I thought about building a stone fireplace, maybe have a built-in fireplace and then a wood burning stove.
im not an expert on fireplaces.. but i know that the thick heavy metal wood burning stoves ones are really amazing .. they push a lot of heat out.. a stone fireplace or built in isnt nearly as good as most heat goes out the chimney and the stones don't get nearly as hot as metal.. i made a builtin one on in my earthship and it is pretty useless.. u have to sit right next to it to feel much,, and it seems so silly to watch most of the heat fly out the roof!
hope that helps!! <3 x
That is a really good point, most the heat is lost. And I can cook on the wood burning stove. I think I still want one for dramatic effect 😄
fair enough! they are amazing to sit in front of for that cozy feelin... i guess you can have both.. the cast iron ones are quite cheap i think.. just a few hundred dollars.. well at least in Portugal they were!
sending you full power energy for this job.. hoping you dont have a deadline.. it sounds like your happy to go slow and sure.. x
No deadline, I figured at least a year. Although we will see when I start hauling rocks out of the wash. lol!
