Hello,
It would be really great if everyone here could just post one or a few pictures showing the current state of their house.
I'll start right away.
For renovations, it’s best to provide a comparison of before and after the remodeling.

…heated in the morning, then it has to burn down completely before it can be closed. If we come home late in the evening, it has already cooled down, and it takes about an hour before it warms up again.This handling of a masonry stove is not necessary. There are quite modern devices available. For example, Ortner offers a burn control system. It measures temperatures with sensors and regulates the burn in multiple phases. This not only achieves optimal energy use but also a clean burn (provided good firewood is used). Of course, the stove can also be operated manually without the electronics – it would be ridiculous if a masonry stove didn’t work during a power outage! Loading about 10 kg (22 lbs) of beech wood is sufficient to heat our house comfortably for 24 hours when the outside temperature is 0°C (32°F).hampshire schrieb:

Loading about 10 kg (22 lbs) of beech wood is enough to heat our house comfortably for 24 hours at 0°C (32°F) outside temperature. I admit I am clueless. But how do you distribute the heat throughout the house? With a standard tiled or wood-burning stove, a simple door is enough, and no heat reaches the adjoining room. That’s why we have an opening with a grille in the living area. Still, in the upper floor, no heat arrives.
How is this handled with a masonry heater?
