Hello. I am back With A little bit of my experience about using masonry heater. We Have Had It Running for Nearly 2 months now. So far so good. No problems Whatsoever. Believe me the thing is amazing. At first the Walls to get dry and warm weekends The House bed one fire in the Morning and Another With One reload in the Evening. In the morning i have Measured average surface temperatures of 42°c. front /37°c sides. Now with my experience and a couple of minor improvments, we only lit one fire a day and temperatures are 44°c./39°c. In the evening before a new fire is lit the temperatures are still around 34°c/35°c, that is after nearly 24 hours. We found that this solution works well for us because it enables the central heating to kick on for 2x 1/2h per day. When we have 2 good fires/day i now have t° of 50°c et 41°c.
I found that i had an excellent draft in my chimney so that some hot air was escaping from my home made rooftop damper. I have solved that and found significant improvment. I do recommend rooftop dampers. it enables us to keep our upstairs bedroom confortable. The chimney runs into One of Them And We Keep the door open.
I am more and more positive about it. Next time i will in my view adress What IS The Most Challenging part of a masonry heater: make a good fire ...
Hello, I'm back with some user experience. It's been two months that it heats: NA. Believe me all this stuff is great. At first, after break, we were two fires per day, morning and evening (you know what is the new toy ...) to heat the walls. The morning I measured the surface temp of 42 ° to 37 ° front and sides.
Now highlight of my little experiment, we switched to a light / day. The measured temperatures are 44 ° and 39 °. The night before the ignition (ie 22 hours after) they are still 34 ° and 35 ° ... This method has the advantage for us to ensure that central heating snaps for a 1 / 2 hour 2x/day for parts unheated not the MDP. On weekends we do a good 2 outbreaks per day and t ° are 50 ° and 41 °.
I discovered that I was losing a lot of heat through my chimney leaking valve at 100% and I have corrected. I highly recommend the flip top of the chimney cat it can heat the floor also by radiation. Anyway I am more positive and I will next time, the partie la plus delicate: comment faire un bon feu.
