@WashedOutGundamPilot @caekislove @sparky @D00B @Kallian @SuperSnekFriend For similar reasons, masonry heaters are *far* preferable to a basic metal wood stove. You can use a lot less fuel to stay warm if you dump a lot of heat into a large thermal mass with a short, hot burn, then let the thermal mass release the heat for the next 12 hours.

People have largely forgotten these things are even an option because we've been spoiled with abundant energy for so long.
