Masonry heater

In a passive wood house. This masonry heather with compressed earth block walls on each side capture the warmth from the stove and heats the entire house.

The mass of compressed earth blocks continues to heat the room during 24 hours after the fire is extinguished.

Inertia wall for a passive house
