Aloha,

They're a bit pricey, but Masonry stoves are designed to burn one intense fire a day and hold the heat. I have heard, though, that you must make sure that you are getting a well designed and put together stove. I know of a guy that spent a good deal of money on his and was disappointed because of the contractor that he used. I believe they work best in smallish dwellings. Check out this link for more info.

You can also build a thermal mass stove/heater DIY using cob and stock stovepipe and so on. Contact Cob Cottage Co. for info:

There is one built quite a few years ago now in the "conventional" house at their place near Cottage Grove, OR...probably others since then. Anyhow I've seen that one and felt its warmth midday after a morning firing...very nice, especially since there was a warm cob 'couch' built into it.
