Great pictures Eugen. I’m curious about the wood burning stove. Is it a free standing unit of insert in to wall.
Looks like it was made to burn coal. But they will burn wood fine too.
Hope you’re all doing well. And have a nice day.

Noel, here's the thing. This is the most common type around here. One gets a master stove maker to come and build it in place. Masonry: fire brick on the inside and various types of ceramic and brick on the outside. There are several channels going from the bottom to the top such that the hot smoke travels along the channels and the masonry absorbs the heat. Once hot, the masonry is like a battery, gives many hours of heat. Same with the walls of the building, once they warm up they tend to stay warm for a while, most old houses made of solid brick.

This one's about 3.5 feet wide, 2.5 feet deep, and 7 feet tall.

The chimney in my house was built, used a lot over 30+ years, and then after I inherited, and had to replace the stove, finally got cleaned. Only a few gallons of flakes after all that time when I shoveled out the cleanout after brushing. We were always pretty careful about our wood selection and seasoning though...
