Hi John;
I had not heard of this before.
Very interesting, although very vague about the design and installation.
No mention of how much heat is going out the chimney.
I suspect quite a bit.

Perhaps there could be a way to utilize this into a mass and store the heat.
Clean burning it may be but sending heat up the chimney is not efficient at all.

For all your Montana Masonry Heater parts (also known as) Rocket Mass heater parts.

I am not sure it does, its basic design is similar to other wood heaters which seem to radiate the heat from the wirebox.
It appears more efficient.
I am trying to find someone who has used it.
I have an old 30 year old heater that could be updated and its the same as his heater mentioned.
