Hello.  It's my first post on permies and I hope someone can relate to it.  It's an odd one.  
 
I'd like to add a wood stove to my house.  I have other heat sources going on, but the kitchen and master bathroom are the issue.  They both have tile floors and are on a northwest exterior wall and they radiate cold air.  These two rooms have a laundry room in between them, which I don't need to heat but it's the perfect spot for this stove.  The door of the laundry room opens to the kitchen but there's a wall that separates the laundry room from the master bathroom.  

My question is, what are some effective ways at getting heat through the wall?

Hello John!  

Welcome to the forum!

It sounds like you could build a rocket mass heater.

In this video there is a heater you might be able to use to put heat on both sides of a wall.



In this movie there are many examples of rocket mass heaters installed in a variety of locations.  I think this is one of the best movies to help you decide what to build in a specific space.

Once you decide what you want to build you can get the specific plans for any of these designs.
