Here is a link to a .pdf download of the book "Finnish Fireplaces" from one of the original U.S. He brought the knowledge over in the 70's and is responsible for having this book translated from Finnish.
Good luck.

Thanks a lot, that is very helpful.

I found the picture randomly while browsing the internet, I like the design and I would like to build something like that or the ones mentioned by other members above, unfortunately I am out of states and can not order stove supplies from him, I am going to have to buy everything locally or make my own. Thank you all for the suggestions.

Please delete. Thanks

Right now I am using split a/c unit that  works for individual rooms but I want to build a masonary wood stove/ oven / heater at the center of the house. I am looking for the internal and external design of various types of masonary heaters? Something like this one in the picture below.

Hi,
I have a question regarding the plants and the media used for the roots in a natural grey water filtration system, what are the best plants selection that are fast growing? can plain gravel be used as a media for the roots, is there other options?
