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.
Sounds like a great goal, Adam -
You might want to look at Matt Walker's designs: https://walkerstoves.com/ I am building one of these designs now.... the plans have been really helpful, Matt has a lot of videos, and has been great about answering additional questions by email.
Also other options in the Rocket Mass Heaters forum: https://permies.com/f/260/rocket-mass-heaters
Let us know how it goes...

Hey Adam, Great Idea!
Heating with brick is the best way to stay toasty warm!
Matt Walker's Stoves are beautiful and super efficient.

I have three, as well as a Walker Black and White oven.
