Why masonry heaters are not popular?:
-masonry is not popular here
-predominantly Anglosaxons brought the culture of fireplaces (despite being inappropriate for most of continent's climate)
If Russians or Poles would settle northern America, masonry heaters would be a norm, everyone would see one or had one in childhood or at present and people would be open to the idea of building another one, especially in the countryside with access to free wood. There would be also plenty of stove masons available. Here masons are scarce and want usually $1000 per day (if quoted per project) and stove masons are even rarer species and more expensive.
