Thanks for all the answers so far.
It becomes clearer to me what I need to do.

I'll take the information to a local stove-builder and see what comes out of it.
The wall is made of red brick. I suppose it conducts the heat well, so that it radiates on both sides. That's what I wanted to make sure.

Another concern is how much fuel it would need. I definitly don't want to have to feed it all day long.

As a nice first job, I should problably best build a small standard rocket stove and experiment with it. I can see that now.

Hi all,
I'm thinking of building a rmh as primary heating source in my house.
As a thermal battery, I would send the gasses through a vertical mass up a wall going to the second floor.

Would that give enough warmth to heat the two floors?
The battery should heat rooms on both sides of the wall. If I build the battery of bricks and cob on one side of it, would the wall itself function as a thermal battery to radiate in the other room?

Any remarks, suggestions?
