This is a very small unit you are describing, and it may work fine for cooking, but will probably not have enough heat output or draft strength to charge a storage mass. What is the size and character of your dwelling structure?
it will be placed in a small sunroom facing east 2,5x3,5x2m = 8x11,5x6,6ft that also acts as a fly brake in front of my tiny one-room house which is like 5x5x4m =~16x16x13ft (drawing attached)
aside from being able to cook with it it should also warm a slim bench that is 2x1x0,45m = 6,6x3,2x1,47ft and maybe the triangular space under the roof (where my night bed is) - the whole house would be even better
the stove should go two lengths through the bench/bed and then go up a through a smoke tube through the highest edge of the sunroom which is like 2,5m = 8,2ft measured from floor level and go up for another 1m=3,2ft or so

thats right, i edited my original post, pasting it here aswell:
PS: i know that the ratio isn't 1:2:3 or even 1:2:4 BUT
i thought since it will be well insulated and i have two doors:
i could use the ash door to create a L tube to get it started (also convenient for cleanout)
and once it burns and has enough draft i can close it and switch to the upper door to create a J feeding tube OR i can load fuel vertically through the upper door close it again and keep the lower door open for air intake - should/could that work?

You will likely be better off building a separate heater for space heating.
my space is very limited so i try to combine it
what chamber diameter would you suggest for that space? all i can get out of the stove like in that batch design? space under the cooking surface is 28x50x41,5cm =~ 11x20x16ft should that be enough? (kind of nice btw - haven't seen it before)
i prefer the j-tube though - i like the gravity feed design
i would go for barrelbuild but it gets so tall (following the proven design - i would need a stool to cook on top) and i'm not sure if the top will be hot enough to cook wok menues and that kind of stuff, will it? -
also i would miss the baking oven -
so i still want to find a way to build a working hybrid - themed the quote hope dies last
thanks for your thoughts so far!
