Hi Nancy, were in Cornwall.  Have you looked at the Gamera stoves from Bulgaria, we have purchesed one, just got to build a bench, but cant make our minds up which method to go for, only want to do it once!!

Apologies, that should be Matt at Walker stoves, typed in haste...head full of gas and flue pipe!, apologies to Matty as well

Hi All,
Greetings from your cousins the other side of  "the Pond"
I am caught in 2 minds weather to build my RMH with the pipes running thru the bench, or to go with the Hollow bench  stratification method. Has anyone built the stratification model?   There are plenty of posts about the pipe method.   I would like to go with the Stratification method, its seems easier and cheaper to construct, but i am worried about there being sufficient draw.   I guess if the hollow bench was not great, its easier to deconstruct it and build the pipe method, than the other way around.  Matt at Taylor stoves has been fantastic with his advice, i just wondered if any permie had built one.  I have purchased a Gamera" stove from Bulgaria, like the Uncle mud guys use, so its only the bench i am concerned about.  Any thoughts?
