Meet the Innovative Hearthmaster Stove
The Hearthmaster Stove
Once the fire is burning hot, a door is closed which sends the flue gasses down and horizontally under a stone bench that is warm and inviting to sit on. Copper coils circulate water for baths and dishes.
This amazing stove produces twice the heat with the same amount of the wood, plus, it heats all the domestic water.
This means that the woodpile lasts twice as long, with more heat delivered to where it is needed, not up the chimney.
Normal woodstoves send 60-70% of their heat up the chimney. The Hearthmaster retains 60-70% and sends the rest up, reversing the figures, doubling the woodpile.
I have noticed in my Heartmasters ( we have 2) that the fire does not need to roar in order to produce a lot of heat, it’s just a kind of meandering, calm flame that nibbles the wood, doesn’t consume it voraciously.
In my 30 years of heating with wood, I’ve never seen anything come close to this stove.

Where have you been living. These types of stoves/fire places have been around for a long time. I had a similar type in Australia about 30 years ago. Duct-ed hot air all around the house and a wetback for all the hot water. Not so good in the summertime.
Philip, yes this is ancient technology resurfacing, no patent, copy at will, people need this, thanks for your input, anything else?

Robert~ How many square ft. will this little hummer service? I’ve used “Earth Stoves”, Tin Lizzies, and pellet stoves, and this rig I think would probably out perform them all. Not sending your energy up the stack and slower wood consumption are a big advantage. I really like it but I’m sure my landlord (of 7 years) would have a coronary if I asked him to install one. Good job!
chautauqua,
the amount of heat is determined by the kind and water content of the wood and how fast or slow it is allowed to burn. This is a smal stove but it can heat 1000′ no problem

This stove is just what I need. Where to find a dealer? U.S.A, Europe?
Same question – for (Eastern) Canada

This is a custom unit, I could build you one but it would be expensive, or I could walk you through the process, and you could build it yourself…

I think this type of burner is what we should all be considering to gain some independence.
Another beautiful product with an inspiring story.

Basic principle is ancient, google masonry stove or russian stove, the best are 90% efficient as opposed to an open fireplace which is 10%. The oldest working masonry stove in the world is over 500 years old and is in northern Italy.
Just what I have been looking for – I have done this to my existing wood stove over and over in my head…for the same reasonable, practical considerations you mention…but I don’t have the tech savvy to put it together – and local people here in Nova Scotia Canada while they may see the benefit, the leap of imagination needed clashes with the building codes established, mainly it seems at this point, to sell corporate building materials (that are ‘to code’).
I would like to know how I can move on this – I don’t see a price list anywhere for one thing. Do you sell adaptors for existing wood stoves – the part that wraps around to extend the thermal heat use, and especially the boiler unit, where the water is heated?
Please could you let me know via my email if you do. THanks!
This configuration creates a flue cleaning nightmare does it not?

all flues need cleaning, this one is not difficult, just unscrew the pipes

You will have to build your own, this stove is not certified for sale. All parts can be bought over the counter except the main door which has to built by a welder. Call me, I will help you, will walk you through it, its not difficult
