Reviewing the Thermal Mass Wood Stove option for the 2 Dog stove

http://www.healthy-mind-body.com/healthy_spirit_blog/tag/thermal-mass-wood-stove-surround/

I've seen several very successful installations where a conventional stove is used inside a brick archway or surrounded by a brick wall, and these structures can hold heat for days. It is a great idea.
Cool - I got the free bricks off Craig's List. I got the stove pipe! Ready to go.

 The bricks now capture heat and warmth remains from the stove half a day longer than before.
sweet.

So that's actual rerouting of the exhaust!!

Surround the stove with solid bricks. I noticed a huge difference in heat given off by the stove. Just piled them up on the sides and at the back...

The brick wall behind this stove gives a false sense of security as it is built well but does not have the air flow behind it to qualify as a code compliant heat shield. Unfortunately this type of heat shield is not currently insurance compliant in a WETT inspection because it doesn’t move enough air. It would have to have every second brick on the bottom as well as the top removed to provide air flow through the cavity behind it so as not to be heat absorbing like bricks are known to be.

 Extra precaution should be used when opening a door when you own a 4 dog stove. the baffle by its design restricts the flow of smoke up the stove pipe like a damper.

 Note that 12 gauge steel is not very thick. It is appropriate for a portable camping stove, but if used hard and surrounded tightly with bricks it could easily get so hot it warps badly or starts to burn out in some spots. You would need to be sure air could circulate freely between the bricks and the stove body, and not pile bricks directly on the top without airspaces.
 I layed bricks loose around the stove fully covering both sides and as much as possible of the back. 50 bricks in all. After an evenings burning, the bricks get hot enough to store noticable heat until morning (about 6 hours).

 For this plan to work appreciably you need at least a half-ton of stone shrouding your stove.

 Nice. ... A thick insulator such as brick should go underneath, and position it away from the wall. Those stoves can get really hot.
best way to load the stove vid

  soapstone is the closest thing in density to water . . best stuff you can get for heat storage . .  but costly $$$
