Stove

Today we bought our wood burning stove. Because the building is practically air-tight, the chimney has to transport the air to the stove, and at the same time get rid of the smoke. There are basically two pipes, one inside the other.The building has to be fitted with a monitor to shut off the ventilation system in the house in case of negative pressure. And everything has to be checked twice a year by a chimney sweep. The outer shell of the stove is made of soapstone (steatite) as in the picture and it holds the heat for about 4 hours after the fire has gone out.
