Would a masonry stove, or russian stove be enough to keep a cob home warm in 
winter? The stove may not put out enough heat to heat the entire home, but 
would think possibly that a masonry stove once got going may do the trick. Since 
the heat from a masonry stove can, from what I have read in a stick frame home 
with fiberglass insulation, keep a home comfortable for a couple of days from 
one firing in freezing weather. Would the masonry stove be enough heat to 
also warm up the walls of a cob home and keep it that way until the next firing? 
A day or two.  Thanks all
