[Cob] cob stoves,masonry stoves

[Marlin]

Do you (Sasha) have any resources, recommended literature on how to home make a masonry stove? In the States it is definately sold as being too complex for "do it yourselfers"...I'm also very curious about the tiles/homemade that you mentioned.

Hello 
I build traditional masonry stoves also known as kachelofens.They are built by 
asembling ceramic tiles with clay mixed with grain husk (dont know the proper 
term in english).It is not to complicated to build a simple masonry stove,I 
dont know why stove building costs so much in the states.I belive you could 
build a stove for few hundred bucks.
