hej hej all u people, Its getting cold outside so today its time to get the bigone going! Dont know if u guys know this kind of fireplace but its an old swedish kaklung it realy stay warm for a long time.
Its acualy very simple stove , one burning chamber goes up in one pipe, then the pipes splits up in to and going back down again (on the sides), and on the bottom comes one again and going right up ( on the back) strait in to the chimney. This "kaklugn" as the swedish call it is a very good warmer, it takes about 6 hours before its starts to give heat, but when its hot it pushes out the heat for a long time , and i only fill it 2 times a day. I got an other kaklugn standing in the school ( yes i live in an old school building) this one is made from metal. Its works the same as the first one but it gets warmer mush more quickly. My kitchen i get warm with an old husqvarna heater. I also cook on it and it suplies me with warm water. ( got no running water in the house, i hault it from outside from my well) Here are also some pictures from the heaters. Later all (again excuse my poor english)
Don't worry about your English, it is very good and better than many guys who speak it natively. And much better than than my Norwegian.
Those kaklugn's are really cool! About how many hrs will it it give you good heat? I also love your cook stove!
Those are some great stoves! I've heard a lot of euro-stoves are built with a lot of thermal mass, and every one I've seen is beautiful! I bet if you brought that Husqvarna cook stove stateside and listed it for sale it would start one heck of a bidding war. Good to see you guys have toilet paper there too!
It is a variation of the rocket stove concept or the other way around- depending on which predates which. But what is real interesting is the distance of the unit to the walls, unless it is just the picture that makes it look so close.
The sweden and Norway make some incredible stoves. Jotul is a great stove they make as well. They get some bad winters there as well
