A delicate problem than that of this subject: a wood stove is good but it is, in permanence:
a) a source of air leaks
b) a thermal bridge
If anyone has ideas to improve these 2 points? This is especially true for conventional stoves. The pellet stoves seem to me better on these 2 points.
For fireplaces, it is much worse and I do not even prefer to mention the problem. Only one solution apart from the condemnation: put inserts!
Stoves and wood burning fireplace = thermal bridges + air leaks?

I don't understand where you see a thermal bridge in a wood stove.
As for air leaks, I don't see too much either.
The air being taken at ground level on the ground, it is therefore a question of
the coldest air in the house, apart from the cellar.
to preserve a certain quality of air it is necessary to renew it.
recycle to heat the house, the outside air being cooler than
that inside, by penetrating the quantity necessary for the
combustion the relative humidity of the ambient air is lowered .D or
more comfort and less need to heat.
The inserts are the worst solution. No thermal inertia, very large
air consumption to keep the tile clean, cooling
systematics of the hearth. The real return is not terrible.
To give you an idea of what I think about it.
July 2 insert Bodard and G., 2 years ago winter passes I replaced
insert by a wood stove. Since we are better heated
(more uniform and controllable temperature) and we consume
half the wood. We went from 30-35 M² to
15 -20 m² max.
By the way, it's time to buy one on E bay.
not yet very expensive and the crisis helping they remain are even sometimes
almost given.
I just bought a small wood boiler in ... Germany.
An old thing for 50 €. I'll get it tomorrow. I'll hold you
aware.
Here it is in photo while waiting to have it live:
There's even an oven, it's going to be handy for roasting in winter.

Well, it's simple:
a) it is made of metal
b) it is permanently connected to the outside via the metal chimney also
It's worse with an insert ...
= thermal bridge!

No stove is really 100% waterproof, even closed draft!
Well, I'm sure that a passive house would not pass the waterproofing test if it was fitted with a stove (with pellet or logs)!
Is it a boiler (hydraulic) or a stove? It looks more like a stove! In any case for 50 € it is a deal ... if it is in condition!
ps: my remark concerns a stove or a stopped chimney!

Tof, did you try to calculate the metal surface in contact with the outside in a smoke evacuation tube?Christophe wrote:Rabbit wrote:I don't understand where you see a thermal bridge in a wood stove.

It actually can cause more problems, we should find figuresChristophe wrote:No stove is really 100% waterproof, even closed draft!

But good at the same time in a passive house, we do not need a stove!
