Hello everyone,
can someone maybe give me a tip on how to distinguish a masonry heater from a fireplace? I am currently doing several house viewings and often the owners themselves have no idea when I ask what kind of stove it is. I am particularly interested in one (without having to ask the chimney sweep or an expert every time), it is located in the middle of an open room, built from floor to ceiling. Attached is a snippet from the exposé. Do you already see anything? Heating is done on the hearth/floor, there is no grate on which the wood is placed.

My question usually aims at whether I will be allowed to operate the stove from next year without extensive retrofitting. Masonry heaters have fewer restrictions in this regard..
Best regards and thanks to you!
