Wood-burning stove in new construction - What to pay attention to?

A lot of thermal mass means that a lot of heat is absorbed and then released again. That’s what I do when I want to heat.
If I just want to have a nice fire for a moment and not a sauna, I avoid that as much as possible. The DIY store stove from €1,000 is enough for that. And if you want to see a lot of fire, you take a stove with a large combustion chamber and a big glass panel. That can also be 12kW – works very well from my own experience and doesn’t overheat the room too much.

That is the purpose of a stove. For ambiance, you can also use ethanol, which costs much less.

You need thermal mass to distribute the heat over a long period. For us, over 12 hours. When we heat up, the room temperature rises from 22 to 24-25 and stays like that for a long time.

Without thermal mass, it shoots up to 28, you have to ventilate, and you never reach a comfortable climate.

That’s why in new buildings stoves should only have a lot of heat storage or be water-based.

Schorni was already there, we have a room air-independent stove, but a pressure monitor was still prescribed. We have implemented everything accordingly.

I was already recommended a Hase Dehli here, which would have 3-6 kW and could also be operated with little wood over a long period of time. So you wouldn't have to constantly run the stove at full capacity to achieve a low-smoke, clean combustion. Are there any further recommendations?

that is just playing with definitions. the justus reno also has 3.2 - 6.3 kW, but that is only in the datasheet, not on the homepage, and Hase hides the nominal heat output of their stove galant, only naming the heat output range. the Delhi 114 has 5 kW. it can only take 25 cm logs and is neither a continuous burn nor a timed burn stove. I would leave it. maximum 20 cm high, maximum one layer, maximum 1.5 kg... sounds like expensive toy. but on the other hand exactly what you are looking for.

Without storage it shoots up to 28, you have to ventilate and never reach a comfortable climate.

We had about 12kW and never got the living room above 25 degrees (starting at about 21.5-22 degrees). Independent of room air without additional storage - was just for fun.

12kw? Do you have underfloor heating? If yes, what temperature do you usually set it to?

Yes, we did. ERR were just decoration though. It was set so that it was always around 21.5-22 degrees. The flow temperature was, I believe, about 26 degrees at normal temperatures (here in the Lower Rhine region it’s not really wintry). Very close pipe spacing in the underfloor heating.
