We have the same wood stoves here in neighbouring Romania. Whenever I go visit my parents in the countryside and they heat up the stove I realise how cool of a "technology" it is, that is to still have a heat source many hours after the fire the had done its thing. Unfortunately building/making wood stoves is a dying art, you can find less and less people who are good at it. And the trouble is that if you build a defective wood stove you risk all sorts of nasty stuff, like dying from carbon monoxide intoxication.
