Planning to build a yurt in Czech Republic

[Knecht]

I have some...what for?

Soapstone is known for it's heat retention and release properties:

Soapstone: The soft rock with incredible heat properties!

That's why many stove manufacturers use it to line their stoves with.

Interesting, thanks. I think I've heard about the Innuits linig their firepits with it. I have rather small pieces, that I use for carving various historical stuff. Not sure if I could find any large blocks around.

I have it inside and outside of my stone. It stays warm long after the fire goes out.

Knecht I like the wall lattice to deck anchors.

My dinky little 'insert' style wood stove was lined with fire brick bottom sides and back. I pitched it to make the sove volume somewhat bigger. Big mistake. Less mass, and the bottom of the stove warped enough to put a bind on the air intake control. What a dolt. lol

BTW, here is my updated stove pipe:

Nice. Putting a pipe through wall makes some things much easier, though it requires well prepared wall section for that.

If you have a traditional one room yurt, as I do, a stove in the middle is advantageous in terms of even heat distribution throughout the yurt. That's a big deal if you have a drafty poorly insulated and sealed yurt like mine. However a side placement is out of the way. A wood stove in a home is rarely situated in the center of the room.

I found out my stove is great if you like roasted sausage for supper.
Which I do! The large door is just above the fire grid, makes roasting easy.
