Aware of the upcoming fossil fuel shortage, I’ve been looking for the best way to build comfortable, efficient and ecological housing adapted to the climate of my area, the Basque Country. We suffer cloudy, cold, damp winters. The steep terrain where we live is best suited for growing forest, so wood it’s a good resource for us to use. Mass heaters, a total unknown here, seemed to me the best way to obtain heating from raw wood: solid, low-tech, very efficient and beautiful.  Of course, there’re many kinds of mass heaters, but none as flexible as the system developed by Igor Kuznetsov. Building bells instead of channels opens the possibility to obtain many uses from one stove: oven, cook top, hot water, heated bench, coal production, sauna heaters are just a few of the many possibilities.
