A Very Gorgeous Little Rocket Mass Type Terracotta Stove...

A friend of mine found this gorgeous little
Rocket mass type terracotta stove at a farmers market in Switzerland and just had to bring it home to New Zealand.
It's one of the cutest little cookers or heaters I've seen and with the addition of a small (55mm) flue with a couple of bends in it to protrude through an opening in the window, it will sit very well on a table in her housetruck.
And cooking and heating will be only
a few twigs away...
