$15 Russian Pechka — The Brick Stove That Cooked, Heated, and Slept Entire Families for 800 Years

The pechka was not an appliance. It was the house. And then it disappeared from the building manual. In this video, you will learn how to build a simplified masonry thermal mass heater based on the eight hundred year old Russian pechka principle, for under two hundred dollars in materials.
