That is quite amazing. Looks very efficient. How often if ever do you need to clean or replace the gravel? Being totally offgrid we use a cast iron woodstove for heating and cooking through winter. The well insulated cabin is only 30m2 (~300sq foot) but midwinter it just keeps up...between winter and summer sometimes need to open the door to let heat out. Have plenty of wood cut and growing but it is a lot of work to cut and stack. The woodstove needs feeding at least every 5-6 hours but if you run it too low too long which was happening a lot this winter just been the flue gets a buildup of tar and can set off a fire inside which happened last month - fortunately it just burned off the tar and didn't go further but sure was roaring out the top. Nothing compares to food cooked on the woodstove which demands a relaxed and unhurried style of cooking.
