I'm stoked to be able to offer the wonderful masonry stove title Poêles à accumulation by Vital Bies and Marie Milési.
Filled with images and clear illustrations, one of the only French language books on masonry heaters. Covers the history and other kinds of mass stoves, the principles of heat transfer, wood heat, human comfort, efficiency art, and cratfsmanship. Explains operation and construction of a masonry stove for both the DIY builder as well as the customer. There's a section on Rocket Mass Heaters!

Erica Wisner has recently released this little gem of a book, The Art of Fire. A perfect companion for any wood-burning device user, especially useful beside the hearth to delight--and instruct-- about fire. It's wonderful.
Two versions are available both for download: A print-friendly version, for $9 and a web format version for $8. Enjoy!

Other Stove Builders:

We have on hand a list of fellow pyros who have built these stoves and take great pleasure in thinking and talking about fire. They can perhaps answer some of your questions or come to your site to give advice. Some will charge a fee, some will not. Perhaps you would like a workshop at your site, or for your group or school, etc. Contact us for referrals.

Ernie Wisner and Erica Ritter Wisner are doing so much for the innovation, education, and implentation of this tech it's a wonder there are only two of them. Workshops, books, videos, stoveplans, entertaining educational presentations, and they moderate the forum at permies dot com.

Kiko Denzer's Website, hanprintpress.com

Kiko talks about fire as well as earthen materials in his oven books, so even if you aren't building an oven, there is useful instruction here. Art and craft.
