Build in a cheap wood stove?

[Bokholmen]

Hello, I'm considering buying a cheap wood stove from something like Byggmax, then enclosing it in masonry and covering the masonry with some nice façade stone.

Has anyone done something similar? Advantages, disadvantages? Is it feasible?

Regards,

How do you plan for the heat to come out into the room?

It's more likely a stove insert you should have.

Hi, or a stove insert, I was mostly thinking of a nice casing for a cheap stove or insert.. the air should come out just like with a stove, I assume you need to have channels in the build...
