ROYWOOD Masonry Heaters, LLC

A diagram of a Swedish Five-Channel stove. From The Book of Masonry Stoves by David Lyle.

A “white” oven means that the fire does not pass through the baking chamber.  The heat is transferred to the Oven through the oven’s walls.  This allows baking during firing, and keeps fly ash out of the baking area.

A “black” oven means the the fire passes directly through the baking chamber.  Baking during firing is not possible.

Roywood core design includes a white baking oven option.  The temperature in the oven exceeds 500F degrees during firing and is sustained at or above 350 for approximately 6 hours.

My name is Thomas Woods Price.  I was born in St. Johnsbury, Vermont.  I am a mason by trade, and I learned the art of the masonry stove from Eric Nilsen of Dalton, New Hampshire.  I co-founded Roywood Heaters with Royce Thompson after he hired me to build his Finnish Fireplace.  I am in charge of product design, refractory castings, and installation.  I want to be of assistance to anyone interested in the masonry stove.
