Enclose Entereprise Savoy 54D into bricks

[Tohonu]

Good afternoon,

I just bought an old house and a Savoy 54D was included. Working fine, all functional (at least it is heating this old 1900 house) even if I do not know yet how to made the oven work properly to be able to cook with it.

My question is more related to : can we remove the siding (enameled steel ? ) and have the then naked structure surrounded by bricks on the side and back ? I would love to enclose it in bricks as picture. BUT, is it safe ? will it act like a thermal mass ?

I will not modify the physical structure of the stove or its functionalities. Realistic ? COns and Pros ?

Thank you for the answers. have a good day.

It sounds dubious. My concern, beside proper clearances and heat transfer through the brick would be that the brick may soak up too much heat causing uneven baking. A layer of micore would help insulate it from the bricks.

Thank you. I will take a look on the stove once the winter over. I will remove the sides and front, also the top as I need to check the good -- or not good -- health of the inside. Perhaps this will end with embedding the stove in a brick cladding only to make something more "country style".
