Traditional Finnish Masonry Oven, Cooking + Heating 

Placing co detector to floor is old missconception. Instructions says that it should be high up. You can also check wikipedia for more information about co "Carbon monoxide has a molar mass of 28.0, which, according to the ideal gas law, makes it slightly less dense than air, whose average molar mass is 28.8"

10:00 "If you mess up at something then the first thing you know,you are dead" pretty much applies to everything on this chanel.

My parents house has a big leivinuuni, my mom makes all the bread they eat there! They dont eat bread from the stores. She also makes cinnamon buns etc. My mom warms up the oven with one full batch of 50cm long halkos and the burning of these dont take that much time, when waiting them to burn, she makes the breads ready for oven. Then she removes the ash and brushes the oven. After baking the breads, she usually makes some kind of stew or casserole in the heat. The oven warms the house for atleast two days after the warm up!

I thought this was a really interesting video. I vote for more wood-fired cooking videos.

Yes, Please! More Traditional Finnish Masonry Oven, Cooking + Heating videos would be very interesting.

I wish more American homes had old masonry ovens in the kitchen. This is perfect for your long cold Scandinavian winters! I would enjoy more "experiments" with the oven and stove. I can appreciate the old ways.

I'm from Switzerland. My grandparents' house used to have a similar oven, but it had separate openings for fire and cooking/baking. Fire would go in the lower part, the cooking would happen in the upper part. Also the oven's openings were in the kitchen, but the body was constructed such that half of it was in the living room and half of it in the bedroom, heating up both in the winter. Construction was like two steps, so you could sit on the lower part or the upper part if it wasn't too hot.

I bet the cats are just absolutely in love with that.

American here. If you are thinking about making this bread, DO IT!. It's amazing. I made it for my family and everyone loves it. Very good.

I built a small masonry heater in my house this summer. I'm from Kansas.

Please make more videos where you use the whole old school kitchen! That oven looks like the one from Kiki's Delivery Service lol!

It is an oven where you cook masonry. Masonry is the most traditional food that Finnish people eat.

My family had headaches one winter when I was growing up. Turns out we were really lucky that our house had cheap leaky windows.

Most of the times (esp in winter) it's much easier to start a draft by burning a single newspaper page in the smoke path very close to the rising chimney. A lot of stoves has even a dedicated slot for this (at least here in Sweden). Also don't burn it to hot, the one I got was destroyed by previous owners of the house, likely by using only oak, to such a degree that the whole thing needs to be torn down due to large cracks in multiple places. (I want to replace with a smaller unit that has a water jacket that can be connected to the house's water carried heating system.)

I, too, vote for more old-style cooking videos :-)

What a gorgeous cat.

throw some flour on your stone before you put in your food on it, comes out clean every time

"Bread shovel" is my new favourite thing.

Real purpose of any such owen is nice warm elevated place for cat. As seen in video.

Leivinuuni 5,000,000 ...... Wonderful video! Thanks so much for warming all of us!

use a thermal imaging camera to see where the best place to put the meals is

Sticks hand in oven at 8:05 "It's hot there."

I love them , specialy ones with the build in beds they are so romantic warm and cozy they bring very old memories so old that I almost don't remember them

My favorite kinds of ovens next to each other :) The AGA style that you have, which used to be traditional in England, are awesome, you can heat it up leave some wood in it and put your sausages and bacon and black pudding etc to slow cook over night then you have a perfectly cooked breakfast waiting for you in the morning :) OH! And stone pizza oven ideal temp is around 250 C so you where not far off and could cook a nice pizza in there

I want to build a cabin with a masonry oven like this one. Much respect from USA!

This is super cool. I love learning about Finnish engineering.

Marvellous!!! Thank you

I visited my friends aunt in Finland a few years ago (lovely lady) and she had one of these, in a more traditional looking style, but in a much smaller room. It was...imposing, to say the least, but great to see. Man, I would really love to go back to Finland...Wrong time to be wishing that, of course 🙁

Great video. I look forward to more traditional Finnish videos.

Yes more cooking you are making me hungry, pizza, breads and traditional meats please.

I’m all for watching some old-fashioned cooking action!

I really love using these ovens, I hope I can one day move to Finland.

That oven is a gem! Treasure it!

WOOD oven gets my mark of approval. 5,000,000

Very interresting... I don't know a lot from Finnish traditional stuffs (even if I'm Belgo-Norvegian) Thanks for this little tour !

Cat warmer 5000000

Corn meal works too, to help keep food (pizza) from sticking to the bricks. Very interesting and would like to see more like this. 👍

I really like the look of Finland.

Lauri the human thermometer , thats so cool !!! Love it lol

Thank you! I am in the US and known about this kind of technology for years, but I have not been able to see it in action before. Please keep sharing videos as you learn more about this great heating method!

Same as German kachel oven - they are awesome. Go to bed and the thing is still warm in the morning.

Wow! You have a Petterson&Findus stove _and_ a brick oven. Lovely. I hope you come to enjoy this stuff.

Dont take all charcoal out. Leave always some near the door making a hot wall.

the new house is great looking! my great grandmother had a cast iron wood stove and would cook on it every day after splitting logs and getting veggies from the garden. She had enough food canned to feed an army, entire room in her house full of canned veggies from the garden, going back decades.

Thank you again for sharing your lives with us. It's a great example of how the internet can be used for positive things- bringing people together and breaking down boundaries. Too much of the opposite out there. I feel as if I have two new Finnish friends, but don't worry....no danger of surprise visits here. :-) Take care and thanks!

it may be "old technology but I remember Odin used one of those in his home many millennia in the past. Survival Russia has a video where he calls her babushka makes pastries in one of those. He says that they are very good whole house warmers. So yes we want more of these they're cool!

Guys, I'm in New York State in the mountains. I have built 3 similar heater/oven masonry heaters, and a cook stove just like yours. The only iron hardware over here is from UPO Finland. The style I have made is from Sweden and is called "contraflow" . One of them is in my machine shop where I specialize in Gear cutting. I would like to see you bake something in the cookstove, Ani. My best guess with the oven/ heater is to put all the wood in there at once after the heating season has started.

I would enjoy more videos similar to this one. Thanks

I saw a larger Russian version where they have sleeping space above,pretty sure it was survival Russia channel. I'd love to have something of this quality

Thank you! Interesting, will like to see in the winter how well it heats your house. I have seen the Russian versions but have never seen one in use. Thank you for sharing and great house!

Niece live in Norway, they have one of those in their home. The home was built in 1923 I believe she said. Heats the whole house and stays warm for hours.

Really enjoyed watching that .

Got similar oven(s) in my home location. It is still on use, mostly for heating. Occasionally also cooking, like carelian stew and similar foods that require long cooking time. Parents used to brush the ashes away, by using self made broom from juniper branches (also soak it in water to tolerate heat)

If you do 3 rounds of burning I think you will get more residual heat in the oven. Looks like fun! I wish I had a full traditional oven + stove like you have there! Nice kitchen!

I would very much like to see more "Old technology Food Burning Stuff Videos" please. I am intrigued by the other cooking unit to the left of the masonry oven.

WOW! That looks so cool. I would love to see more about your wood fired kitchen appliances. I would have so much fun learning how to use that stuff I would never leave the house. Your new home looks like paradise. May you both experience nothing but peace love and happiness there. Thank you for the video.

What a beautiful home!

If you see kitty doing “high lift” dancing on the oven, you know it’s time to put the pizza in!!

O by the way we love the macerrony box, it's unbelievable good

Hey Lauri, you can try blocking the ash opening and using the handle on the main door to crack open the air flow. We do this on our wood stove and it works pretty well.

I really love fire places. They have something magical about them. Every nice home needs one! Also very cool if you have your own forest to harvest your own wood ❤

Hi Dip a moist towel in the cool white ash and use it to clean the glass, when the door is cool, works really well. We used to keep a stew on the back of the oven / hotplate next to the white one and add new meat and vegetables when it got low and keep it hot for weeks at a time. My Father in law used to cook his steak straight on top of the wood stove, no pan. I can remember sitting in front of the oven with the door open and a hessian wheat bag on the door and we would put our feet on the bag to warm them up. The door on ours folded down flat. My Grandmother tried to put a "stick' in her fire box, but it turned out it was a cold little snake and it did not want to go in the fire. She hit it with the poker and put it in anyway. Hard woman.

More old wood burning stuff sounds very cozy right now. I support this idea.

Yes, please show more of the old technologies! I'm very interested!

You guys make great videos! I really liked this video as a little something different than the normal content! I really wish these types of ovens where more common! There is something very wonderful about the idea of planning your day/food around the oven. I think modern people could learn a lot from rediscovering how to live more slowly instead of the instant gratification we have all come to expect!

Zero explosives in this video. You need to pump those numbers up..! Jokes aside, congrats on the new house and cheers from 🇨🇦🍻

I love how on this channel, even cooking requires something that weighs 3 tons.

Greetings from Flint, Michigan. We love watching Your channel :)

Great video thank you! Brings me back to Suomi..

I used to watch a ton of cooking shows when I was growing up cause I wanted to be a chef. Every time there was a wood fired brick oven they would say that the bricks will never heat up evenly so they would move the food around to ensure even cooking.

Let us see the sauna!

I read about a similar oven that was designed to burn the wood at a very high temperature, but only for a short time. The heat is captured by the mass and released slowly during the day. The benefit of this oven is low emissions from the high burning temperature.

We have similar type of fireplace in Denmark. In danish they are called "masseovn" or like mass-oven in english. Not many around, but people are happy with them! :D

You can also find this type oven's in old houses in Poland.

All rise for the amazing gymnastics that cat was doing at the beginning of the video 😂

Back to the basic stone oven and cooking. Love it!

Naturalgas and condensation boilers is the common heatsource in the Netherlands, but some homes in the countryside soapstone stove as a alternative heatsource.

Wow that brick oven is pretty cool! and yeah why not its interesting!

thank you for teaching me about the magical land of finland 🙏

your place is amazing super nice stuff, i wish we had that here in the US

There used to be big ovens like this in rural Bedfordshire, but only behind the local bakery. Up until the 1930s when the national grid made electric ovens cheaper to use. It was behind the bakery, not in it, so the back of the bakery would be warm enough for the bread to rise before cooking in the winter, but it wouldn't be unbearable in the summer. (When my brother bought a farm in central France, the old bread oven was completely outdoors. It still worked.) In the thirties, my grandparents would do only essential work on Sundays (such as cycling as far as Woburn to preach) and so the Sunday roast was put in a large covered dish with vegetables around it on the Saturday, and it would go into the baker's oven after the fire was out. Families had to queue in the right order when they put the roasting dishes in and when they took them out, so everybody got the right dish back.

These were sometimes built in Northern Michigan houses during the 80's when I lived there. There was a local dealer that imported them from somewhere in scandinavia and did installation.

Pretty much one of the best shirts ever

Like the cooking videos (doesn't matter if it's here or on Anni's RU-vid) also nice with a follow up in the winter! Very impressive heat retention properties on that oven 👍👌

Good video !! Greatings from Argentina.

I like to see videos about life in Finland ! Very cool

The bread shovel is called a peel in English. The word derives from pāla, the latin for shovel.

Yes need to see more!

All the best for your new house and a happy new year!

Meow. That's a beautiful kitty.

Kiitos, we have a kaakeliuuni (Probably spelled that wrong), this is really helpful… despite your results, I will hopefully save some electricity this autumn by using the wood heater before I turn the heat pump on and I will use the heat after the fire is finished to slow cook meals in a covered cast iron pot.

You two are so cute and I love your cat! Keep being amazing!

Yes, I'd love to see the other oven in operation also. We don't have anything like that in America. I'm surprised you didn't push the live coals to the back while cooking the bread in the front, like a dome brick oven.

Using thermite will let you use it sooner and be stupidly hot for crispy crusts.

I love my BlazeKing stove. Its designed for heating, but the catalyst is in the top of the stove, so so its very good for cooking with Cast Iron. The BlazeKing is the type of stove that bakes the wood and burns the smoke.

Some day I wanna see Finland cool place with cool people

13:33 Try Baking Parchment (Leivinpaperi) next time under the bread.

My favorit place in winter is on top of the owen

This is super fascinating. In the southern parts of the USA where I live, traditionally the kitchen would not be in the middle of the house and would be sealed off from the rest of the house by a door because heat is such a problem in the summer. Larger homes with slaves/servants would usually have the kitchen in an entirely different building. The homes might have a fireplace for heating in the winter, but most of the cooking would be done on a cast iron stove. It's very interesting how different climates influence the way homes are designed.
