And what is in these dependencies? (On the 1st and on the ground).
No, at the RDZ it's an old stone wall 50cm thick. Upstairs is just a simple placo partition.
the outbuilding is a barn with a dirt floor, there is no floor.
Perfect...! You have a 'rustic' type of construction well suited to a mass stove.
As an example, here is what is possible (by being flexible, eh...)
— You can turn the stairs (temporarily during assembly) and make a mass stove in the same place (underneath but overflowing), and made of refractory bricks — it being understood that part of the body of the mass stove would be housed "under the stairs" (and using the largest available volume that can be "stepped over" by the steps) the rest "to be stepped over" by steps, being in bricks (or cast refractory concrete) the gable wall eventually becoming "
inertial wall"... So you would have about 180cm from the gable wall to the bathroom door x 1m wide (or less under the stairs)
More than enough to do without changing your little habits too much, the wood stored in the outbuilding would be immediately available at just 1m away! No wasted space and only need 1 to 2 logs for 24 hours...
To answer your concerns, you can never burn your hand by touching a good mass stove... This danger does not exist, you recover the current wooden steps to put them on, identically!
— or else you don't touch the stairs and build the mass stove between the stairs and the bathroom door
in height, i.e. approx. 1m2 on the ground (or less)
— or there finally, always placed in the same place, for approx. 300€, the "semi-removable" mass stove (because it can be transported once emptied of its sand) to be assembled yourself too, from a barrel... (video available, as well as about forty pages of instructions, gear list and tips...

What do you have in the basement?
