Review of fireplace stoves for heating. Long-burning stove-fireplace for a summer residence - making the right choice

Country houses in our country, as a rule, are not designed for living in winter, and therefore they do not require the installation of a heating system. For a comfortable stay on cool summer and autumn nights, many people heat their dacha with a stove or use household heaters. These methods are ineffective, since a potbelly stove requires a lot of wood consumption, and heaters consume a lot of electricity, and both of them are capable of heating only a small space around them. An excellent solution for those who like to spend time in the country is to install a long-burning stove-fireplace in the house.

General characteristics

Modern solid fuel stoves and fireplaces are very compact and have a very aesthetic appearance. Most models have sealed fire-resistant glass doors that allow you to admire the flames.

With all the variety of models, all devices consist of the following parts

• metal body (cast iron or steel);
• combustion chambers - fireboxes (many models have a secondary combustion chamber);
• ash pan;
• air passages;
• a pipe for venting gases into the secondary chamber;
• cast iron grate;
• water jacket (for stoves with a water circuit).

Unlike a traditional stove, air is supplied into the firebox of a stove-fireplace not from below, but from above. The firebox has a regulation system that artificially limits the air supply. As a result, the wood in the stove does not burn, but smolders. When smoldering, firewood releases pyrolysis gases, which enter the secondary combustion chamber, where they are burned, thereby significantly increasing the efficiency of the stove.

Thus, the main advantage of a fireplace stove over other heating devices is long time work between stacks of firewood, on average, depending on the characteristics of the model, from 6 to 12 hours.

Reviews

Users of long-burning stoves and fireplaces first of all, of course, note the efficiency of operation - economical fuel consumption and long-term temperature maintenance. The disadvantages include the long transition to the long-burning mode, that is, the impossibility of quickly heating the room.

Also, when choosing models with a secondary chamber, it should be taken into account that when pyrolysis gases are removed, excessive condensation occurs. Therefore, the chimney should be located with a minimum number of transition sections.

Heating devices from the product line of modern manufacturers differ in their design and functional features. How to choose a fireplace for a country house so that it meets all your wishes? This question interests homeowners who are engaged in home improvement.

6 steps to make the right decision when choosing a fireplace

Stoves that can be installed in a country home vary in size, shape, design style, and materials of manufacture. But a country heating device serves one purpose - high-quality heating. The choice of device depends on many factors that should be taken into account when purchasing. There are 6 steps to finding the perfect fireplace, which guide rational owners.

Step 1 - choosing a specific type

When choosing a fireplace for your home, first of all, you need to determine your needs and capabilities. There is a wide variety of heating designs, differing in their features and purpose. The following types of products are available to users:

• Classic ones that run on solid fuel. The device is heated with wood and coal. The body of the structure is made of fireproof materials - stone, brick, steel or cast iron. Traditional models are available with a closed, semi-open or open firebox. The first type maintains heat well, and the last two are responsible for interior aesthetics.
• Decorative biofireplaces are an elegant design with an open firebox. The device is characterized by its functionality on liquid fuel – bioethanol, providing beautiful effect"live" fire. Therefore, they are used to decorate the space. Heating equipment does not require the construction of a chimney. During operation, no soot or smoke is emitted.
• Gas-powered appliances are designed for houses with autonomous heating. The systems are used for both decoration and heating.
• Electric fireplaces come in a wide variety of shapes with different decorative designs. You can choose a model that simulates the smoldering of coals, the burning and crackling of firewood. Installation of a smoke exhaust duct is not required for operation. The main advantage is the ability to function in three modes: idle, room heating, home heating.
• A fireplace stove is an excellent option for heating and cooking at the dacha in winter. It can easily fit into the interior features of a sauna or bathhouse and will allow you to enjoy a cozy homely atmosphere. There are two types of functionality - solid fuel and gas. Manufacturers perform it in in various forms using heat-resistant glass, ceramic finishes, natural stone, forged elements and other “delights”.

Separately, it is necessary to say about two types of heating equipment: an air stove-fireplace and a device with a water circuit.

Air oven

The model is in demand due to its low cost, effective but simple design, excellent functionality, savings in operation and the ability to quickly warm up large rooms.

The device includes:

• hole for connecting the chimney pipe;
• hob;
• air supply system;
• convective pipe system;
• ash pan that regulates combustion;
• compartment that maintains a given temperature regime.

Air configuration options are used for heating rooms of simple structure, without partitions.

Fireplace with water circuit

The heating installation is designed to heat rooms of various sizes and layouts. To provide isolated rooms with heat in common system radiator is built in. The efficiency of water models reaches 80%, which makes it ideal for creating autonomous heating for a country house.

Electrical device

The design not only creates the effect of a real, high-quality fireplace. The unit operates in 3 modes. During idle operation, the aesthetic effect of comfort is maintained, heating at minimum power will maintain a comfortable temperature regime, and the heating option is responsible for uniform heating of the rooms. Electric fireplaces have many advantages:

• installed in a small private house or a large country cottage;
• there is no need to contact specialized authorities to obtain permission for redevelopment;
• works from the network, so it does not emit carbon monoxide, cleaning, arrangement of chimney ducts;
• equipped with a thermostat that maintains the temperature throughout the day.

Electric models are capable of efficiently heating a room of 20 square meters.

Step 2 – choosing a location

You should choose a fireplace for your dacha, taking into account its location in the living room and size parameters. All types of heating stoves are divided into open, semi-open and closed types. The heating system is mounted in several options:

1. Built-in fireplace stoves. Open-type models, mounted in a wall niche, do not take up space, look elegant, and are suitable for small country houses. The design is decorated depending on style solution interior of the room.
2. Free-standing heating modifications. Closed or “island” options are placed in the middle of the living room. They are intended for large country estates, where, by building a relaxation area around, laying out ottomans and soft blankets, you can enjoy comfort and warmth.
3. Wall-mounted fireplaces are installed against a wall with a fire-resistant surface. It is recommended to purchase devices of a semi-open type with an attached load-bearing wall chimney.
4. Corner variations are considered beautiful and original decorative elements. Placed in the corner of the room, the products will take up minimal space.

Choosing the right place for the fireplace is the key to the convenience and safety of its use. We should not forget that the floor, accessories and decorations must be made of heat-resistant materials.

Step 3 – choosing stove material and finishing

How to choose a fireplace based on the material it is made of? The efficiency of the heating system depends on this. Home stoves are made from the following heat-resistant materials:

• cast iron - devices are characterized by heavy weight and tend to retain heat for a long time;
• steel - the devices are lightweight, and for efficiency they are made of thick steel sheets lined with fireclay;
• brick and natural stone– fits harmoniously into the interior of the room. Stone stoves can retain heat for a long period.

To give the heating structure aesthetics, it is lined with granite, marble, mosaic, fired brickwork, decorated with forged elements or heat-resistant stained glass, treated wood and ceramic tiles. The decoration of the fireplace design creates a unique, unique atmosphere of the element.

Step 4 – Explore Innovative Options

You should choose a stove for your home taking into account its technical characteristics. Heating models of devices are characterized by the following features:

• Modern options, thanks to their thoughtful design, are able to maintain heat for a long time. High efficiency is achieved due to operational efficiency - secondary combustion of the gas contained in the smoke. The design nuances of various modifications ensure maximum heat transfer and reduced soot formation.
• Furnaces equipped with several combustion modes. Economy mode ensures that the temperature in the house is maintained with just one load of fuel. The maximum heating mode allows you to heat the room to the required temperature in a matter of minutes.
• Most devices are equipped with heat-resistant glass and removable ash pans, which ensures quick cleaning and safety.
• Fireplace stoves that heat rooms without partitions.

Modern engineering solutions allow you to heat large areas with complex structure configurations. Among them are devices that support long-term combustion of fuel.

Characteristics of fireplaces with long burning mode

The units are distinguished by high efficiency achieved due to their design. They improve heat transfer of heating communications, reduce the formation of plaque and soot in chimney ducts. Modern manufacturers present fireplace stoves for installation in a country house, private or country house. Ease of use is achieved by several combustion modes for effective heat retention.

Long-burning fireplace stoves:

• have a door made of heat-resistant glass with options for self-removal of ash, and are equipped with removable ash pans;
• distribute as much as possible warm air by room;
• do not require additional construction measures - arrangement of the foundation or construction of partitions.

Such a heating structure can be easily installed by one person.
When choosing a fireplace for your dacha, you should pay attention to the additional functionality of the device. Some of them are equipped with a hob and an oven, which allows you not only to heat your home, but also to prepare food.

Step 5 - technical parameters

How to choose a stove based on technical specifications? This important stage when choosing which will depend optimal performance heating equipment.

Furnace power

This fundamental indicator will help shape the final choice. It is prescribed in the operating instructions. For example, the technical book of the device indicates a power of 6 kW. We multiply this figure by the area of ​​the room - 20 m², we get 80 m³ of heated space in the room.

Thermal insulation of the house

If the house is not insulated enough, the fireplace used for heating must be selected with high power to ensure a comfortable temperature.

Equipment cladding

The lining of the heating unit determines the quality of its functionality. If the fireplace is made of cast iron, then it releases heat 1.5 times faster than metal structures and warms up 70% more. It is recommended to install cast iron stoves in a country house to quickly heat rooms. To preserve and accumulate heat when the device is turned off, heating stoves treated with soap chloride.
Fireplaces lined with tiles have the ability to accumulate heat. They allow you to heat all rooms evenly without drying out the air. Tiled structures are used to prevent the development of colds.

Step 6 - choosing the optimal firebox

The reliability, safety and service life of the heating structure depend on the choice of firebox. The element is the main part that produces heat. The combustion chamber is made of heat-resistant cast iron, steel, brick or ceramics.

Combustion chamber power

When choosing a firebox, you should pay attention to its power. For example, 1 kW is capable of heating rooms with an area of ​​15 m³ in regions with cold climates. In temperate climate zones, uniform heating is carried out over 20 m³ and even 30 m³.

Features of the combustion chamber

The functionality of the heating device determines the working life of the firebox. The enterprises produce heating units with fireboxes with a power of 7-30 kW, equipped with regulators. There are three types of fireplace insert:

1. Open. Its efficiency does not exceed 15-30%. The indicator is sufficient for high-quality heating small house.
2. Closed. Efficiency increases to 85%. The air is heated inside the device, allowing it to maintain heat in large rooms for a long time.
3. Half open. It has an average efficiency of 50-60% and runs only on high-quality solid fuel.

For safe operation, it is better to choose models with doors for the fryer.

Wall thickness

An important parameter of the combustion chamber is the wall thickness. It should be 0.8 - 1 cm. It is recommended that the fireplace insert be monolithic, which will prevent depressurization during fuel combustion. The thickness of the housing must be subject to home thermal insulation. But, if the building is not insulated enough, even a powerful heating device will not warm the room.

To choose a high-quality fireplace for your dacha, you should focus on your needs, the possibility of installing heating equipment in the house and its functionality. If the product is selected according to all the rules, you are guaranteed to enjoy the comfort of home and the sight of a peaceful flame.

Long burning furnaces in recent years are gaining more and more popularity. The operating principle of these devices is based on separate combustion of fuel and released gases in different chambers. Thanks to this constructive solution wood or other material burns more slowly than in a conventional stove, using less oxygen and producing more heat. Such heating devices, which are also called pyrolysis or gas generator furnaces, are successfully used in private homes, cottages, baths and saunas, industrial and utility premises.

How to choose a long-burning stove

Long-burning heating devices are supported by their undoubted advantages - economy, environmental friendliness, compactness, ease of operation, high efficiency (up to 70-85%), long term services, availability.

Power

The main criterion when choosing a heating device with a long combustion cycle using solid (wood) fuel is its power. It must correspond to the volume of the heated room. There is no point in installing a high-power stove in a small room, since some of the heating material will burn irrationally. In addition, a large device will take up a lot of space, and the room temperature will be too high. On the contrary, a low-power oven in large rooms will work at the limit of its capabilities, which will quickly disable it.

Fuel

When choosing, you should decide on the type of fuel that is supposed to be used - firewood, pellets, coal, fuel briquettes, etc. You should know that the moisture content of wood fuel is of great importance, since water vapor diluting the gases interferes with combustion, reduces the power of the device and promotes the formation of condensation. In some cases, excessive moisture in the burned material can lead to spontaneous extinguishing of the furnace. Firewood for long-burning fireboxes, for example, should have a moisture content no higher than 20-35%.

Remember, the use of fuel not specified in the operating instructions and the use of heating material that does not correspond to the size and design of the firebox is strictly prohibited!

Material

The metal or alloy from which the long-burning furnace is made also refers to important criteria choice. The thicker the material of the device body, the slower the device cools and the longer its service life. Some models of long-burning stoves made of cast iron last up to 50 years (!) and, moreover, are not subject to corrosion.

Elements of many modern stoves - firebox, hob, decoration, door - are created from different materials(cast iron, vermiculite, steel, stainless steel, heat-resistant glass, etc.), which allows you to increase service life, improve design, improve ease of use and maintain appearance for a long time.

Design

Appearance heating device often plays no less important role than other factors. A stove for a living space should have a modern design and fit harmoniously into the interior. There are many imported models on the market, from which you can choose a ready-made stove for any home. Canadian, German, Polish, French long-burning stoves and fireboxes made in Serbia are very popular. Russian stoves with a long combustion cycle are also presented in an equally extensive range.

Homemade products

For a service or utility room (greenhouse, garage, warehouse), you can make it yourself or order it from craftsmen a long-burning heating device from a gas cylinder such as Slobozhanka, Bubafonya, etc. Sometimes for handicraft Similar devices use metal barrels. Although such devices are not distinguished by their refined and original design, but they allow us to provide efficient heating With minimum cost funds for production.

Functionality

In some cases, additional features play a role decisive role when choosing a heating device. This may be the presence of a hob, the possibility of using a heat exchanger, thermal accumulator, the presence of a high-quality automation system, etc.

Features of operation

All long-burning stoves are supplied with instructions, but they often do not mention some nuances that must be taken into account:

• It is necessary to provide free space around the stove and protection from fire;
• for easy maintenance (cleaning), the chimney should, if possible, have a collapsible design;
• pipes must be installed in the direction of gas movement;
• due to low draft, the chimney should not have a curved shape;
• During operation, condensation may form in the chimney.

It should also be taken into account that liquid fuel cannot be used in long-burning stoves; some models are quite difficult to set up and require constant supervision.

Popular stove models on the market

There are many varieties of long-burning solid fuel heating systems, from which you can choose a device for almost any room, regardless of its purpose, volume and method of heating (water or air).

What is a fireplace stove?

This is a long-burning heating device. Gives off a lot of heat - it distinguishing feature and advantage. Manufacturers offer products from different materials:

• Wood (external finishing of the product only);
• cast iron (steel, iron).

The long-burning stove is economical, which is achieved by the presence of a smoldering mode.

A large selection of fireplace stoves for the home is presented in the Fornax store. However, before purchasing a product, read the ratings of fireplace stoves. This will allow you to get acquainted with the functionality and benefits from the consumer.

Variations of fireplace stoves for the home

The operating principle is different from traditional stoves previously used to heat homes. At the first stage, the fuel burns quickly, warming the room. On the second, it smolders, releasing heat into the house.

On sale large selection models:

1. Angular. Mounted along the common wall of the kitchen and living room, the fireplace is located in the living room at an angle of 45 °C, which is why they are considered corner fireplaces.
2. Frontal. Installed along the front wall. Suitable for a home without clear boundaries of rooms. They look stylish in studio kitchens, living rooms combined with dining rooms.
3. "Channel". The stove is mounted in the wall, the fireplace is mounted on the console.

Wood burning

Used for small and spacious rooms, the range is impressive! Pay attention to the long-burning fireplace that operates on wood. With its help, you can quickly heat your home and decorate it aesthetically.

Since there are almost no combustion products left, the design does not provide an ash pit. But there is a hole to supply the oven with air. It is fueled with firewood, it is important that it is of good quality.

Brick

A distinctive feature of the fireplace is its massive size. You won’t be able to install it yourself if you are not a professional in the construction of stone and brick heating devices. The work should be entrusted to specialists. When choosing this option, keep in mind that it is mounted along large room on fundamental basis. The design of the stove and fireplace is a monoblock. You can cook food on it. Often installed so that the stove (if provided) is in the kitchen.

Many people, hearing the phrase “Fireplace stove”, wonder – how does this heating device differ from ordinary ones? In this article we will analyze the mechanism of operation, their types and several popular models.

Features of a long-burning stove-fireplace

The main features include the following:

1. Lack of ash pan. In conventional stoves, the ash pan produces air from below, which causes rapid combustion of the wood. In fireplace stoves it is absent, and the air supply is regulated and supplied from above - this ensures gradual combustion of wood in the design, starting from the top layer.
2. Adjustable air supply to save wood. The heated apparatus is designed in this way - in addition to standard spare parts, the design uses separate system air supply and exhaust. This explains the cost-effectiveness of the firewood installation - due to the adjustable supply of air as a second fuel, the firewood burns out more slowly and produces more heat. By the way, this explains the first point.
3. Depending on the model, you can use firewood, peat, coal, liquid fuel as fuel. When choosing, you should rely on the availability of these materials for the stove.
4. Due to the design, the efficiency of the burned fuel in terms of heat transfer to the surrounding space is high compared to conventional stoves - from 80% to 95%, depending on the model.
5. Typically, the burning time of one stack of wood is from 8 to 12 hours.
6. When installing, it is not necessary to strictly adjust the heating device to the structure of the house - almost any place in your home is suitable for installation.
7. Some models have a water circuit that helps heat the house.

Operating principle

It's no secret that smoldering firewood produces more heat. This is the principle of long-burning fireplace stoves - we have already mentioned the supply of air in controlled portions.

But the fact that the supply is made from above is not only so that the firewood burns in the top layer. The operating principle of fireplace stoves can be described as follows if there is a second combustion chamber.

During the smoldering process of firewood, gas is released, in other words pyrolysis gas. This is achieved by a lack of oxygen and a closed furnace.

Next comes the most interesting thing - when moving to the second chamber and upon contact with air and in connection high temperature this gas ignites, giving extra heat. Hence the second name for furnaces of similar action - pyrolysis or gas generators.

Types of stoves

As already mentioned, models differ in the fuel used - wood, peat, gas, liquid fuel or pellets. But in terms of materials used to make boilers, they differ greatly:

Cast iron type

This type of stove is made entirely of cast iron, giving the following properties to the heating apparatus:

• Durability compared to other devices.
• Enough high reliability designs.
• Prolonged cooling after burning wood also provides warmth for some time.
• Increased efficiency of heat transfer and operation.

But there are also specific disadvantages:

• The price of this equipment is quite high.
• Heavy weight, which requires strengthening the foundation for the fireplace stove.

Cast iron models, despite their disadvantages, are in much greater demand.

Metal type

This model is made of various metals. They have undoubted advantages over cast iron:

• Lower price.
• Lower weight than “multi-ton” cast iron ones.

But there is one unpleasant flaw - fragility. These models serve “faithfully” for an order of magnitude shorter period than cast iron ones. Additionally, due to the use of metal, these ovens are susceptible to corrosion.

Combined type

This type of stove differs from others in the use of cast iron and metal for manufacturing.

The result is a mixture of cast iron and metal stoves:

• Compared to metal ones, reliability and durability are increased. Although it falls short of the usual cast iron type, it makes up for it with other advantages.
• Compared to cast iron types, due to the combination, the cost of the models and average weight stoves - almost never needed additional strengthening of the foundation.

The only negative is that its characteristics fall short of a full-fledged cast iron type, but it is compensated by its lower weight and accessibility.

Brick type

This model is assembled from brick and exclusively on site. The advantages include the following:

• Lack of fear of temperature changes.
• Minimum amount of wood fuel used.

But compared to other stoves, the disadvantages of the brick type are significant:

• To the cost of materials for assembling the furnace, the cost of carrying out assembly work masters.
• The operating efficiency is lower - about 60-70%.
• Site equipment and foundation strengthening are required.
• Unsafe - if the stove-fireplace is assembled incorrectly, there is a danger of fire or the release of carbon monoxide into the room (which can lead to poisoning, for example during sleep)

Regardless of the material used, various additional functions can be implemented in fireplace stoves:

1. Heat-resistant glass frame for direct observation of combustion.
2. Water circuit to increase the heat generated. Additionally, you can use this water for drinking or for hygiene procedures.
3. Oven or stovetop for cooking.

And all sorts of additional functions.

The choice of heating device should be approached responsibly and thoughtfully. When choosing, you should focus on the following points:

Power

When choosing a fireplace stove, you should not ignore the power. Although strict advice cannot be given, one point must be taken into account - on average, 1 kW of power is consumed for every 10 square meters of a house.

But this is an average number - it does not take into account all kinds of partitions and the structure of the house. It is worth adding 20-30% of the power to the furnace selected for power for a kind of reserve.

Material

It has already been said that the material for the manufacture of the heating apparatus plays an important role.

The choice of stove should be made based on your financial capabilities:

• If possible, it is advisable not to skimp on the cast iron type - in terms of its efficiency, it surpasses all other types, although it is expensive to strengthen the foundation for it.
• Metal ones are more suitable for heating one or another part of the house than for trying to heat the entire house.
• The combined type, as already mentioned, combines the properties of both cast iron and metal stoves. A cheaper option for a heating device.

Fuel used

When choosing, you should pay attention to the type of fuel used - a wood-burning stove is not intended for liquid types fuel, unless of course it is combined:

1. Power is directly proportional to weight. If the mass is small, but the information card/seller assures about the incredible power of the sowing unit, they are trying to mislead the potential buyer.
2. When choosing, you should pay attention to small details - where the ash pan is located (on a long-burning apparatus it should be on top), is the structure airtight, what type of fuel is used, additional functions.
3. It is advisable to take care of the housekeeping arrangements in advance and, if you choose cast iron stove, strengthening the foundation.
