When designing your own country house, first of all you should think about its heating, as well as about the hearth on which the food will be prepared. In modern apartments, this issue is solved by connecting urban communications, but in villages where they are not, they usually use a stove or fireplace.
The device of the fireplace and the principle of its action allow warming up large rooms in a short period of time. It can also be used for cooking kebabs or dishes over an open fire. However, it is simply impossible to use it fully for cooking, so they often combine a fireplace with a stove and a wood-burning stove.
This design has a common firebox and hood. It is usually located in the middle of the house, dividing it into two conventional parts. One is designed for relaxation and has a fireplace on this side, the second is used as a kitchen and contains a stove. However, such a device is quite complex, but if necessary, you can find such a thing as the arrangement of the fireplace stove.
It is a hand-drawn masonry plan of each row. At the same time, both ordinary bricks and refractory ones are marked on it, and the dimensions are not indicated. This allows you to manually lay out a fireplace or stove, even a novice mason. However, a few rules should be followed.
First of all, you must strictly adhere to the plan, which provides for the ordering of the fireplace. The fact is that stove and fireplace structures require certain conditions for their proper operation. Their violation can lead to smoke or fire, and the slightest deviation from the order will give just such an effect.
Also, do not make changes on your own, adjusting the dimensions of the future device. If the order of the fireplace or stove is intended for installation on two square meters, then it should not be done more or less. It is especially not worth changing the sizes in proportions or scale.
Particular attention should be paid to the masonry process itself. It should be carried out taking into account all technological processes, from the preparation of refractory clay to the cutting of joints. It should be borne in mind that the order of the fireplace, due to its specificity, is designed for seams of a slightly larger size than in ordinary masonry.
Recently, through the Internet, you can buy ready-made fireplace and stove furnaces. They are actually assembled devices. For them, the order of the fireplace or stove is not required, although some craftsmen use it to sew up the firebox and chimney, giving them the appropriate look. Such a masonry requires special care, since in fact it is a cladding.
Thus, almost anyone can make a fireplace or stove on their own, but taking into account the fact that he will have at least primary skills of masonry and at the same time have a good order. Not only the appearance of the final product, but also its functionality will depend on the quality and accuracy of the sketch, so you need to choose it carefully, taking into account all the needs.
