In the courtyard is the 21st century, but the brick stove is still an actual attribute of a country house. Most of all, it is in demand where there are no other sources of heating (for example, gas), or there are certain problems with electricity. In such cases, wood-burning stoves are simply indispensable for heating a home.
A modern stove can be used not only for heating a room or cooking, but also for generating electricity. Materials that serve as the basis can be steel and cast iron coated with special decorative compounds, which will protect the metal from corrosion. Brick oven can be made using decorative elements, which will decorate the interior and make it more stylish. This option is appropriate not only in the country or in a country house, but also in an elite mansion.
A brick oven can be of several types, depending on the features of the design and purpose.
Heating and heating-cooking
Such an oven is capable of heating large areas, for example, 100 square meters. A large batch of firewood is loaded into the fuel chamber, which allows for a sufficiently long burning. Most wood stoves are designed for 6-8 hours of burning without interruption. This process does not require human intervention and takes place with the door closed.
The brick fireplace stove is a type of heating. A closed firebox in such designs provides not only long burning, but also high efficiency indicators. Fireplace stoves can heat rooms with an area of 90 square meters. They can serve as an independent or additional heating device.
A modern brick stove for the house allows not only to be saved from the cold, but also to provide the home with a certain amount of electric energy. Using special elements, thermal energy is converted into another form - electrical.
A conventional brick oven, built according to all the canons, allows you to perfectly retain heat for a very long time. One or two furnaces per day is enough for her to keep warmth and comfort in the house. Such a design is capable of serving more than 30 years.
The location of the furnace should be selected depending on its purpose. It is better to place the heating in the middle, which will effectively provide heat to the entire room. If the stove is adjacent to the street wall with one or two sides, then its efficiency is significantly reduced. The placement of the heating and cooking option suggests the same approach, while the firebox is placed in the kitchen. So, you can cook on it and heat the room. The fireplace stove should be placed with a fireplace in the living room, and the main firebox should be brought to the kitchen, if it is intended to be used for cooking. You can arrange it in another way.
There is also a brick oven with a water circuit. Its advantage over other options is that it heats the water, which can be used in the heating system. This option has a high efficiency in comparison with a traditional oven.
