Meta-Bel is an enterprise that was founded in 1998 as a result of the merger of four companies specializing in the manufacture of household equipment. The main direction of the company is the production of fireplace stoves, which are based on steel. Ceramic tiles are used as a finish, which perfectly smooths dark shades.
Description
The Angara fireplace stove is notable for its low cost, as well as its rather good quality. Today, the company produces Meta heating equipment, which is represented by the Angara line. On sale you can find convection heating units, the power of which varies from 9 to 12 kW. In the manufacturing process, 5 mm steel sheets are used, and the outer casing is coated with black heat-resistant enamel in the form of a powder.
The main difference is a rather voluminous door, which is made of heat-resistant glass ceramics. This feature allows customers to enjoy the flame from any distance. "Angara" - a furnace, the base unit of which is made of sheets of steel, in the gap between them the air moves and heats up. Air masses flow through convection openings located at the top of the structure. Such a solution allows the room to warm up in a short time on one tab of firewood.
“Angara” is a stove that is very similar in appearance to the Yenisei heating appliances of the same company in terms of external characteristics, but there are still differences. They are expressed in side glazed windows and an interesting design - parts of the side surface are tiled with peach tones. The decoration uses black color, which is softened by chopped lines. An exception are inserts that do not affect the cost. The internal space of the firebox is finished with fireclay tiles , a grate of cast iron is installed there. Under the drawer and firebox there is an open chamber for firewood. About 4 kg of fuel can be laid at a time, and the burning time will be about 7 hours if the gates are closed.
"Angara" - a furnace, characterized by maintainability, because chamotte inserts can be replaced if necessary. The described series is suitable for heating cottages, residential buildings, as well as utility rooms, the area of which does not exceed 120 m 2 .
Characteristics of models of furnaces of the Angara series

Such an Angara fireplace is a stove that does not require the installation of a foundation, but as briquettes or firewood can act as fuel. The manufacturer does not recommend laying coal, because when it is burned, as for its derivatives, heat is generated in large quantities. And such equipment is not designed for high temperatures. The power of the flame can be adjusted by blowing with slide gate valves.
Consumer Reviews
According to users, the ovens of the Angara series are distinguished by excellent quality characteristics and have an acceptable cost. For at least several years of operation, such designs function flawlessly. However, from other buyers you can hear that the diameter of the chimney is a bit big for a direct-flow outlet, which is why the heat literally “flies away”. The solution may be to install a damper on the pipe, then the intensity of combustion can be adjusted.

Customer reviews
According to consumers, the declared capacity corresponds to the real parameters. If you fully open the blower and load the furnace with fuel, then the radiators will warm up in half an hour. Consumers argue that for further effective work it will only be necessary to establish a regime of slow smoldering, then the temperature in the house will be maintained. Buyers emphasize that fuel consumption is quite large, but the minus lies in another - the glass-ceramic door smokes very quickly.
