Fireplace stove with fireplace: design features and
If the gas pipeline is not connected to your suburban area, then you should take care of an alternative method of heating the building located on it in the winter period. In this case, the most traditional and still losing its popularity method is stove heating. In this article, we will look at options such as heating wood-burning stoves, allowing you to expand the functions of classic stoves and become a kind of "highlight" of your home.
General provisions
Even in the case when there is no gas supply in the building, there are various options for arranging the heating system: a household gas heating boiler with gas cylinders, an electric converter, an infrared lamp and others. But, as we noted above, the owners often prefer the use of firewood. Why? Let's take a look at the advantages of fireplaces:
Merits
- Aesthetics. Fireplaces perfectly complement the design of the interior.
- The use of environmentally friendly fuels, for example, such as firewood and coal.
- High performance. Due to this, the cost of operating the described equipment is quite economical.
- Compactness. Even brick options can be placed quite comfortably, for example, into two rooms, and metal, especially corner ones, generally occupy a minimum of useful space.
- Wide range of cladding. This allows you to enter the stove with a fireplace in any, even the most unusual interior.
disadvantages
Immediately you should consider the presence of some negative sides:
- Uneven distribution of heat in the room. The main heat accumulates under the ceiling, which is not ideal for residents.
Tip: in order to increase the rationality of heating, it is recommended to connect the stove to the heating radiator system with heat carrier. So you distribute the heating around the perimeter of the entire building.
- Fast cooling. The design warmed up in the evening does not guarantee an acceptable temperature in the house in the morning.

| Efficiency | The greater the value of efficiency, the more economical fuel consumption. Choose so that its value is not less than 60%. |
| Facing material | Cladding is possible as cast-iron stoves, and brick, although in the second case it is carried out less frequently. It is very important to understand that it affects not only the appearance of the structure, but also its heat capacity. So finishing of ceramic or stone will warm up longer, but it will also keep the heat warm even after the furnace stops working. |
| Section of exhaust pipe | The wrong choice of this parameter can cost the health and even the life of the tenants, since, if the diameter of the chimney is insufficient, the poisonous products of combustion will go to the living room. The instruction assumes the following rule: 8 cm is needed for 1 kW of power2 section. |
Tip: do not save on the power of the furnace equipment, as this will lead to its overheating and premature failure.
Also it should be taken into account that in case of purchase of cast-iron oven equipment, be sure to specify which type of fuel is preferable for it. Most often it can be firewood, coal or peat briquettes.
