Brick wood stoves for dachas and houses are gaining popularity again. Convenience of their use, ecological compatibility, excellent heat transfer characteristics made them in modern conditions a welcome addition to the heating system in country houses. And sometimes such furnaces exist as independent heating systems.
Advantages and disadvantages of brick furnaces
A brick oven performs heating of the room by releasing heat from hot bricks into the air. However, here lies both the main advantage and the lack of a brick kiln. Such furnaces require quite a bit of time for the blast furnace (2-3 hours), but they give up the accumulated heat for a long time (12-20 hours). But the heat transfer does not begin immediately: first, the bricks should warm up, of which the stove is made up. Thus, it is advisable to build large brick kilns in suburban houses, where permanent residence of owners is assumed. If you want to place a stove in a holiday home, we recommend stopping at small brick stoves that will be heated faster and give heat. If the holiday home is large enough, then it is worth considering the system of heating pipes or building another furnace in another part of the building.
The advantage of a brick oven for a dacha is also called its multifunctionality. Depending on the type, such stoves are supplied with an oven, hob, resting place or source of open fire. If you decide to hire a qualified worker to build an oven, you should immediately expect that such work is not expensive: from 100,000 rubles, but with due diligence the brick oven can be folded and independently, since the layout of its laying is generally accessible and simple.
Types of brick kilns
Small and large brick kilns for cottages are divided according to various signs: shape, function, exterior finish. Depending on the shape of the ovens: square, rectangular, angular, round, T-like. The form is chosen taking into account where the furnace will be located and how many adjacent rooms it will have to heat. This is very important to have in mind when choosing a place for a stove in the house. So, for example, a stove located near the entrance may not sufficiently warm up the distant rooms. It is best to have such a stove closer to the center of the house, so that it grasps the maximum number of living quarters.
By function, the brick stoves are divided into: intended only for heating ("Dutch"), designed for heating and cooking ("Russian" stove); cooking ovens (kitchen hearth, outdoor barbecue), special ovens (oven for a bath, oven for a garage ), ovens with an open firebox ( fireplaces ).
Heating houses or heating-cooking stoves are usually built in dachas. If, in addition to heat, you also want to receive aesthetic satisfaction from contemplating an open flame, then you should think about the construction of a brick fireplace stove.
If we consider the exterior finish, then we can distinguish brick stoves without finishing, that is, where the brick is not closed from the outside, ovens, finished with special tiles or tiles, plastered, covered with a metal case.
When you decide to build a brick oven in your house, it is worth bearing in mind several conditions. Convenient location - the oven should heat the house as evenly as possible, the firebox is usually taken out to the corridor or to the kitchen. It should be remembered that after the construction of the furnace it will be impossible to move to another place without completely breaking it. Another important condition - the location of the chimney. When designing it, you should take into account the general plan of the house, because you can accidentally get into the beam on the ceiling or the rafters on the roof.
