A lot of time has passed since humanity began to use the furnace in order to cook food and warm up housing. Currently, the furnaces used by people resemble simple devices for heating by burning different types of fuel. There are various furnaces. Among them you can highlight furnaces for cooking and heating furnaces. Basically, these two functions are usually inherent in one furnace, using which you can cook food and warm up housing. Recently, it has been possible to heat your own house using central heating, electric, gas and other types of heating. But if some failure suddenly occurs, then they all cannot work. Therefore, during the construction of the house, it is necessary to build an ordinary brick furnace, which will work on solid fuel.
The main function of the furnace is heat conservation
The most popular among people is the Russian stove. Such a stove occupies a central place in the house and heats the whole house. This type of furnace is quite large. Firewood is used for its heating. The Russian stove heats up for a long time, but also cools down for a long time. In the Russian outback, such a stove is built immediately with a lounger, therefore it is used as a sleeping place. This type of stove is usually whitish and decorate with colorful patterns. To create such a stove, it is best to invite an experienced master, since it is difficult to create a properly functioning oven is quite difficult. Fireplane brick is used for the furnace department. The hob is a cast -iron surface with two circles of different diameters. In order to adjust the traction, a metal valve is used in the chimney. Since the valve is pushed back when the stove is trapped, and when the fuel burns out, it is gradually closed. Such a stove has doors to remove ash and load fuel.
We build a stove
The stove is usually placed so that the firebox is in the corridor, and the rest of the surface in the room. During the construction of the stove, you need to calculate its dimensions to get a stove with excellent heat transfer. Do not forget about fire safety rules. It is also necessary to take into account the distance between the combustible structures and the chimney. When choosing the design of the furnace, it is necessary to think over the location of the burning surface. As soon as the stove is built, you should not immediately start using it. You need to wait until it dries. Since the construction uses raw clay, which is cracked under the influence of high temperatures. When drying such a stove, two methods are used: forced and natural. Using the natural method allows you to dry the furnace, opening all doors and valves, within two weeks. And the forced method occurs by heating “into the half of strength”.
