Wood-burning cast-iron stove for home heating. Cast iron stove for home heating: types, principle of operation, advantages and disadvantages

Stove fireplace Meta Moscow 9

Quite a budget and high-quality stove from a Russian manufacturer. The chimney was taken immediately, so as not to be mistaken later with the parameters, the managers helped to pick up full set equipment, so it's easier than looking for yourself later. There are no serious complaints, the autumn / winter worked - everything is regular, nothing fell off, did not crack, the paint is in place. It is warm in the dacha, it warms up quickly after kindling, but our dacha is small. We leave it for the night - until everything smolders, until the stove cools down - there is enough heat until the morning, and the room has already been well heated during the day. They didn’t expect anything supernatural for such a price - a good working oven without unnecessary frills. Visually, nothing special, suitable for giving.

They immediately took a complete set (oven + chimney with all pipes). Installed quickly. The design is beautiful, modern, decorative inserts on the sides, it looks much better in the interior than in the pictures.
The kindling is fast, it heats up quickly too. Using for the second year winter time at a temperature of minus 15 degrees, the stove completely warms up a house of 100 square meters. m. for one and a half to two hours to 20 degrees. The ash pan is enough for about 3 kindling, so you need to clean it. The handle on the door is very hot, I had to put on a mitten so as not to get burned.
But the most important advantage of this stove is the presence of a stove! You can also heat water and cook something to eat. In fact, it replaces the usual gas stove It has become much more pleasant and convenient to go to the country house in winter. Both heat and hot tea are always at hand, and watching the fire in the evenings is a great pleasure.

When choosing a stove, we were looking for an inexpensive and at the same time high-quality option. Foreign models did not fit into the budget, so they settled on Russian manufacturer Moreover, the discount on this model was not bad. In general, after six months of use, only positive impressions remained.
Visually, this stove is a well-tuned “potbelly stove”, but in the interior it looks beautiful and even expensive. It is convenient to use, the only negative is that the lock wedges a little when heated - the door does not close the first time. The glass is not particularly smoked; in the strong fire mode, it cleans itself. The thermal power is 9 kW, enough for a summer cottage with an area of ​​​​70 squares. The case warms up more slowly than glass.

For the price, this is a great oven. Looks good, beautiful. A big plus is that it takes up little space. It has been in operation for a year already - the glasses are all in place, they have not cracked, they are not smoked, so it is still pleasant to watch the flame through the glass.
In winter, they used it every weekend - there were no problems, everyone is happy. With a not very strong minus, the house warms up quickly (room area is approximately 90m2), in 40-50 minutes. The draft is manually adjustable, you can change the strength of the flame and the duration of burning. It retains heat for a long time, even after the firewood has completely burned out, the case continues to heat the surrounding air.
The main disadvantage is that the door is too high, it is almost on the same level with the exhaust hole. If the door is opened, some of the smoke begins to go into the room. But in principle, we have already adapted, so this has little effect on convenience.

I purchased this stove in 2017 for heating a summer house, where we come for the weekend in winter. In general, very satisfied. The furnace does not require an additional foundation, it was assembled in an hour. It does its job of keeping the building warm. Since our house is small, the resource is enough. As for the consumption of firewood, it is within reason, it turns out quite economically.
The oven has a rather large door, good review It's a pleasure to watch the flames. Glass is practically not smoked (the main thing is not to lean the firewood end against the glass). The stove is lined with red majolica, looks quite colorful and stylish. Haven't found any cons yet.

We bought a stove a couple of years ago for our guest country house. It turned out to be easy to install, perfectly fit into our interior. Worked up to expectations. A rather spacious hall in our house is heated in half an hour, and it is also warm in the neighboring rooms. Can be used in mode long burning. One bookmark of firewood is enough for more than 10 hours. If you lay firewood in the evening, then you don’t have to worry about fuel at night - it will still be warm in the morning.
The package contains everything you need, Nordica's proprietary functionality. Pleased with various pleasant little things, for example, that the glass remains clean for a long time. In general, and beautiful, and reliable, and practical. We are 100% satisfied with the quality of the stove.

Cast iron stoves for a long-burning house are one of the best options, as they have many advantages over conventional solid fuel heating appliances. Due to their technical characteristics, as well as due to the external design of many models, they are perfect for installation both in a small country house and a large well-kept mansion.

Even if there is a gas supply in the house and the creation of a completely effective system water heating, a cast-iron stove may not be superfluous, as it will help maintain comfortable conditions accommodation during the off-season or during inclement summer days. In addition, the "living heat" from the stove always creates some kind of special comfort.

Manufacturers of long-burning stoves claim, and practice proves that devices with a classic design are not as efficient as their products, since they heat the room only due to the active combustion of fuel in a conventional furnace. When firewood is completely burned out, appliances with a conventional fuel combustion scheme cool down quickly, therefore, in order to maintain the desired temperature in the room, it is necessary to constantly add fuel. When using long-burning stoves, the frequency of loading the stove with firewood is reduced to two, or even once a day.

Many city dwellers spend on their suburban areas not only summer, but most of spring and autumn, when the nights are still or already cold. As a result, there is a problem efficient heating country house. Gas is not supplied to many gardening associations, and heating the building with electricity - quite expensive"Pleasure", so summer residents often opt for solid fuel stoves.

However, not every country house can build a full-fledged brick oven simply because of the lack of free space in the premises. An important reason for the reluctance to build brick ovens is also the troublesome maintenance of them, as well as the lack of funds, since building such a structure is not so cheap. Therefore, cast iron often become the best option, especially since today convenient and compact heating units with excellent characteristics and design solutions are on sale.

It is also important that in spite of relatively small size cast iron stoves, some of them have specifications designed to heat large areas. Therefore, the problem of heating can be solved both for a small and for a rather large country house.

It would be useful to compare cast iron stoves with steel heaters and with combined options. All of them are in no less demand, and such a comparison will help to more correctly determine the choice of the optimal model.

Advantages and disadvantages of metal wood stoves - in comparison

As you know, on sale you can find not only cast iron, but also steel, as well as combined furnaces, that is, made of steel, but with individual parts made of cast iron structures. Therefore, a few words must be said about steel heaters in order to know their advantages and disadvantages, to understand how they differ from each other.

Stainless steel ovens

The features of stainless steel ovens include the following:

• Units made of stainless steel, unlike cast iron, warm up much faster, which allows us to hope for a shorter period of receipt. comfortable temperature in the premises of the house. However, the heat capacity of such devices is small, they poorly retain heat, and after the fuel bookmark burns out, the heating effect is quickly lost. Therefore, manufacturers often provide exterior finish ceramic material. In addition, double walls with an air or other thermal insulation layer are also used. If it does not have such a finish, then often the owners themselves lay it with bricks.
• Long-burning steel stoves are quite economical, as they consume a small amount of fuel.
• Stainless steel products are more resistant to corrosion processes, since, unlike black steel, it does not react with oxygen when heated, which makes its service life longer. However, the welds of such steel furnaces are still subject to oxidation, since the evaporation of alloying additives occurs during welding.
• The disadvantage of aggregates made of this material is their instability to very high temperatures. In case of severe overheating by open fire, deformation of the walls of the combustion chamber is not excluded. To avoid such a reaction of the material, the firebox must have a lining, that is, the firebox is lined with heat-resistant fireclay plates or bricks.

Furnace lining - the key to their increased durability

The most vulnerable point of any furnace is the fuel chamber, in which the walls are exposed to direct exposure to an open flame and the highest possible temperatures. To bring these negative influences to a minimum and achieve a long service life of the device, is carried out, which is described in detail in a separate publication of our portal.

• Compared to cast iron, steel ovens have less complex structure. They are not so massive, which greatly facilitates the process of transportation and installation of the heater.
• Steel is easily processed, so many summer residents make stoves on their own. Fortunately, there are enough drawings for their manufacture on the Internet.
• The service life of a well-made stainless steel furnace is estimated at about 20 years.

Heat Resistant Black Steel Furnaces

Black heat-resistant steel is a more ductile and durable material than cast iron. However, heaters from it still have numerous disadvantages.

The characteristic features of such furnaces made of this material include:

• Products made of black steel have a lower heat transfer. They heat up for a long time and do not retain heat well, so they cool down quickly. In this regard, stoke the stove to maintain indoor desired temperature will have to do it more often.
• Experts talk about the fragility of products made from this material, determining their service life at 5 ÷ 7 years. The fact is that in the structure of low-carbon steel, when heated, the process of its oxidation is activated, which leads to a rather rapid burning of the surfaces. It is possible to extend the service life of the unit by lining the furnace with fireclay bricks or plates.
• This material is also distinguished by the instability of welds to high temperatures and corrosion. With frequent high-amplitude thermal impact (and in a furnace without it - in any way), these processes often lead to the appearance of cracks or ruptures.
• The surfaces of these ovens require additional treatment with compounds that protect them from overheating.
• The only significant advantage is that the price of black steel furnaces is much lower than for stainless steel or cast iron products. In addition, the availability of the material and the ease of processing it in most cases encourage home craftsmen to make home-made stoves from black steel.

Prices for cast iron stoves

Cast iron stoves

In connection with the fact that this article is devoted specifically to cast-iron furnaces, they should be discussed in more detail. Cast iron stove models are considered the most the best choice Therefore, they are in high demand among consumers. However, this material also has its positive and negative features, which should be known in advance.

The following characteristics should be attributed to the advantages of these heating devices:

• Cast iron attracts mainly because it has a pronouncedly high heat capacity. The material, however, does not heat up so quickly, but the walls of the furnace remain heated and actively participate in the process of heating the room for much longer.
• If the power of the cast-iron stove for a specific area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe house is chosen correctly, the heater is able to fully and fairly quickly heat the air in the room.
• A cast-iron heater is economical in fuel consumption, since one bookmark is enough for the stove to give off heat for 6 ÷ 12 hours. In this case, you do not have to wait for the firewood to burn out in order to close the chimney to save heat, as is usually done in brick ovens. Long-burning units are able to keep warm in the house, while there is no risk of reverse draft, that is, smoke in the rooms.
• The efficiency of such a unit is 80 ÷ 82% - this is much more than that of brick or steel furnaces.
• Products made from this material are highly resistant to elevated temperatures, as they have a low coefficient of thermal expansion. Due to this quality, the material is practically not deformed.
• Cast iron does not oxidize from high temperatures, so the walls of the fuel chamber do not burn through.
• Parts for cast iron heaters are made by casting, so they do not have welds, which are always weak points of any other metal furnaces.
• Cast iron is resistant to corrosion, and therefore does not particularly need special protective coatings. Such products are painted with heat-resistant paint or varnish, mainly to give them a more aesthetic appearance.
• Modern cast iron stoves are different exquisite design, which allows them to be used in interiors decorated in various styles. Manufacturers install beautiful doors on their products, decorated with figured molding and heat-resistant glass, which allows the unit to be used as an original fireplace.
• The service life of such furnaces, made of gray cast iron and having a wall thickness of 10 mm, is at least 30 ÷ 35 years, and in practice it can be even more impressive.
• The relatively compact dimensions of cast iron stoves allow them to be installed even in small spaces.

The disadvantages of cast iron heaters include the following features:

• The most important disadvantage of any cast iron products is the lack of ductility and pronounced brittleness, since the material has a high carbon content. Therefore, cast iron does not withstand sudden changes in temperature. From them, as well as from sharp accented blows, for example, during careless transportation of the furnace, it can crack. And at the same time, it will be impossible to restore the cast-iron part, for example, by welding.
• The cast iron stove has a pronounced massiveness. The weight of even not too large devices can be 180÷200 kg, which complicates their transportation and installation. For the installation of such a unit, it is very often necessary to equip a reliable solid foundation, sometimes even resorting to a small pour.
• If the stove will be operated not only in the relatively warm months of the year, but also in winter, the chimney will have to be insulated. This must be done so that there are no sudden temperature changes for heated gases, as a result of which condensate will form on the pipe walls, which reduces draft in the furnace. This can lead to back draft and smoke.
• A very high price for cast-iron heating appliances is characteristic, which does not allow everyone to purchase them for installation in a country house.

All the shortcomings of these furnaces are compensated by a long service life, high efficiency, high-quality and long heating of rooms and fuel savings.

Combined oven options

As can be seen from the descriptions above, each of the options has not only its own “pluses”, but also “cons”. That is why manufacturers have assembled in some models positive traits different materials.

Yes, most widespread"tandem" is stainless steel and cast iron. The body of the furnace is made of stainless steel, and the furnace for it is made of cast iron. If the stove model includes a hob, then it is also most often cast iron. Thus, brittle cast iron is obtained protected by the steel walls of the case, and by itself prevents overheating and deformation of the steel from direct exposure to the flame.

It should be noted that in combined options ovens are all collected best qualities two materials, as they are in the design in their places, where the risk of damage is minimal. In addition, such units have a lower cost compared to cast iron furnaces, lighter weight, but about the same efficiency.

Construction of a cast iron stove

General concepts about the design of metal furnaces

In the first part of the article, options for different furnaces were given - to compare them characteristic features. Further, we will only talk about cast-iron appliances. Modern factory-made cast iron stoves most often work on the principle of long burning, since it is this that is the best option in terms of efficiency and fuel economy.

Cast iron heating stoves can be made in the form of a fireplace, and some models are equipped with a water circuit, and are great for a fairly large country house. For small houses, an ordinary stove is suitable, since direct heat radiation emanating from its walls, the furnace door and the stove, if it is provided for in the design, will be quite enough to heat it.

Wood used as fuel must have a moisture content not exceeding 20%. It is desirable that the logs have the same length, then their burning and smoldering will occur evenly, giving excellent heat transfer. Raw wood will reduce the efficiency of the furnace, and will also contribute to an increase in soot deposits in the chimney.

firewood prices

In addition to firewood in logs, fuel briquettes and coal can be used to fire cast iron stoves. If you plan to heat the stove with coal, then for this it is worth buying its brown grade, since it is less energy-intensive and will not be able to overheat the walls of the stove. This is especially important for ovens. combined type, that is, from a combination of steel and cast iron parts.

What should be considered when choosing and installing a cast iron stove?

Before proceeding to consider various models cast iron stoves, a few words should be said about their installation and preparation for it.

Installing the oven in the place chosen for it is not difficult at all. The only difficult moment can only be big weight device. In addition, before installing a cast-iron unit, it is necessary to prepare a site for it, equipped in accordance with fire safety rules. So, preparation for the purchase and installation of the unit consists of the following stages of work:

• The first step, starting from the size of the room, is to determine which thermal power must have an oven. Usually comes from widespread standard 1 kW per 10 m². However, if country house will also be used in winter period, it is necessary to take into account a number of factors that will influence the choice of power of the device. These include the quality of insulation of walls, floors and ceilings of the house, the number and material of windows, the winter temperatures of the region and other nuances.

Perhaps, with such calculations, the calculator below will help many.

For people who visit their summer cottages not only in summer, but also in winter, the presence of a heating device in the house is very important. Cooking, drying clothes and, finally, just heating your home - for all this it is not at all necessary to buy expensive equipment and install a complex heating system. You can get by with the purchase of an inexpensive wood-burning stove, which will not be difficult to install even for a non-specialist. For this purpose, a cast-iron fireplace stove for a summer residence is perfect.

Long burning furnaces - description

What qualities should a country heating wood burning appliance?

• Since the country house requires only periodic heating, the fireplace stove must withstand long breaks in work, as well as quickly warm up and have a high heat transfer.
• It is also desirable that the device can work for a long time from one kindling and retain heat for a long time.
• It is recommended to choose a fireplace stove for a summer residence, which works not only on wood, but also uses other types of fuel. This is explained by the fact that suburban area it is not always possible to find high-quality dry wood for kindling.
• Better buy combined models having not only a heating surface, but also a hob.
• Very convenient designs with a built-in water circuit that allows you to heat water for washing dishes, taking a shower, as well as for heating neighboring rooms.
• A wood-burning heater should be compact, convenient and easy to operate.

Modern cast-iron heaters for summer cottages are mostly meet these requirements.

Characteristics of cast iron fireplace stoves

Dampness and high humidity inevitably present in unheated rooms, negatively affect all objects made of ordinary metal, which leads to their rapid wear. Cast iron, due to its resistance to condensation and corrosion, is distinguished wear resistance and durability.

The condensate that appears on the walls of the fuel chamber and in the chimney when the furnace is kindled and quickly warmed up in winter, mixes with the volatile substances of the smoke and settles on the metal surfaces of the device, which leads to their destruction. The cast-iron fuel chamber, unlike the steel one, easily tolerates such an impact and the only difficulty lies in cleaning the cast-iron surface from the resulting plaque.

If we talk about the rapid heating of the heater and the air in the room, then cast iron stoves lose a little to steel stoves: the thick walls of the stove heat up slowly. But this may also be the advantage of cast-iron stoves - when heated, the device cools down for a very long time, that is, it is capable of giving off heat for a long time after the end of the furnace, unlike a steel stove.

Household cast iron stoves for the home have enough presentable appearance and quite compact. Many models have additional equipment that increases their functionality: water tanks and hobs.

Advantages and disadvantages of cast iron fireplace stoves

Cast iron wood stoves have enough a wide range of advantages and disadvantages which is what made them so popular.

Disadvantages of cast iron fireplace stoves:

Furnace design

Most models have a simple design and consist of three parts:

• A combustion chamber equipped with a cast iron or transparent refractory glass door.
• Below, under the fuel compartment, there is an ash chamber, where after the combustion of firewood, residual combustion products (ash, ashes, unburned fuel elements) enter.
• Chimney holding in design wood stoves not last place.

Thanks to the grate built into the furnace, the residual products of combustion fall into the ash pan naturally. The air flow required for combustion is regulated by opening/closing the ash door. Many models of cast-iron stoves for summer cottages are additionally equipped with a hob for cooking and heating food. There are models equipped with additional pins or grates that prevent accidental loss of coals or firewood when the door is opened.

Appearance and installation of cast iron fireplace stoves

Installation steps cast iron stoves for summer cottages:

The principle of operation of a long-burning fireplace stove

The principle of operation of cast iron wood stoves, despite some differences in their modification, is the same. Some Models equipped with a transparent furnace door, which allows not only to heat the room, but also sitting in comfortable chair watch the flames play in the furnace. Furnaces for the home, using the convection heating method in their work, can additionally be equipped with hobs for cooking food. The third type of heating appliances for summer cottages, known as Buleryan stoves, are a well-improved potbelly stove.

Undoubtedly, heating the stove 1-2 times a day is much more convenient than every 3-4 hours, therefore, in order to ensure long-term burning of fuel in the stove, stove-makers, having slightly changed the design of the device, began to introduce a design that uses in their work principle of pyrolysis combustion.

The essence of the process lies in the fact that after burning in the combustion chamber, the firewood, with the help of a special damper that limits the supply of oxygen, is transferred to the smoldering mode. Due to this, the wood emits a mixture of combustible gases, which, together with smoke, rise under the arch of the main chamber or into the second compartment of the furnace. Hot secondary air flows in the same direction, passing through the channel along the hot wall of the combustion chamber. The gas, in contact with air under the influence of high temperatures, easily ignites and gives off additional heat to the room.

So long burning stoves for home able to work up to 6 hours without human intervention. However, for this it is necessary to observe one very important condition: the wood must be dry (permissible humidity - no more than 25%), otherwise the pyrolysis gas will be produced in very small quantities, which is not enough for the afterburning process to occur. Considering that it is rather difficult to find completely dry firewood outside the city, there are some doubts about the usefulness and effectiveness of such a design, nevertheless, cast-iron heaters are widely used in country cottages And country houses due to the duration of its working cycle.

Price

The cost of installing a cast-iron heater for the house varies from 10000 r to 30000 r, depending on the modification of the furnace. So, for example, the price of installing a conventional cast-iron fireplace stove will be somewhat different from the cost of installing a fireplace stove made of the same material.

Wood-burning cast-iron stoves for summer cottages are a very good intermediate solution between an expensive solid fuel boiler and no less expensive brick oven. In addition, a modern cast iron heater, coupled with a refractory glass furnace door, looks quite impressive and fits perfectly into any interior.
