How to choose a stove

1. Fireplace stove power. The performance of the stove is selected for a specific house or room. In order not to be mistaken with the power, it is necessary to calculate the volume of the room. Most often, the performance is indicated in cubic meters. Simplified, you can divide the floor space by 10 to find out the minimum power of the heating device with a room height of 2.5 m.
2. Body material. Most fireplace stoves make of two materials.
3. Cast iron models differ in longer warming up, but they keep heat longer. This type of furnace is best suited for homes in which people live.
4. Steel Fireplaces give heat 15-20 minutes after kindling. But as soon as the wood burns through, the stove begins to cool quickly. Heating devices made of steel are best suited for summer residents who come for a weekend in the cold outside the city.
5. Decoration Materials. To improve the safety of residents in the operation of the stove-fireplace, as well as to improve its appearance, manufacturers trim the outer surface. The best option would be to use ceramics or natural stone, tile or majolica.
6. Duration of burning. When you have to spend the night in a country house, the duration of burning on one tab becomes an important characteristic of the stove. In order not to disturb the sleep of the residents, the efficiency of the furnace should be 6-8 hours. Otherwise, the cold will make you wake up and throw firewood in the furnace.
7. Type of fuel. There are many sources of energy that can be used in fireplace stoves.
8. The most simple and affordable fuels for residents of Russia are firewood. They quickly give heat, can fester for a long time. But one bookmark in the furnace is not enough for burning for 6-8 hours.
9. Peat or coal briquettes are characterized by high heat transfer. They can slowly fester all night, creating a comfortable atmosphere in the house. But it is very difficult to ignite such fuel without firewood, and after burning you have to remove a lot of sludge from the furnace.
