How to make an iron oven. Making a metal furnace with your own hands. Sheet steel prices
Article outline
Stove heating remains the most affordable option for heating a private house. It is convenient for seasonal residence or relaxing outside the city on weekends, can be used as an auxiliary or main source of heat. Massive brick structures were replaced by compact steel and cast-iron hearths. This review presents the 8 best lines of stoves and fireplace stoves that are in demand in the CIS.
Purpose of the article: provide complete information about popular models of stoves for home and garden. The material will be of interest to those who need to heat from 50 to 150 m² of area or from 100 to 300 m³ of living space.
Educational program for choosing a stove
The time of bourgeoisie has long passed, and now a dozen manufacturers offer well-thought-out stove designs for every taste. They do not require reinforcement of the foundation and cladding, they are independent structures. To be in the subject, we offer concise information on the types of furnace equipment - it will help not to look like a layman when talking with sellers.
| Criteria | Varieties | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| power, kWt | from 6 and above | For heating, 10 m² take 1 kW of power. However, these conditional calculations are appropriate only with a ceiling height of up to 2.5 m, as well as full insulation of the building. They choose not so much by area, but by heated volume. |
| Heated volume, m³ | from 60 and above | It is a more accurate characteristic of the furnace, taking into account the volume of the heated room. It is enough to multiply the length by the width and height of the room to find out its volume. Some models of furnaces are tied to a specific volume, others allow you to vary the power by changing the intensity of combustion. The first option must be selected strictly for the room, in the second - without an exact reference, the main thing is that the calculated value for the heated room falls into the range of the heated volume. |
| Material | steel |
|
| cast iron |
|
|
| Design | radiating | Heating by infrared radiation is used in most models. In this case, the room is heated as natural air circulation. First, nearby walls, floors, interior items are heated, and already from them - the air around.
|
| convector | Due to the casing and holes in its upper and lower parts, a convection flow is created, which ensures intensive heat exchange.
|
|
| with heat exchanger | The water jacket allows you to directly transfer heat to the coolant that circulates through the hot water heating system. | |
| with hob | Some models have a burner for heating food on the upper plane. It can be solid in the form of a round thickening made of cast iron or collapsible. In the second case, it simplifies the cleaning of the furnace, but reduces its tightness. | |
| doors | deaf | Solid steel or cast iron doors are a durable and affordable option, but you can’t admire the flames of a fire and visually control the progress of combustion without opening the door. |
| transparent | Glass in the door increases the functionality of the fireplace stove. It becomes a source of radiant heat and additional lighting. It is easier to control the degree of combustion of fuel. However, the glass may crack, become covered with soot. It is necessary to choose models in which the glass is attached to the door along the entire perimeter of the opening, and not pointwise. In this case, it will warm up evenly and there is less risk of cracking. Pay attention to the "clean glass" function, due to which the glass is less susceptible to soot contamination due to the special air circulation near the door. | |
| Location | free | Depends on the geometry of the hull and its design. Most of all options with a free location. Such models are designed for heating one room. Corner models have a triangular or trapezoidal base for the most dense installation in a free corner. For heating two adjacent rooms, models with through ducts are used, through which air passes, heating up from the walls of the furnace. |
| angular | ||
| into the wall | ||
| Burning duration | periodic | 3-4 hours Suitable if stove heating is used as a secondary source of heat for permanent residence in a private house or as the main source - for seasonal residence in a country house. |
| prolonged | 6-8 hours. Due to the fine adjustment of the air supply, the presence of jets for complete afterburning of the fuel, a smoldering mode is available - a constant temperature of the furnace and, as a result, the temperature in the room is maintained. | |
| Chimney connection | behind | The first knee of the chimney will overheat during inept operation of the stove. But it is possible to ensure the normal discharge of the pyrogenetic liquid, avoiding its entry into the furnace. |
| above | The chimney is led out through the ceiling to the roof or through the knee along the wall. Provides maximum draft when compared to comparable chimney height and rear connection. Compared to the rear connection, the oven looks more bulky when connected from above. | |
| behind or above | You can connect in different ways. This will mute the alternate connection. | |
| Furnace protection | absent | Short-lived steel equipment for several years. You can bet on such solutions in order to save money with rare use in the country. Or in cast iron products - it is not needed. |
| steel or cast iron elements | Interchangeable metal panels protect the firebox material from burning. | |
| fireclay brick | Heat-resistant material that protects the steel firebox from direct exposure to hot coals. |
What else matters?
The main fuel for fireplace stoves is wood. Logs can have different sizes, and this must be taken into account. The larger their size, the easier and faster it is to prepare firewood and lay it in the firebox. The manufacturer usually indicates the maximum allowable log length, and it is better if this value is not less than 300 mm in your oven. If you go to the store, be sure to take a tape measure with you. With it, you can not only estimate the size of the loaded firewood, but also estimate the volume of the firebox, which manufacturers often do not indicate in the specification.

1. Fire battery (TMF, Russia)
The Termofor company (after rebranding in 2017 - TMF) is a Novosibirsk manufacturer of stove equipment for home, summer cottages and baths. Positions itself as No. 1 in Russia. One of the know-how of the company is the development of a steel furnace Fire-battery. According to the manufacturer, when creating this model long burning take into account all the shortcomings of existing structures. Available in four versions: basic model without additional identifiers - with a cast-iron burner, glass in the door; Light is the simplest model, without hob and sight glass in the door. Both options can have an additional water heat exchanger for heating water, then the stove is designated respectively as Fire battery B or Fire battery Light B. The power of the equipment varies depending on the size of the body and the number of sections of the slot convector, which can be 5, 7, 9 or 11 pieces.
The chip of the model is a fine adjustment of the draft and a special lock in the ash pan, which prevents uncontrolled air leakage. You can enter the smoldering mode, in which the operation of the furnace from one load is extended up to 8 hours. There is a jet to ensure complete combustion of the fuel. The chimney is displayed either backwards or immediately upwards. The model is durable, because it provides for a replaceable protection of the firebox - in its lower part above the cast-iron grate, inclined intermediate steel sheets are installed.
* In parentheses is the cost for the modification of the main model (light - without a hob / B - with a heat exchanger tank / light B)
Application impressions. The popularity of this model is easily explained - it has no obvious shortcomings. But at the same time, it maintains long-term burning up to 8 hours; any fuel can be used as fuel. wood waste. Compact, suitable for installation even in a small room. Quickly warms up the estimated volume of air: from 0°C to +25°C in 40-50 minutes. Withstands severe violations of operating modes not recommended by the manufacturer. There are cases when such a stove was bought for one season and heated to the limit, heating twice as much volume as indicated in the passport. Nevertheless, the model is tenacious and maintainable. In the modification with a hob, smoking from under the cast-iron pancake is possible. This is observed at the ignition stage with an open ash drawer. Operational problems can be caused by improper chimney construction and the use of damp firewood.

2. Matrix (Teplodar, Russia)
Russian company"Teplodar" specializes in the production of steel boilers and stove equipment for baths and saunas, houses and cottages. It has been operating since 1997. The most popular oven model is called the Matrix. Available in two versions: for heating 100 and 200 m³. These are long-burning wood-burning stoves that work up to 8 hours in the smoldering mode on one tab of firewood. The slotted casing-convector provides effective heat removal, evenly distributing air throughout the room. The doors in both models are equipped with heat-resistant glass. There are afterburners (jets) to maintain the smoldering mode, a rotary damper that allows you to bring the chimney up or behind. There is a closed hob for cooking.
Application impressions. As with most other stoves, it is recommended to make the first firebox outdoors so that the fading paintwork does not fill the room with acrid smoke. Not everyone listens to the manufacturer's recommendations, so there is dissatisfaction with the foreign smell. The model is successful in terms of design, it quickly heats the air in the room of the calculated volume: in half an hour the temperature changes from 0°C to +28°C, at -3°C outside. To maintain the temperature during the day +20°C at -20°C outside, it is enough to use only 8-10 logs for the Matrix-100 model. Compact, modification for 200 cubic meters has a large glass in the door, which, when using dry firewood, is not smoky.
Look at Teplodar Matrix-100 in action:
3. Ardenfire (META, Russia)
Meta Group specializes in the manufacture of furnaces, fireboxes, cladding and accessories for furnace equipment. This is a Russian manufacturer, 20 years on the market. The range of fireplace stoves we are interested in includes products made of steel and cast iron. The latter are produced in a separate Ardenfire line, in particular, Marseille 7, 10 and 14 models. Despite the fact that the company is Russian, all components are supplied from abroad - only assembly and testing in the Russian Federation. So, cast-iron parts come from France, sealing cords from Germany, glass for installation in doors from Japan. Among the features of the Marseille model: a large glass in the door with a “clean glass” system, firewood and brown coal can be used as fuel, there is a secondary afterburner.
Application impressions. Powerful cast iron stoves that fit easily into the interior country house. Large firebox, suitable firewood standard size. Heat from the case is transferred by radiation, so the room does not warm up as quickly as in designs with convection elements. Long-term burning is not provided, but due to the massiveness of the furnace, it cools down within 2-3 hours with an average burning time on one tab of 2 hours. The design is simple, but the large glass area of the door gives it a special charm due to the bewitching appearance of burning logs.

4. Bavaria (Ekokamin, Russia)
The Russian company Bavaria calls itself a leader in the production of furnace equipment. They have been operating since 2000. Specialization: furnaces, conventional and tiled stoves. The plant offers 3 product lines, the most popular of which is Bavaria. These are steel furnaces lined with fireclay bricks. They can be standard or corner, with or without a hob, with a lining made of ceramic tiles or tiles. The range of this line includes products costing from 16 to 75 thousand rubles.
Application impressions. Compact size, laconic design, which is suitable for any country house, interesting solution according to the lining, you can choose tiles to taste. Warms up a cold house of 50 square meters to +7°C at -15°C outside in 2 hours. The maximum duration of burning on one tab is 6 hours. The possibility of connecting a chimney behind or on top of the stove is conveniently implemented. However, do not count on effective use stove, because it heats up very slowly.

5. Andorra (THORMA, Slovakia)
The Slovak company Torma boasts over 100 years of history in the production of steel and cast iron furnaces. Products are in the middle and premium price segment. In the range of fireplace stoves, the most popular model is the cylindrical Andorra. This is a steel furnace with a fireclay ceramic lining and a cast-iron grate. Wood or brown coal briquettes can be used as fuel. The intake of external air through a separate branch pipe is provided, there is a function of long burning. The swivel Exclusive model deserves special attention: the stove can be rotated around its axis and the flame can be observed from anywhere in the room.
Application impressions. Both modifications have the function of long burning, which limits the access of oxygen to the combustion chamber. Available in black and grey. Most of all there are discussions of the Exclusive model, which can be placed at the junction of two zones, for example, a living room and a kitchen. In this case, the actual rotation angle is 90 degrees, i.e. It will not work to fully expand the oven, and it is not necessary given the laconic design of the rear wall. The turning mechanism is step-by-step, it requires effort and the use of a special handle fixed under the firebox - the working stove cannot be turned by the body. Burning is beautiful, which is facilitated by the large glass in the door. The furnace is medium in size, the glass is not covered with soot due to the gap between it and the combustion zone.

6. Koza K (Kratki, Poland)
The products of the Polish manufacturer Kratki have been known in Europe since 1998. A couple of years later, they began to actively promote it in the CIS. To date, the equipment of this TM is available in 56 countries around the world. The range includes fireplaces, freestanding stoves, bio-fireplaces and accessories for all of the above. One of the running lines is Koza K, Victorian-style cast iron equipment. The manufacturer offers several varieties of each of the models: with decorated doors, made of steel or cast iron, with or without a turbine, water circuit, thermostat. Inside the furnace is completely lined with fire-resistant ceramics. There is a “clean glass” system against soot and a branch pipe for supplying air from the outside - a convenient feature if it is important not to overdry the air in a heated room.
Application impressions. An important advantage of the line is the appearance. Large firebox for 9-10 logs, large glass, keeping clean. Products are made of cast iron, so you need to be ready to enter the operating mode within an hour. This is compensated by the inertia of the system, on one tab it is possible to maintain comfortable temperature indoors for 5-6 hours. If the case itself is massive and there is no doubt about its strength, then against its background the quality of the fittings is average. The latches are made of thin steel, the door handle ceases to sit securely in its place over time. It is likely that after a couple of years the fittings will have to be changed, but it all depends on the nature of the operation.

7. Tomera, Ulysse (Supra, France)
The French company Supra has specialized in wood heating equipment since 1878. It is this manufacturer that is the pioneer in the design of the furnace furnace with controlled combustion. Supra offers stoves and fireplaces made of cast iron and steel for heating private houses of any size. Two cast-iron models came into our field of vision, having a similar design, but differing in details. Both have a cylindrical shape with a meter long glass in the door. Long burning till 10 o'clock, the system "pure glass" is provided. The case cover is black enamel, resistant to abrasion.
Application impressions. Tomera is a very popular model made of cast iron, so there are a lot of positive feedback about its operation. They praise not only the appearance, compactness and heat transfer, but also the possibility of using logs of great length, as well as briquettes. What problems may arise is with transporting the stove from the car to its place in the house, if this is planned on its own. The oven is very heavy, it is better to carry four people, using special belts. There were cases when the product was dropped, and the cast iron does not tolerate this, it cracks. Regarding long-term burning, real indicators are at the level of 6-7 hours. For example, a full bookmark for the night burns out from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. at a temperature of -25 ° C outside.
Watch the video review of the Supra Tomera:
8. Ghisa (La Nordica, Italy)
The Italian company La Nordica was founded in 1968 and has been on the wood heating market for the past 50 years. Products are supplied to 50 countries. The range of the manufacturer includes ultra-modern, classic and models in rustic style- for heating, cooking, heating water.
Our selection includes 3 models with female names. All are made of cast iron and, which is quite rare, convective heat transfer is implemented in Isetta and Isotta: there is a space between the firebox and the body for air circulation. Another feature is the side loading door in the Isetta and Isotta models! At the same time, Giulietta is the simplest of the collection, suitable for seasonal use in the country.
Application impressions. Such ovens are taken for their appearance and ease of use. They are more expensive than alternative options due to Italian origin, but this is fully justified for those who want to solve the issue of heating a country house for the next 10 years. Logs up to 400 mm long can be thrown into the firebox, while a full bookmark is enough for 4-5 hours to maintain a comfortable temperature at -15 ° C outside. Warm up rooms quickly: Isotta at 9 kW in a 100 m² insulated house raises the temperature from +5°C to +25°C in 1-1.5 hours at -5°C outside. Among the minuses, only the upper connection of the chimney can be called.
Look short video with the work of the Isotta model:

Alexei
The history of the appearance of this unit indicates that each nation has its own design and scope. But what everyone has in common is a combustion chamber, a chimney, a valve in the pipe and an ash pan.
As for the use, depending on this, several types are distinguished, and among them are home stoves made of metal.
Their purpose is space heating or cooking, and possibly a combination of these functions in one unit. How to choose suitable model and what to pay attention to in the first place? These issues are relevant to everyone, so their consideration and made in a separate topic.
Getting to know the equipment
The hearth can not only warm the home, but also make it especially cozy. But the old ones are not efficient enough, they heat only one room in which they are located and it will take several hours to warm it up.
And a completely different matter is metal samples, which within half an hour are able to heat a room with a significant area. Such a furnace can be used as a backup or additional heat source and, if necessary, can be easily dismantled and transferred to another location.
A metal stove for a home belongs to long-burning units and can work for several hours without additional fuel consumption. It is subdivided depending on the material of manufacture into:
- Steel
- Cast iron
And depending on the purpose, they can only be heating or heating and cooking.
Metal and brick construction - differences and common characteristics
Which stove to choose for heating the house? A couple of decades ago, there was no alternative to brick models. But such equipment is big weight and dimensions, so its installation requires a number of measures.
The most important thing is the arrangement of the foundation. Its depth and power depend on the furnace model. Work on its creation is carried out before the construction of the walls of the house. Failure to comply with the rules can lead to cracks, both on the chimney and the stove itself.
Watch the video, why we prefer metal furnaces:
But at the same time, the equipment itself has a good heat capacity and can long time maintain a comfortable temperature. However, it warms up for a long time and is also installed in the center of the building, thereby reducing free space.
In the house, a metal stove is most often installed in rooms with a large area, because every hour they emit up to 500 W of heat. Therefore, even in the most severe frosts, they are heated no more than 2 times a day.
But what about those whose house has already been built, and frequent power outages and the lack of a gas main do not allow maintaining a constantly comfortable temperature in it. The way out of this situation is to purchase a metal furnace for the house.
It warms up very quickly and is able to quickly create comfortable conditions in the room. Naturally, its power is only enough for one room, but it is assembled very quickly, and the chimney can be led directly into the window.
Of course, these units have low efficiency, but modern models are equipped with special heat accumulators, capable of maintaining a comfortable temperature in the room in a prolonged mode. There are long-burning models among them, in which firewood smolders for a long period of time, allowing you to heat it no more than twice a day.
When choosing, we focus on the main characteristics
When solving the issue of heating a private house, one should pay attention not only to the features of the stove, but also to the needs of the people living in it. Among the whole variety of heating equipment, several varieties deserve attention:
- Heating
- Heating and cooking
- Household
- special purpose
Focusing on them, a metal stove for the house is selected. For example, the first main function space heating is considered, the second ones can be used for cooking, and the third ones are installed not only in residential, but also in utility rooms, bathhouses, garages, greenhouses. Knowing these features, it is easy to make a choice in favor of one of the models.
If space heating is required for country house, then the most important parameter is how quickly the selected furnace will work. A metal unit will successfully cope with such a task. It heats up very quickly, which means as soon as possible your home will be warm and cozy.
If the stove is needed not only for heating, but also for cooking, then choose a heating and cooking model. In this case, it is necessary to determine in advance the required power and calculate the heat transfer. Usually, the calculation is compared not only with the size of the room, but also with the lowest temperatures for the area.
The moment is also taken into account, as the location of equipment elements. Each model has different characteristics which plays an important role in the selection.
Well-known manufacturers, an overview of their products
So what does the market offer us? The range of heating equipment is quite wide, it is divided into foreign expensive and high-quality equipment, as well as local equipment, which has a low price and average characteristics. What to choose depends on wealth and requirements. We will consider the three most frequently offered brands of domestic products.
Watch the video, consumer reviews of Breneran products:
Breneran furnaces are a cylindrical container surrounded by large diameter pipes. They are able to work for a long period of time from one bookmark of firewood. The diameter of the pipes at the outlet allows them to be equipped with air ducts for supplying heat to neighboring rooms.
The complexity of the operation of such equipment is associated with large heat losses when heating several rooms.
Another disadvantage of the furnace is the ill-conceived design. The location of the nozzle and tee with chimney on the rear wall of the unit leads to the appearance of an unpleasant odor in the room, from condensate and other substances flowing into a glass with a plug. Therefore, forced extraction or installation in a specially equipped place is necessary.
The advantages of Breneran furnaces include a wide variety of standard sizes for any volume of premises.
Another brand is Professor Butakov's ovens. Outwardly, they are more spectacular than Breneran, but they are somewhat inferior in terms of operating time. You can heat food on them, but not in smoldering mode, otherwise you will have to wait a very long time for dinner.
The side walls of these oven models can get very hot due to the increased heat load. Therefore, their installation is not allowed in close proximity to flammable surfaces. Besides this shortcoming significantly reduces the life of the equipment.
We watch a video, an overview of Butakov's furnaces:
The range of stoves Professor Butakov is presented in various sizes, which allows you to choose a model for a specific area of \u200b\u200bthe room. The disadvantages of the equipment include the non-standard diameter of the chimney, which is associated with the need to connect it using transition elements and, accordingly, increases the cost.
These furnaces are slow burning units and have low temperature exhaust gases. This feature leads to a rapid increase in soot, which means frequent cleaning of the pipe.
The location of the unit is allowed no closer than 0.5 m from the wall, which means that a significant area will be required for its installation.
Conclusion
The choice of heating equipment requires a competent approach. But one fact has remained unchanged over the years. Whatever the advantages of gas or electricity powered units, they are not autonomous and this is their biggest drawback.
Therefore, only metal or brick ovens drip-type mining or wood-burning will help create a comfortable environment in the house, regardless of whether it is connected to centralized engineering systems. And this is their main advantage.
Heating stoves are designed to heat small houses, as well as cottages and industrial premises. They are very convenient, especially for summer cottages, because they can be kindled only if necessary, and such stoves can quickly heat a small room.
Wood-burning stoves for summer cottages are quite compact in size and take up significantly less space than . Some of the models have additional features: cooking, for example. This is possible due to the presence of an upper flat surface through which flue gases pass. Some of the ovens are equipped with a hot water circuit (to heat the water in the tank) or an oven.
Furnaces for summer cottages are produced by many companies: Breneran (Bulleryan), Professor Butakov, Termofor, Teplodar, Ferlux, Jotul, Sergio Leoni, Edil Kamin, Keddy, Supra, Nunnauuni, Thorma.
Heating wood stoves from the domestic brand Professor Butakov stand out among competitors with high heat transfer from the surface due to large convective pipes and their ergonomic mounting in the system. The branch pipe connecting the chimney pipe is located at the top. The condensate flows into the furnace and burns directly there. The manufacturer produces stoves suitable for heating rooms of various sizes (150 - 1200 m3). The rated power of the models varies between 9-55 kW.
The furnace for heating the dacha produced by Breneran looks like a design with pipes. Such a system is capable of providing forced convection. The advantage of this design is a fairly rapid heating and smooth distribution of air throughout the room. Through the smallest model range the oven passes approximately 4.5 cubic meters of heated air per minute. At the same time, the wood stove itself does not heat up.
The Thermofor wood-burning stove called Fire Battery attracts with its aesthetic design, which allows it to be organically introduced into any modern interior. The name of the furnace is very eloquent and true: the coefficient useful action this model is 85%. The large volume of the combustion chamber of the furnace makes it possible to warm up rooms of 150 cubic meters well. This heating stove is, in addition, also a cooking stove. There are several dimensional options for the model, which makes possible selection the best option, perfectly suited to your specific cottage.
The range of Edilkamin stoves is quite wide. Among the many models presented, you can easily choose the type of stove you need with the color of the cladding that suits your interior. By purchasing a wood-burning stove from Edilkamin, you will receive an environmentally friendly energy-saving heating device and at the same time decorate your dacha.
Furnaces from Spanish trademark Ferlux are designed, manufactured and tested according to current European standards. Furnace equipment of this brand has a CE mark of conformity. Most of the models of this company have more efficient combustion - due to installed system double combustion. This design allows you to increase the efficiency and reduce wood consumption.

For the most efficient heating, we will select a stove of the required volume for you - we have stoves for 50-1000 cubic meters - conventional and convection.
We can buy heating furnaces for the house and giving with delivery and installation. For each stove, we will select a chimney for you or offer options for ready-made chimney installation kits.
Today, the market offers a wide range of different wood stoves for the home, from different manufacturers. The design, shapes and sizes of modern stoves for summer cottages are completely diverse. And almost every manufacturer has heating wood stoves similar in their properties. It is difficult to say which of the manufacturers is better or worse, each has its pros and cons, so choosing a brand is a personal matter for everyone, a matter of taste.
When choosing a wood-burning stove for your home, you should pay attention to the following points:
- the metal from which the furnace firebox and the furnace itself are made - of course best material for furnaces today is austenitic high-alloy heat-resistant steel, during the first kindling of the furnace on the surface of such steel, a protective film is formed that prevents the metal from collapsing. Cast iron behaves very well in fire - such a firebox will also serve you for more than one year! The third place is already occupied by black boiler steel. In order for the black firebox to serve for a long time, its walls are made very thick (up to 8 mm for some manufacturers) or lined with fireclay bricks. Manufacturers, making sauna stove, use the same steel.
- It is also important that the stove for the house is economical and can work on one bookmark of firewood for at least 3-6 hours. Here, much depends on the volume and internal device furnaces: the longer the smoke and hot gases are inside the furnace and do not fly out into the chimney, the more heat the furnace will give off environment. Various types of convectors are good helpers, which increase the heated surfaces of the furnace, release heat more slowly and help distribute it in space.
- Then there are secondary factors, which, however, can be very important for you! We are talking about the presence of a hob, a retractable grate, glass in the door, appearance, chimney outlet (up or to the side). Of course, the presence of a burner, especially with removable rings, is a big plus in the stove. On such an oven, you can fully cook food. However, many ovens simply have a flat top surface that allows food to be heated.
You can talk for a long time about the advantages and disadvantages of modern wood-burning stoves for the home, but you need to remember that all the "bells and whistles" and "bells and whistles" always come down to money! Therefore, a lot of all sorts of pluses is of course very good, but expensive!

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.
Stove-fireplace ANGARA
When choosing a stove, we were looking for an inexpensive and at the same time high-quality option. Foreign models they didn’t fit into the budget, so we settled on a Russian manufacturer, especially since 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. Thermal power 9 kW, for a summer residence with an area of 70 squares, it is enough with a head. 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.

Stove-fireplace La Nordica FULVIA LIBERTY
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.
Stove-fireplace La Nordica FIAMMETTA
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 long burning mode. 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 oven.
