Burn “Dutch” with a stove: varieties, parameters, masonry with your own hands

Nothing compares to the comforting warmth of a crackling fire in the hearth when winter’s chill sets in. But in addition to adding ambience, a well-made stove can heat your house effectively and practically. Of all the options available, the "Dutch" stove is the most appealing and effective. We’ll go over the many types of Dutch stoves, their essential features, and how to start the fulfilling project of building one yourself in this guide.

What distinguishes the Dutch stove, first of all? Dutch stoves are made to retain heat as much as possible while being extremely efficient, in contrast to conventional open fireplaces. Usually, they have a closed combustion chamber, which improves airflow and heat output control. This implies that you will use less fuel and have more even, long-lasting warmth throughout your house. In addition, the enclosed design lessens the chance of sparks and heat loss up the chimney.

Let’s now explore the different varieties of Dutch stoves that are out there. There is a large selection to choose from to accommodate various tastes and heating needs, ranging from sleek modern designs to traditional cast iron models. While some stoves are made expressly to heat a single room, others can be connected to ductwork to provide heat for the whole house. When choosing the ideal stove for your house, take into account elements like size, material, and visual appeal.

Knowing the important factors to consider is crucial when constructing your own Dutch stove. Ensuring the safety and efficiency of the stove requires proper masonry. It will be necessary for you to carefully plan the layout, considering things like flue size, chimney height, and clearances to combustible materials. Even though it might seem difficult, the process is completely doable for the committed do-it-yourselfer with the correct direction and close attention to detail.

A Dutch stove might be the ideal choice if you want to lower your heating costs, give your house a little rustic charm, or just enjoy the comforting warmth of a crackling fire. Through investigating the various types, comprehending essential elements, and learning how to construct one yourself, you can start a fulfilling path toward a more cozy and environmentally friendly house.

The history of the development of stove

Due to a variety of factors, including the state of theoretical and applied science, the stove industry developed unevenly in different regions and countries. The Roman and Byzantine empires did not require efficient heat-intensive furnaces because of their warm climate; however, they did require baths, which are a crucial component of sanitary security.

Even though the baths used by the wealthy and the poor were very different, the basic idea behind how they were heated remained the same: hot smoke from a separate room stove produced heat through a system of channels under the floor, heating the entire bathhouse.

Because heating a home was essential for survival in the northern regions, by the time of the Roman Empire’s collapse, various warm-intensive foci had proliferated practically everywhere and were keeping rooms warm even after fire had been extinguished.

A real Russian furnace is one example of a hearth like this; it had no chimney, so the smoke rose under the ceiling and passed through a number of gaps and crevices. A portion of the roof was opened somewhere to allow smoke to escape, and in other locations, wood combustion byproducts were released through open doors or windows.

Even though carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide poisoning is extremely dangerous, there are several benefits to this type of heating, including:

• defended wooden houses from decay (impregnation with smoke killed in wood all harmful microorganisms);
• It was the simplest and most affordable even the poorest families;
• provided a comfortable night sleep – despite the low air temperature in such a house, the warm roof of the Russian stove allowed to sleep comfortably on it even in the most severe frosts;
• The hot furnace of the Russian furnace was used to cook and store food, as well as for washing, because not always a poor family could put a separate bathhouse.

However, even in Russia, where the vast majority of people live in abject poverty, the stove industry grew over time, though increasingly sophisticated stoves were only accessible to the wealthy. The breakthrough came at the end of the 17th century when Peter I brought furnace masters and models of basic, but at the time efficient, heating furnaces, known as "Dutch," from the Dutch Holland.

The "Dutch" represented the height of stove technology at the time; their sophisticated vertical channel system, along with the scorch of a cast-iron closing door, allowed them to select the majority of the heat from smoke gases.

However, by the middle of the eighteenth century, this design was out of date and less efficient than more contemporary stoves, like a loss round furnace. Furthermore, low-income households had to install two furnaces—one for cooking and one for heating—which led to a need for a more widely used and efficient stove that could be folded by even a novice master or regular peasant.

The appearance of "Dutch" in Russia

By the time Peter I departed for the Netherlands, the capital city of Moscow had already been rebuilt several times because of the frequent fires that destroyed wooden houses that were even heated "in black," or without a chimney, at the touch of a spark. Another issue was the high death rate from smoke poisoning, which was a common occurrence in these homes and gave rise to the moniker "smoke huts."

The young king was compelled by all of this to search for novel kinds of stoves that would combine:

1. Efficiency (almost the entire Moscow kingdom was located on lands, where the temperature in the winter fell noticeably below zero degrees, which means it was necessary to either burn the entire forest in the district, or put a more effective heating device).
2. Safety (compared to “Kurna hut” any house heated through a chimney was safe).
3. Simplicity (there were German villages next to Moscow, where all houses were heated with chimney stoves, but compared to adobe Russian stoves, these heater were very complicated, so the maximum design was required ”.

Restricted the stove item’s development in Russia. The low level of industrialization was caused by the necessity for a strong metallurgical industry in order to build efficient furnaces, even in Russia, a country rich in inventors of all stripes.

Since the cost of any good is determined by the volume produced, cast iron doors made the artisanal way are nearly ten times more expensive than those made using the fluid production method. And in order to do this, numerous related industries as well as metal casting had to grow.

Foreigners who answered the call to Russia (regardless of nationality; Germans were referred to as Germans because they were unable to speak Russian) brought a variety of technical solutions that could not be implemented at that production level.

In Russia, what could be easily produced in the German principalities or England was either nonexistent or very costly. And this is the case even though it has been known for several millennia that cast iron (also known as pork iron, or iron unfit for forging) exists.

The boyars and merchants who constituted the most solvent segment of the population were the ones who caused this state of industry; they found it easier to purchase goods from overseas than to engage in production without a certain, speedy return.

Because of this, smokehouses were discovered in Russia prior to the middle of the 19th century, despite the king’s support for the new stove. The situation in the village deteriorated annually following the Crimean War defeat, as the tsarist Russian government initially did not see the need to invest in the village’s development.

The First World War and the Russian-Japanese War’s defeat resulted in revolution, so the village’s residents’ treatment didn’t change until the 1920s of the 20th century. This is because collectivization was implemented before normal heating appeared in the village of Normal Heating. Well-functioning Dutch stoves were replaced by Kurni even in the most remote villages as a result of this political shift.

The evolution of the Dutch furnace in Russia

Due to the unaffordable cost of the furnace door for many families, the distribution of the Dutch Moder that Peter brought was limited by the inadequate advancement of metallurgy.

Some documents state that at the start of World War I, the majority of peasants had only tried meat in the army for the first time. However, nearly 200 years had passed since Peter’s "Great Embassy" took place. Consequently, some of the peasant families did not think it necessary to give up on the traditional adobe stove in favor of a notably more costly equivalent that required hiring a stove master to build.

However, by the middle of the 19th century, about half of the peasant houses had new sample heating devices installed, and by the start of the 20th century, the proportion of such houses had risen to more than two thirds. Many furnace masters emerged as a result of the Hollands’ mass construction; some of these were well-formed, indicating that they comprehended the fundamentals of the furnace and were able to enhance certain aspects of them.

The need for the most efficient but lightweight furnaces increased as the population grew and as apartment complexes and multi-story buildings appeared. Additionally, as the kulak population in the village increased, a need for universal heating devices emerged.

Together with the advancement of metallurgy and the rising cost of the goods produced by metallurgical businesses, these factors contributed to the widespread use of grates and hobs in addition to furnace doors.

With such a large stockpile of stove iron, the masters were able to build better structures that met the needs that Peter the Gollandoki brought about. Thus, hobs were added to the Dutch stove after it had first been fitted with grates, which significantly raised the useful action’s efficiency (efficiency) by allowing the firewood to burn more thoroughly.

During the mid-1800s, IN. Lomonosov created and published a hydraulic theory of gases that clarified the mechanism of smoke movement within the furnace and enabled this movement to be more efficient in terms of heat selection while retaining traction.

M. E. Grum-Himailo developed the first caps in the 1930s, based on this theory, and they were distinguished by greater efficiency with the least amount of mass. Improvements to canal systems also led to the emergence of "gas stoves," which had two lifting channels instead of one.

Furnaces with reduced heating—where the smoke traveled through the channits and beneath the ash chamber, heating the device to the floor—also emerged as a consequence of the application of the hydraulic theory.

Homes with these heaters were much cozier because the traditional Russian stove, even in the absence of a chimney, warmed up somewhere around the belt, making the ceiling hot and the floor nearly frozen. Because the stove masters developed and rolled out new schemes on the "Dutch," even such a change in Russian furnaces can be seen as a result of their evolution.

Varieties

Traditional Dutch stoves from the turn of the 20th century, which are those without a hob and with a fifth burner, are rare due to their low efficiency and restricted functionality when compared to their modern counterparts. They are typically found in well-preserved rural buildings from the early 1900s that feature innovative features.

They are replaced starting in the second half of the 20th century by heaters designed by Podgorodnik, Grum-Himailo, and other writers who in some way incorporated Lomonosov’s hydraulic theory into their works.

However, since the term "Dutch stove" was first used to refer to any heating appliance that wasn’t a Russian furnace more than a century ago, Dutch people now refer to stoves of different types.

Additionally, the customary name was given the most peculiar variations, the most intriguing of which are:

• golanka;
• Galanka;
• rude (rude).

As a result, the term "Dutch" is no longer used to describe the stove’s design but rather as a marketing strategy to raise demand for heaters made by a specific manufacturer.

Some Holland stoves are different from the original model in that they have the following features:

• galloping furnace;
• oven and/or hob;
• bread chamber;
• horizontal or anti -flow channels;
• Kolpakov;
• lies;
• califfer;
• transit chimneys.

Comparison

The fifth fire’s primary benefit is its straightforward design, but the golus option has a lot more benefits:

1. Due to the fact that the air is suitable from below and passes through the fuel lying on the grate on the grate, the process of its combustion becomes more intense, that is, the same amount of firewood emits more heat.
2. The lower flow of air leads to a more intensive burning out of the coal, so the process of intense heat release lasts almost complete fuel burning, while in the solid firewood up to a third of heat is lost due to the lack of carbon fingering.
3. Unlike the percentage, the galloping furnace is multi -fuel, so it is suitable for burning not only firewood, but also coal, briquettes and pellets. Street villages, and often homemade stoves with a golst furnace often drowned with straw or dried dangling.

There are drawbacks to the Golberry Furnace. Firewood or coal burns at a higher temperature because of the more intense air flow into the zone of active fuel combustion; as a result, the walls must be stepped on.

This is not as significant with firewood, but in a furnace without lining, burning coal is not an option because the temperature in the active combustion zone rises above 1000 °C. Brick trimming is another drawback; the grate must be installed such that its upper side does not protrude above the furnace’s bottom.

The third disadvantage is the reverse of one of the benefits; there are three stages involved in complete fuel combustion:

• pyrolysis (thermal) decomposition of firewood or coal;
• combustion of pyrolysis gases;
• burning of pyrolysis gases and their combustion products.

A minimum amount of air must enter the active combustion zone for thermal decomposition to occur. Much more air is needed for the pyrolysis gases to burn, and the thermal breakdown must enter the zone just above it to prevent cooling the decomposing fuel. Significantly less air is needed for the burning of pyrolysis gases, but it must be supplied 30–60 cm above the grate.

The advantages and disadvantages of the furnace with the hob

There are two benefits at the hob furnace:

• the possibility of cooking;
• The ability to create a furnace without a furnace door.

The outside temperature of the furnace ranges from 200 to 700 degrees, depending on the kind of fuel and the distance between the grate and the hob. The temperature of the plate gradually drops after the furnace stops, but it noticeably rises above 100 degrees for 4–7 hours, allowing you to cook food on it.

If the hob has circles instead of being solid, you can install it without using the furnace door by filling it with fuel on top and removing the ash from the bottom. One advantage of this option is that it eliminates the need to cut the bricks in order to install the furnace door, which makes it much easier to lay the furnace, particularly if the firebox is lined. However, not everyone finds this design to be convenient; loading fuel and cleaning the grate are made simpler by opening the door.

Cons of the furnace with a three-slab:

1. The cast -iron slab, thanks to the high heat transfer coefficient, greatly cools the flow of the flushing of the smoke, the maximum temperature of which rarely exceeds 500 degrees, while in the furnaces without the plate this parameter reaches the value of 700–750 degrees. Such a decrease in temperature limits the size of heating shields, which means that with the same amount of fuel, he will heat such a stove 20-30 percent worse.
2. To install the hob, you have to cut the upper row of bricks, forming in it a sample for the size of the plate with a tolerance for the temperature expansion. After that, the cast -iron part can be laid on a clay solution, sand or basalt/kaolin cotton wool.
3. In such fireboxes, it is impossible to realize the supply of secondary air for the burning of pyrolysis gases, because after the air supply, the gases should mix with oxygen and ignite, and this requires free space and high temperature.

Options for the implementation of the oven

The oven greatly increases the potential applications of the furnace, as it can be used to prepare a variety of pastries.

Ovens come in two varieties:

• White (in white), that is, separated from the flux of smoke gases.
• Black (in black), that is, the one through which smoke gases pass.

Since the "in white" oven is conventional, fuel combustion products do not build up in it. However, it has a negative impact on the flow of smoke gases because the wind box needs to be washed from at least two sides. A bread camera is another term for the oven that is "in the white," along with a burning camera.

Its benefit is that the smoke gases burn off inside of it, releasing more heat. However, the stove’s furnace does not produce enough hot smoke, so when it mixes with air, it does not ignite; instead, it just cools down more intensely.

Consequently, the "in black" ovens in these furnaces are constructed without a secondary air supply, allowing them to reach temperatures of 200–250 degrees and maintain a cooking temperature for three to five hours. Furthermore, they serve as the first and most heat-loaded channel, preventing any subsequent channels or caps from overheating.

Vertical channels and their modern analogues

Long vertical channels have one major drawback: they strongly inhibit the flow of flue gases, necessitating a higher chimney for stoves that use them.

As hot smoke enters the first channel, it rises because the air around it is much lighter. However, the smoke’s temperature becomes problematic in the second channel already because it is still noticeably lighter than air, and he must descend to enter the third channel. Because there is only one discount channel in a three-channel chimney and two in a five-year chimney, the resistance to smoke movement in the latter is significantly higher than in the former.

The stream of smoke is much less affected by heating shields with horizontal channels since there is no need to force it downward, but their efficacy—that is, their capacity to extract heat from the chimney—is noticeably diminished.

In anti-flow furnaces, where one lifting channel accounts for 2-4 depressions, this drawback is somewhat mitigated. The smoke in them is separated into hot and cold fractions due to their large section; the latter strive down themselves because of their greater density and lower temperature.

This disadvantage is removed in caps because the hottest gases are at the top due to a division into warm and cold fractions along the entire length from the grate to the oven cover.

Because hot gases are lighter than air and rise to the top where the lid is located, this causes an appearance of excess pressure beneath the oven lid. Furthermore, there are areas where carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide stagnate in caps and heating shields. As a result, the stove’s capacity requirements for working with brick are far higher than those for channel furnace laying.

But these stoves and heating shields are becoming more and more popular because of their increased efficiency and minimal resistance to the flow of smoke. However, the arguments in support of each system continue, with the stoves and advocates of the capacious and canal furnaces continuing to spar.

This article explores the world of Dutch stoves, including their different types, important specifications, and how to build one yourself. Dutch stoves give a touch of traditional charm to your home while providing an effective and comfortable means of heating it. We’ll walk you through every step of building your own cosy and inviting hearth, from comprehending various models to becoming an expert in masonry. Whether you’re a novice do-it-yourselfer or an experienced one, this guide will give you the know-how to enjoy the coziness and warmth of a Dutch stove in your house.

Optimal characteristics

Typically, use these three parameters to ascertain the furnace’s characteristics:

• heat release with fireplace;
• the ability of channels or caps to absorb and store thermal energy;
• The area of the outer heating surface.

The quantity of coal or firewood divided by the heat-intensiveness of the chosen fuel is multiplied to find the amount of heat released by firegies. After that, they remove between 20 and 30 percent, which is lost through the radiation plate. In the event that the oven doubles as a stove, roughly 10% are lost as a result of irregular burning.

You can somewhat enhance the burning, However, adding a large enough cap to the oven will increase its size, forcing you to decide between a smaller furnace or one with more efficient fuel combustion.

The area of the internal walls of the channels directly affects their capacity to absorb thermal energy; therefore, the channel heating shields are better than the caps, although the latter are less effective at preventing smoke from flowing through them. This is the most crucial parameter because it determines how much thrust is dependent on the height of the chimney and the resistance to the movement of the chimney gases in the stove, particularly in cases where the plate has removable circles.

By using a cap with cuts that create unique channels and approaching capture shield caps in accordance with this parameter to the channel, it is possible to improve the efficiency of thermal energy absorption without maintaining the drawbacks of the previous method.

This approach lessens the possibility of smoke leakage into the room through the slab leaks while maintaining the fundamental workings of the cap, namely the unrestricted flow of gases. As a result, the cap with cuts is growing in popularity.

You cannot, however, increase this parameter arbitrarily because the temperature of the smoke drops as it increases. The lowest value below which too much condensate does not form in the chimney is 150 degrees. The condensate that forms in the pipe does not dry, leaving a semi-liquid substance that dissolves the masonry solution and corrodes the bricks if the temperature does not reach these values, at least by the middle of the furnace.

Another crucial factor is the area of the outer surface, since the larger it is, the more heat it will release into the space in a given amount of time. However, an excessive increase in the outer area will result in the furnace becoming much larger as well as a decrease in the amount of time the room is heated after the furnace has finished.

Because of this, small Dutch stoves with stoves are designed exclusively for firewood. You can eliminate the need for a fuel liner and thus minimize the size of the building. Additionally, the internal surface area of the heating panel decreases with decreasing base size. You can extend or widen the furnace body to five bricks if the stove is built under coal and has a shaft that is big enough (at least 26 by 39 cm).

Is it possible to increase thermal power?

Increasing the size of the furnace will increase the amount of heat it releases because, as we’ve already demonstrated, the thermal power of the "Dutch" with the stove is directly influenced by the size of the firebox and the type of heating shield. However, the size of the hob—which needs to rest on bricks on all sides—limits the firebox’s dimensions.

Some furnace masters attempted to combine the furnace and oven by only placing the plate on bricks on three sides, with the fourth side hanging over the smoke channel. Bricks are laid on top of the remaining hole to seal it, but this is not possible because cast iron expands at a temperature many times faster than brick, causing the masonry above the stove to "move" and eventually crack.

Consequently, there are two approaches to boost thermal power:

• increase in the size of the furnace to the size of the plate;
• Installation of additional furnace without a hob.

The width of the oven typically exceeds the width of a standard brick, so increasing the size of the furnace will result in a cross of the entire structure of a "Dutch," meaning it must be blocked with at least two bricks of the wire or to the castle. In order to block such a space, you typically need a high-quality platform that can support the overlapping bricks for at least half of their length.

The issue arises from the fact that, in small-sized stoves, the case’s outer wall serves as the first support and the furnace lining as its second support. Ordinary and chamotis brick expand at different temperatures, which This rapidly causes the lid to crack and smoke leaks to appear.

The oven’s roof faces won’t have any issues if the house’s design permits you to install a stove the size of a 4 by 5 or 5 by 5 brick because the support for the oven’s roof is laid out starting from the second row without joining it to the chamotum nucleus. In this instance, supports that expand at the same temperature are obtained, preventing the lid from deforming and ensuring a ten-year lifespan with the appropriate firebox.

Even with an expanded firebox, the thermal power is still restricted because the fire cools down more quickly with a hotter fire. In these situations, it is best to build a separate furnace rather than relying on a heating shield that is only placed next to the furnace.

In this instance, the firebox with the higher power is utilized for heating, and the fuel chamber with the hob is directly connected to the smoke pipe. Because the oven and plate are only used for cooking, smoke from them won’t enter the heating shields or condense to settle on the walls of the stove, making it the most dependable option available.

How to fold such a stove with your own hands?

If you choose to fold this kind of stove yourself, you will need a properly ordered stove that not only fits the furnace’s dimensions in the room layout, but also was delivered free of the most frequent errors. Ultimately, the majority of online videos feature designs in which the firebox and oven appear to be almost preoccupied with one another. This is why one side of the plate is suspended in midair, and the firebox cover is situated atop the chamotum nucleus.

On Igor Kuznetsov’s official website, you can find accurate estimations. Furthermore, you’ll find a wealth of helpful information on a variety of topical forums, where members talk about these stoves and frequently only the original "Dutch" name is left.

Along with the dashing, these resources include pictures of stoves with different modifications that include an oven and heating hob, along with instructions on how to build them yourself and how much the materials will probably cost.

The original Dutch stove had a low, highly demanding heating panel with vertical channels, and neither gols nor stoves.

After determining the order, Determine how many materials are needed for the construction stoves. If bricks are split or you cut them wrong for any other reason, take precautions and leave a small (5–10%) margin. Since you will frequently need to cut a brick when erecting a "Dutch" with a stove, use a stone-cutting machine or something similar that you make yourself.

Location in the house

There are a few things to consider when setting up a "Dutch" with a stove in the home, but these are the main ones:

• size and shape of the premises;
• wall material;
• ceiling overlap material;
• The structure of the roof.

The Dutchman heats the air and any surfaces that are impacted by its thermal radiation when it is in the heating mode because nearly its whole surface is emitting heat. On the internet, rollers are frequently used to mount stoves against walls. This is done to overcome the stove’s inability to fit inside the room, but the installation drastically lowers heating efficiency because the closer the furnace’s surface is to the wall, the less airflow there is.

However, positioning it in the middle of the space isn’t always effective, particularly if the stove is sufficiently big. Thus, the space in the wall between the two adjoining rooms is the best location to install the "Dutch" with the stove. The size of the house’s heat-emitting surfaces and heat loss determine how much space such a design can heat at the same time.

It is thought that in a well-insulated home with standard ventilation, 100 watts of thermal energy per hour is sufficient for heating one square meter of space. This equates to a house with two rooms, totaling 30 m2, and a furnace with a 3 kW hourly thermal power.

Additionally, consider the ceiling and lid structures, as you will need to draw a chimney through them before sealing the roof. The simplest way to seal the roof is if the chimney goes through the middle of the ridge. However, this isn’t always possible, so you’ll need to install a "otter," which is a tin or cement-sand mortar protective casing that allows water to avoid the chimney.

Preparation of the foundation

Since the Dutch stove weighs more than two tons almost always, it cannot be placed directly on a wooden floor and should not be placed on hollow plates made of concrete. As such, when building a house, it is best to lay the foundation beneath the heating device.

If you choose to install a "Dutch" in a prefabricated home, you will need to excavate a hole, cut the floors, and perform additional tasks. The dimensions of the upper part of the foundation should be 10–20 cm larger in each direction than the base of the heating device in order to ensure that the weight of the stove is distributed evenly on the ground and the foundation is dependable.

The exact amount depends on the mass of the built structure and the properties of the soil. The lower portion of the foundation’s dimensions should be 30 to 100 cm larger than the furnace’s base. Make sure to place pillows of crushed stone and sand beneath the foundation base, making sure the pillows’ combined dimensions are 20 to 50 centimeters larger than the foundation base.

In order to heat two rooms simultaneously, if you choose to install a stove in a wall opening, the stove’s foundation must be built around the interior wall’s foundation. All reinforced concrete jumpers must then be combined at the floor level.

If you’ve never done calculations or haven’t built a foundation yourself, hire an expert; the cost will be significantly less than having to modify the furnace as a whole because a poorly laid base could chip or crack.

Stove masonry, attaching doors and oven

The masonry of any other stove is identical to that of this one in terms of laying. A ready-made or homemade clay-sand mixture is used as a masonry solution. Use high-temperature compounds containing chamotum clay for masonry with a chamotum nucleus to reduce the appearance of cracks caused by the different temperature expansion of conventional and chamotical clay.

If you choose to use a heating shield cap rather than a canal, then rather than cleaning With the exception of the doors that close hermetically, the extinguished bricks are more sealed, so there won’t be any smoke emissions into the space or air suction into the cap. Because the ash door is not in the high temperature zone, fix it however is most convenient.

Make sure to cover the oven with a 0.5–1 cm thick layer of kaolin wool or basalt cardboard before installing it. Since this area is exposed to high temperatures, free oxygen—a component of stove smoke—will react with the carbon and iron that are used to make steel ovens if protection is not provided.

Since the oven body only supports the furnace’s laying, arrange the furnace’s body according to the oven’s dimensions before inserting the latter and covering it with insulation. She needs to make a noticeable effort when she arrives, as this will guarantee that the box is fixed correctly.

Recall that using the oven box as a support for the upper row’s bricks is not permitted; doing so will erode the masonry and harm the oven box.

Installation of a hob

It is necessary to install the latter on bricks from all sides in order to prevent breaking the smoke from underneath it. Certain stovers only place three of the stove’s four sides on the bricks, leaving the fourth unsupported, which raises the risk of smoke spilling into the room.

Furthermore, it is highly recommended that the stove be installed in a sample on the upper row of bricks. This will not only significantly reduce the chance of smoke spilling into the room, but it will also prevent you from removing the stove from the furnace and dropping a heavy pan on it. If there’s not basalt cardboard or kaolin cotton wool between the stove and the bricks, use a pantry solution.

The thermal gap between the hob and the chosen upper row of bricks is one of the requirements for the furnace to operate with the stove for an extended period of time; the ideal gap size is 5-7 mm, and the space between the stove and brick is filled with sand or ash.

Smaller thermal gaps will cause the stove’s expansion in the furnace to push the upper row of bricks, eventually causing cracks. Because the masonry becomes weaker with each extension, the upper row pantry will eventually develop cracks that allow smoke and cold air from the furnace to enter the space.

Installation of valves

It is simply impossible to place the valves—also known as shutters or windows—between the brick rows because they will shatter the masonry because they are made of cast iron and are thicker than two centimeters.

As a result, create a sample for this device in the lower row of bricks so that the vyushka won’t protrude above the masonry and won’t interfere with the upper row’s bricklaying procedure. The summer and basic shifts can be pushed into a sample with a standard pantry solution because the temperature in the installation area is not higher than 300 degrees Celsius.

The construction of the chimney

The thermal power of the furnace, which determines the internal cross section of the chimney without accounting for the influence of the hob, is measured by potential rather than heat released by the furnace. For instance, the furnace measures 39 by 24 by 39 cm (length, width, and depth), or 0.04 m^^rounded.

You can only supply firewood to fill half the furnace’s volume, or 0.02 m3, for efficient combustion. Because the density of Acacia is 750 kg/m^3, 12–15 kg of firewood can fit inside of such a furnace. Acacia has a heating capacity of about 4 kW/kg per hour; hence, the firebox’s maximum power can be 48–60 kW.

For every kilowatt-hour of furnace power, a minimum chimney section of 8 cm 2 is required. Consequently, a furnace of this type needs a chimney section between 385 and 480 cm 2, or roughly half the size of an average red brick.

The chimney cross section must therefore correspond to a power of 4.5–5.0 kW/h, which in a 12-hour period is 55–65 kW, despite the low thermal power of the heating shield (optimally 2.5–3.5 kW/h). In addition, there is the power of the furnace. If you cut off a portion of the chimney, there won’t be enough firewood or coal to fill the traction he made, and some smoke will enter the room.

Fire cutting and other safety measures

Take careful note of SNiP 41-01-2003 (SP 60.13330.2010) "Heating, ventilation and air conditioning," section 6.6 "stove heating," as it outlines the primary fire requirements.

It outlines the bare minimum allowed separations to:

The distance between them and brick or wooden surfaces, including ceilings, varies depending on the material used to make or line them. Additionally, in order to prevent overheating and ignition of the ceiling’s wooden components, a rubble must be created when conducting a chimney through the overlap.

An excellent option to consider if you’re thinking about replacing the heating system in your home is a "Dutch" stove. These stoves, which are well-known for their charm and efficiency, are available in a range of sizes and styles to suit a variety of requirements. There’s probably a Dutch stove out there that meets your needs, whether you’re looking for a dependable source of warmth for your entire house or a nice addition to your living room.
