Varieties of heating wood stoves

How to choose the stove with wood

Manufacturers heating stoves made of two types:

• continuous burning;
• Periodic burning.

However, in the home often use the first type of oven, as they are more economical and can work continuously for several days due to the gradual decay of wood.

long burning furnaces operate as follows: in a special metal case is placed a heat exchanger with a certain gap between their walls.In operation, air in the oven space is heated and heats the room.

material for the manufacture of wood-burning stoves is:

• Heat-resistant stainless steel for about 5 mm thick.The service life of these units up to 10 years.
• Iron, which keeps the heat much longer and thus become stronger.The use of this material increases the service life of equipment up to 25 years.However, these stoves have one major drawback: fragility.Warms (tempering) such a structure should be gradually and then it will last for many years.
• Pottery, the main advantage of which is the low weight that allows you to transfer such equipment to any part of the house;
• Bricks - the most durable and reliable material.

advantages of metal wood stoves

Advantages of metal heating units:

• The ease and speed of installation and dismantling, simply move the stove to the right place for you;
• Low weight up to 200 kg, in which there is no need in setting the foundation for a device;
• They are used not only for heating but also for cooking food;
• is an ideal option for an additional heating, as well as for the rapid creation of heat such as in the country, which is not a place of permanent residence and in long-term absence of owners quickly cools;

Indigirka - technological innovation

Indigirka is a boiler-heating furnace having a built-in electric generator, whose function is to convert thermal energy into electrical energy.To date, this construction is the most advanced heater designed "Termofor" engineers.

Such unit at full load operating current is able to generate up to 50 watts and voltage of 10-12 volts after 10 minutes after ignition of wood.

In case of emergency or other unforeseen situations such furnace will be a real salvation, because the housing will provide not only warmth, but also so familiar and essential to modern man electricity.

Indigirka weight about 54 kg, and the price may vary depending on the region and the availability of additional functions.

Increase oven heat with wood

much nicer at the lowest cost to get the most out.Applicable such a statement and for heating with wood stoves.

method of increasing the heat transfer can be more:

• Use firewood from hardwood (birch, beech, oak).For example, birch give the heat by 25% more than the aspen or alder;
• Stoke only well dried wood, the higher the moisture content of fuel - the less heat they give;
• fins (surfacing) or cast iron casing with metal strips, due to which increases heat exchange area;
