• Ashtray (ash pit), covered with top brickwork.In his wake wood coals, so regular cleaning of the blower is needed to ensure ventilation and better combustion of wood;
• grate made of steel or cast iron;
• firebox, in which the wood burning process.The larger it is, the higher the efficiency of the furnace operation;
• Chimney to output outside the housing of the combustion products.

When the project heating and cooking stoves provide a few additional elements - jumper for controlling the direction of the furnace gases, stove for cooking and hot water tank is built.

• ratio of sand and clay in a solution - 1/5, depending on the quality of the clay;
• before use clay soaked in water for several days;
• Ready mixture should not spread and stick to Kelme;

solution layer thickness affects the strength of the masonry and the duration of its operation.The thicker the layer, the quicker the required repair.

Do not forget about safety.To avoid the risk of fire help iron sheet in front of the furnace, as well as filling the gap between the chimney and the ceiling in any non-combustible material with low thermal conductivity.
