Cast iron and steel fireplace stoves

Stove heating remains the most affordable option for heating a private house. It is convenient for seasonal living 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 ranges of models of stoves and fireplaces that are in demand in the CIS.

Purpose of the article: provide complete information about the 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 space or from 100 to 300 m³ of residential space.

Educational program for choosing a furnace

The time of bourgeoisie has long passed, and now with a dozen manufacturers offer thoughtful designs of furnaces for every taste. They do not require reinforcement of the foundation and cladding, 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.

Criterias of choice

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 for ceiling heights of up to 2.5 m, as well as full insulation of the building. They choose not so much by area as 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 precise reference, the main thing is that the calculated value for the heated room falls into the range of the heated volume.
Material	steel	+ wide selection + reasonable prices, + repairable, + lighter than cast iron, - cool quickly, - steel burns out, is subject to corrosion
	cast iron	+ keep warm longer + a large selection of design solutions, + more durable than steel, + can withstand high temperatures + are not subject to corrosion, - heavier than steel, - more expensive than steel, - less choice of models
Design	emitting	Infrared heating is used in most models. In this case, the room is heated as the natural air circulation. First, the nearby walls, floor, interior items are heated, and already from them - the air around. + simplicity of design, - uneven heating of the room, next to the oven is much warmer than in other parts of the room
	convection	Due to the casing and the holes in its upper and lower parts, a convection flow is created, providing intensive heat transfer. + fast heating of the room, + uniform distribution of air temperature, - powerful streams of warm air carry away dust, - the casing increases the size of the structure, - the cost is higher compared to conventional models
	with heat exchanger	The water jacket allows you to directly transfer heat to the coolant that circulates through the water heating system.
	with hob	Some models have a burner for heating food on the upper plane. It can be continuous in the form of a round thickening 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 cannot admire the flame of fire and visually control the progress of combustion without opening the door.
	transparent	Glass in the door enhances the functionality of the fireplace stove. It becomes a source of radiant heat and additional lighting.It’s easier to control the degree of fuel combustion. However, the glass may crack, become covered with soot. It is necessary to choose models in which glass is attached to the door around the entire perimeter of the opening, rather than pointwise. In this case, it will warm up evenly and 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 case and its design. Most options with a free location. Such models are designed to heat one room. Corner models have a triangular or trapezoidal base shape for the most tight installation in a free angle. For heating two adjacent rooms, models with through ducts are used, through which air passes, heating from the walls of the furnace.
	angular
	in the wall
Burning time	periodic	3-4 hours. Suitable if the stove is used as a secondary source of heat for permanent residence in a private house or as the main source for seasonal residence in the country.
	long	6-8 hours. Due to the fine adjustment of the air supply, the presence of nozzles for complete afterburning of fuel, a smoldering mode is available - a constant furnace temperature is maintained and, as a result, the room temperature.
Connection to the chimney	behind	The first bend of the chimney during inept operation of the furnace will overheat. But it is possible to ensure normal discharge of the pyrogenetic liquid, avoiding its ingress into the furnace.
	from above	The chimney is discharged through the ceiling to the roof or through an elbow along the wall. Provides maximum traction when compared to a comparable chimney height and rear connection. Compared to the rear connection, when connected from above, the stove looks more bulky.
	back or top	You can connect in different ways. In this case, the alternative connection will be muffled.
Firebox protection	is 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	Replaceable metal panels protect the furnace material from burning.
	fireclay brick	Heat-resistant material that protects the steel furnace from direct exposure to hot coals.

What else is important?

The main fuel for fireplace stoves is firewood. Logs can have different sizes, and this must be taken into account. The larger their size, the easier and faster to prepare firewood and put them in the furnace. The manufacturer usually indicates the maximum allowable log length, and it is better if in your oven this value is not less than 300 mm. If you go to the store, be sure to bring 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 furnace, which manufacturers often do not indicate in the specification.

1. Fire battery (TMF, Russia)

Termofor Company (after rebranding in 2017 - TMF) is a Novosibirsk manufacturer of furnace equipment for the home, summer cottage and bathhouse. Positions itself as No. 1 in Russia. One of the company's know-how is the development of a steel Fire-Battery oven. According to the manufacturer, when creating this model of long burning, all the shortcomings of existing structures were taken into account. It is available in four versions: the basic model without additional identifiers - with a cast iron burner, glass in the door, Light - the simplest model, without a hob and a sight glass in the door. Both options can have an additional water heat exchanger for heating water, then the furnace 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 fine-tuning the draft and a special lock in the ash pan, which prevents uncontrolled air intake. You can enter the smoldering mode, in which the operation of the furnace from one load is stretched to 8 hours. There is a jet to ensure complete combustion of fuel. The chimney is discharged either backward or immediately upward. The model is durable because it provides removable protection for the firebox - in its lower part above the cast iron grate there are installed inclined intermediate steel sheets.

* In parentheses are the costs for modifications of the main model (light - without hob / B - with a heat exchanger tank / light B)

Impressions of the application. The popularity of this model is easily explained - it has no obvious shortcomings. But at the same time, it supports long burning up to 8 hours; any wood waste can be used as fuel. Compact, suitable for installation even in a small room. Heats up the calculated air volume quickly: from 0 ° C to + 25 ° C in 40-50 minutes. Withstands serious violations of operating modes not recommended by the manufacturer. There are cases when such a furnace was bought for one season and heated to the limit, heating twice as much volume as indicated in the passport. However, the model is tenacious and maintainable. In the modification with a hob, smoke from a cast-iron pancake is possible. This is observed at the stage of ignition with an open ash box. Operational problems can be caused by improper installation of the chimney and the use of raw firewood.

2. Matrix (Teplodar, Russia)

The Russian company Teplodar specializes in the production of steel boilers and furnace equipment for baths and saunas, houses and summer cottages. It has been operating since 1997. The most popular model of the furnace is called the Matrix. Available in two versions: for heating 100 and 200 m³. These are long-burning wood-burning stoves, which in smoldering mode on a single tab of firewood work up to 8 hours. The slot-hole convector casing provides effective heat removal, evenly distributing air throughout the room. Doors in both models are equipped with heat-resistant glass.There are afterburners (jets) to maintain the smoldering mode, a rotary gate, which allows you to bring the chimney up or back. A closed hob is provided for cooking.

price, rub.	12 000	17 000

Impressions of the application. As with most other stoves, it is recommended that the first firebox be done on the street so that the burn-out paintwork does not fill the room with caustic smoke. Not everyone listens to the manufacturer's recommendations, so there is dissatisfaction with an extraneous 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 on the street. To maintain the temperature during the day + 20 ° C at -20 ° C on the street, it is enough to use only 8-10 logs for the Matrix-100 model. Compact, 200 cubic meter version has a large glass in the door that does not get dirty when using dry wood.

3. Ardenfire (META, Russia)

GC Meta specializes in the manufacture of furnaces, furnaces, cladding and accessories for furnace equipment. This is a Russian manufacturer, 20 years on the market. The range of fireplaces we are interested in includes steel and cast iron products. The latter are produced in a separate line of Ardenfire, in particular, the Marseille models 7, 10 and 14. 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: large glass in the door with the "clean glass" system, firewood and brown coal can be used as fuel, there is a secondary afterburner.

Impressions of the application. Powerful cast-iron stoves that easily fit into the interior of a country house. Large firebox, standard size firewood is suitable. The heat from the body is transmitted by radiation, so the room is not heated as quickly as in structures with convection elements. Long burning is not provided, but due to the massiveness of the furnace, it cools down for 2-3 hours with an average burning time of 2 hours on one tab. The design is simple, but the large glass area of ​​the door gives it a special charm due to the bewitching look of burning logs.

5. Andorra (THORMA, Slovakia)

The Slovak company Torma boasts over a 100-year history 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 Andorra in a cylindrical shape. This is a steel furnace with chamotte lining and a cast-iron grate. As fuel, you can use wood or brown coal briquettes. There is an external air inlet through a separate pipe, there is a function of long burning. The Exclusive swivel model deserves special attention: the stove can be rotated around its axis and observe the flame from anywhere in the room.

Weight kg	110	95
price, rub.	69 400	77 000

Impressions of the application. Both modifications have the function of long burning, in which the access of oxygen to the combustion chamber is limited. Available in black and gray. Most discussions of the Exclusive swivel model, which can be put at the junction of two zones, for example, the living room and the kitchen. In this case, the real rotation angle is 90 degrees, i.e. the furnace cannot be fully expanded, and this is not necessary given the laconic design of the back wall. The turning mechanism is step-by-step; effort is required and the use of a special handle fixed under the firebox - do not rotate the working furnace behind the case. The 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)

Products of the Polish manufacturer Kratki are known in Europe since 1998. After a couple of years, they began to actively promote it in the CIS. To date, the equipment of this TM is available in 56 countries. The range includes fireplaces, freestanding stoves, bio-fireplaces and accessories to all of the above. One of the running lines is Koza K, a cast-iron Victorian-style equipment. The manufacturer offers several varieties of each of the models: with decorated doors, made of steel or cast iron, with a turbine, water circuit, thermostat or without them. Inside the firebox is completely lined with fireproof ceramics. There is a “clean glass” system against soot and a pipe for supplying air from the outside - a convenient function if it is important not to dry the air in a heated room.

Weight kg	115	75	160
price, rub.	56 400	32 000	61 000

Impressions of the application. An important advantage of the line is the appearance. Large firebox for 9-10 logs, a large glass that maintains cleanliness. 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 a comfortable room temperature for 5-6 hours. If the case itself is massive and there is no doubt in its strength, then against its background the quality of the fittings is average. Gate valves are made of thin steel, the door handle eventually ceases to sit securely in place. It is likely that after a couple of years the hardware 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 been specializing in equipment for wood heating since 1878. It is this manufacturer who is the pioneer in the design of the combustion chamber of the furnace with controlled combustion. Supra offers cast iron and steel stoves and fireplaces for heating private homes of any size. Two cast-iron models that have a similar design but differ in details came into our view. Both have a cylindrical shape with a meter-long elongated glass in the door. Long burning up to 10 hours, a clean glass system is provided. The coating is black enamel resistant to abrasion.

Size mm	480x1150x480	510x1220x450
Weight kg	152	161
price, rub.	77 000	77 000

Impressions of the application. Tomera is a very popular model of cast iron, so the network has many positive reviews about its operation. They praise not only the appearance, compactness and heat dissipation, but also the ability to use long logs, as well as briquettes. What problems may arise is the transportation of the furnace from the machine to its place in the house, if it is planned on its own. The furnace is very heavy, it is better to carry four together, using special belts. There were cases when the product was dropped, and cast iron does not tolerate this, it cracks. Regarding long burning, real indicators are at the level of 6-7 hours. For example, a complete bookmark for the night burns from 23 hours to 5 in the morning at a temperature outside of -25 ° C.

8. Ghisa (La Nordica, Italy)

The Italian company La Nordica was founded in 1968 and is represented on the wood heating market for the past 50 years. Products are shipped to 50 countries. The manufacturer's range includes ultra-modern, classic and rustic-style models - for heating, cooking, water heating.

Our collection includes 3 models with female names. All are made of cast iron and, which is quite rare, convective heat transfer is realized in Isetta and Isotta: there is a space for air circulation between the furnace and the body. Another feature is the side loading door in the Isetta and Isotta models! In this case, Giulietta is the simplest of the selection, suitable for seasonal use in the country.

Weight kg	105	150	190
price, rub.	84 700	105 700	127 400

Impressions of the application. Such furnaces are taken for 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 problem of heating a country house for the next 10 years. Logs up to 400 mm long can be thrown into the furnace, while a complete bookmark is enough for 4-5 hours to maintain a comfortable temperature at -15 ° C on the street. The rooms warm up quickly: Isotta at 9 kW in a 100 m² heated house raises the temperature from + 5 ° C to + 25 ° C in 1-1.5 hours at -5 ° C on the street. Among the minuses can only be called the top connection of the chimney.

Constructive decisions

The fireplace stove is made, in most cases, of steel and cast iron.

Steel - have impressive weight and thick walls. They heat up quickly and also cool down quickly, designed for small rooms - cottages, country houses.

Cast iron - by mass, not much more, but warm up longer, can heat large rooms, the cost is higher. Cast iron stoves fireplaces are chosen mainly for the home.

Cladding - ceramics, stone, less often - brick. Quickly heat the room. A sufficiently large viewing glass will make it possible to admire the game of fire.

Doors can be straight semicircular and triangular. The opening mechanism may also vary - to the side or up. To keep the glass of the door always clear, there is a clean glass option for fireplace stoves - the air flow is supplied to the glass from the inside, forming an air cushion, it prevents soot from settling on the glass. Through the door, firewood is also placed in the combustion chamber. The efficiency of closed fireplaces is quite high - 80-90%.

The combustion process and the consumption of firewood can be controlled by yourself, increasing or decreasing the air supply. You can save even more on fuel by using fuel briquettes - compressed sawdust, which is much more efficient in terms of fuel quality.

Some models have a built-in heat exchanger in their design. With it, you can heat adjacent rooms by installing radiators, even if there is a blank partition. Of particular note is the design with a water circuit - this is a good solution for permanent homes.

Beauty, comfort, warm home. What else can fireplaces give you as an oven? Tasty dinner. As in a traditional Russian oven, they can cook and heat food and even cook kebabs on an open fire. It’s up to you to choose a stove or fireplace, or two in one.

How to choose and what to pay attention to?

The following tips:

1. Pay attention to power and efficiency. The indicators are indicated in the technical specifications of the model. Power is determined in cubic centimeters: how much heat the stove can heat. The higher it is, the more productive the device. Also with efficiency - the higher the percentage, the longer the heat is stored in the room.
2. Body material. Stoves are made of cast iron, steel, brick. There are combined models. During the selection, it is worth starting from personal beliefs, since all materials have only positive qualities.
3. Burning time. The minimum time for heating from one bookmark of firewood is from 4 hours. Good models are able to maintain heat indoors without refueling for 12 hours.
4. Type of fuel. Fireplaces consume firewood, coal or peat briquettes. The choice in favor of a particular type of fuel depends on the preferences and financial capabilities of the person.
5. Chimney diameter. The wider the element, the better the combustion products. A good option is a chimney with a diameter of 14 cm.

Disadvantages of Natural Burning Fireplaces

Traditional open hearth fireplaces ceased to meet modern consumer requirements. They create an atmosphere of warmth and coziness in the room, but they are inferior in efficiency even to a Russian stove or a Dutch woman. The inability to control the air flow necessary for the combustion of solid fuels is the main reason for their low efficiency. In classic models, it rarely exceeds 20%.

The main disadvantages of conventional fireplace stoves:

• solid fuel often does not burn completely, leaving a large amount of a mixture of ash and coal on the grate
• unregulated strong draft leads to intensive intake of external cold air into the room, for the heating of which additional energy needs to be spent,
• unburned soot particles, harmful carbon monoxide (carbon monoxide), and other gaseous products of thermal decomposition of organic substances fly out of the chimney.

The operation of a traditional fireplace is not only economically unprofitable, but also adversely affects the environmental background around the building. It is no coincidence that throughout the world there has been an increase in the popularity of long burning stoves, which are devoid of the above disadvantages.

Advantages of long burning stoves

The main feature of a modern fireplace stove is the regulated process of burning solid fuel, which occurs in the main chamber with some oxygen deficiency. Firewood in this mode does not flash with a bright flame, but smolders for a long time. At the same time, a temperature sufficient for pyrolysis is maintained - decomposition of high molecular weight compounds to simple gases, including CO. They completely burn out at the exit of the furnace, where additional air enters in the required quantities. As a result, the maximum amount of heat is generated and no harmful emissions occur.

Unlike a pyrolysis boiler, a fireplace stove does not need additional energy sources. She does not need a forced air supply, which in this case comes from natural draft in two streams:

• primary air is supplied to the lower part of the main combustion chamber,
• secondary air is mixed with the exhaust gases at the outlet of the furnace.

The best fireplace stoves arranged in this way demonstrate an efficiency of 75-85%. They require a small bookmark of firewood and do not need to be added for a long time, providing long-term heating of the room. The main process of heat transfer in them occurs due to thermal radiation, but there are convection fireplaces that supply heated air through pipelines to neighboring rooms. At the same time, all such devices retain the main advantage of an ordinary fireplace - the ability to admire the playing flames.

Design Features

The gas-dynamic processes taking place in the furnace of a fireplace with a high level of efficiency depend on many parameters. It is hardly possible to independently achieve the optimal design based on clay and fireclay bricks. It is better to give preference to factory developments that have passed the design stage and repeated tests in a variety of operating modes. They are a ready-made technical device that you just need to correctly install in place and operate in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.

For the installation of a fireplace stove, it is not necessary to specially prepare the foundation or a niche of brick or stone. The device is mounted in compliance with fire safety regulations to an empty place and pipes are connected to it for the removal of flue gases.

The fireplace itself is a sturdy case with the necessary devices installed inside it. Doors are usually made of heat resistant glass.It is blown with secondary air directed into the exhaust gas afterburner, which prevents soot from settling.

The device and scheme of operation of a long-burning furnace.

Applicable Materials

In the manufacture of the main elements of fireplace stoves, cast iron is often used. It easily tolerates numerous heating and cooling cycles. Such material is almost not subject to corrosion. He needs a little more time to warm up, but he keeps the heat longer.

Cast iron fireplace stove.

Heat-resistant steel grades are considered a worthy alternative to cast iron. Some manufacturers are actively using stainless steel. Steel products weigh less and are easier to manufacture.

Steel fireplace stove.

With prolonged contact with an open flame, it is likely that they will lose their strength characteristics and burnout, therefore, cases of high-quality fireplaces made of steel are usually protected from the inside by a lining.

To do this, apply:

• fireclay tiles or bricks,
• refractory clay mixtures,
• special compositions based on chamotte clay in combination with aluminum and titanium,
• vermiculite protective materials,
• cast iron inserts.

The device of the fireplace stove with lining of vermiculite.

For the outdoor decoration of metal fireplaces, they often use:

• ceramic tile
• decorative rock,
• iron casting
• heat-resistant enamels.

In which case it is advisable to use a fireplace stove with a water jacket

In the absence of alternative sources of heating for a large house, a conventional fireplace stove will not be able to maintain a normal temperature in all rooms. Thermal radiation is not able to penetrate walls and partitions. In such a situation, it is better to purchase a model with a water or air jacket. On their basis, it is possible to create a heating system for each room by adjusting the circulation scheme of the liquid coolant or by organizing the supply of convective air flows through special air ducts.

The device of the heating system of the fireplace stove with a water circuit.

How not to make a mistake with the power of the chosen model

The general rule for calculating the required amount of heat for heating a well-insulated building is also applicable for long-burning stoves. In the general case, for every 10 m 2 of the area of ​​heated rooms, 1 kW of thermal energy is required.

Most fireplaces without a water circuit develop power from 4 to 12 kW. This is enough to heat a small country house or cottage with a total area of ​​up to 150 sq.m.

Fireplaces stoves with a water jacket often reach a power of 25 kW. The manufacturer usually indicates how much of it is released as thermal radiation and how much energy is given to water. These data should be taken into account when choosing a room for installing a fireplace and designing a coolant circulation scheme.

If you have learned the theoretical part of the information presented here without any problems, then you can consider yourself ready to choose a specific model.

How to choose a fireplace stove

1. Fireplace stove power. The productivity of the fireplace stove is selected for a specific house or premises. In order not to make a mistake with the power, it is necessary to calculate the volume of the room. Most often, performance is indicated in cubic meters. Simplified, you can divide the area of ​​the room 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 are made of two materials.
3. Cast Iron Models They have a longer heating time, but they retain heat longer. This type of stove is ideal for houses in which people constantly live.
4. Steel Fireplaces give heat 15-20 minutes after kindling. But as soon as the wood burns out, the stove begins to cool quickly. Heating devices made of steel are ideal for summer residents who come for a weekend in the cold outside the city.
5. Decoration Materials. To increase the safety of residents during the operation of the fireplace stove, as well as improve its appearance, manufacturers trim the outer surface. The best option is 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 burning time on one tab becomes an important characteristic of the fireplace stove. In order not to disturb the sleep of residents, the efficiency of the furnace should be 6-8 hours. Otherwise, the cold will make you wake up and toss firewood into the furnace.
7. Type of fuel. There are many sources of energy that can be used in fireplace stoves.
8. The simplest and most affordable types of fuel for residents of Russia are firewood. They quickly give heat, can smolder 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 are able to smolder slowly all night, creating a comfortable atmosphere in the house. But to kindle such fuel without firewood is very difficult, and after combustion it is necessary to remove a lot of sludge from the furnace.
