Criteria for choosing equipment for a summer house

In order not to make a mistake in choosing and avoid the above-mentioned problems, check equipment compliance with all criteria: design, material and fuel type matter room conditions and correct placement there are devices in it.

Construction and materials. What is the surface of the slab made of?

By type of construction furnaces are allocated three main types:

• stationary — do not require movement and are often built on their own foundation;
• mobile — do not have their own foundation and can be moved using equipment;
• mobile — are compact, usually do not have a permanent chimney, are placed in a convenient room near a window, and can be removed for the winter.

Choice material affects many features of future operation, and each option has its own advantages:

1. Brick - has traditionally been widely used in our country, and is well suited for building such models as Dutch, Swedish, equipped with a hob. The brick heats up slowly and has high heat capacity, giving off heat to the entire house. The kitchen does not overheat, as the cooking process is hidden by a damper. If a hob is installed, it is recommended to place the device in a special niche. Disadvantage brick devices will be their big weight, requiring the installation of a separate foundation.
2. Metal — most commonly used steel. Furnaces made of this material are the most common due to its small size and weight, and also low cost. They are convenient for connecting various modifications, for example, water or air circuit or boiler for heating water. Flaw welding devices - their fragility, steel burns out quickly and requires replacement.
3. Cast iron — due to its heat capacity, durability, it does not dissipate heat and is well suited for performing the functions of a kitchen stove. Cast iron devices durable, reliable, compact by size. Flaws — high price, heavy weight, fragility material if the operating rules are not followed. Damaged cast iron cannot be repaired.

The type of fuel is crucial when choosing a cooking stove, as it is the degree of heating depends on it slabs.

1. Solid fuel - firewood, coal, pieces of dried peat. Used more often, due to its versatility, fits most ovens and can be used for heating the room and cooking.
2. Gas — the most effective material for cooking devices, the directed flame of the burner quickly heats the bottom of the cookware, without wasting heat on heating the walls of the firebox.
3. Electricity — convenient but expensive an option that rarely justifies itself in suburban housing conditions.

In our country, due to its availability the most popular is solid fuel (heating is mainly wood-fired). Minus it will be heat dissipation due to the lack of flame direction. This problem is partially solved by using detachable burners.

The area of ​​the room affects how quickly it will warm up, so not recommended install the device in small rooms.

They definitely do it. sheathing walls, ceiling and floor fire resistant non-flammable materials. The chimney is insulated and install it according to the rules so that the flow of hot smoke and flying smoldering pieces of ash do not cause a roof fire.
