Construction of the oven with your own hands. Reality or a dream?

Basic types of

furnaces If you still decide to apply your skills, we suggest familiarizing yourself with the main types of furnaces:

1. Heating furnaces. Their design is specifically designed exclusively for heating the room. It is not difficult to build them, and quite quickly.
2. Heating and cooking ovens. This type is most in demand, because thanks to the design it is possible to save a lot on gas and prepare food on a living fire. In addition, such food will be much tastier. In some models, not only a cast-iron stove with unique "burners" is built in, but also an oven where deliciously tasty pies are obtained.
3. Furnaces-fireplaces. The fireplace in the house with an open fire and a rocking chair next to it is just a dream of any owner. By their heat-generating characteristics fireplaces are not inferior to other types, but aesthetically they are more attractive. Fireplaces are now at the peak of popularity of

Whatever type of stove you choose, one must remember the requirements of fire safety. The first step is to determine the location of the heating structure and to understand the device of a particular type of furnace.

Location selection

1. Location in the middle of the room. Heat will be distributed evenly throughout the house, warming up from all sides, and all sides of the structure will participate in heat exchange. However, it takes up a lot of space. Acceptable option, if located will be approximately in the center of the house in adjacent partitions.
2. At the wall. Frequent choice of homeowners, in which convection flows from windows and doors will move along the bottom - "pulling on the legs."

When choosing a location, you should also take into account that the furnace door is located in a room where guests rarely come in, so that the dust from the coal does not spread around the house.

Furnace arrangement

Furnace drawings should provide for a foundation, i.e.concrete base. The furnaces are quite simple. The cooking and heating structure consists of:

• firebox, where the maximum possible amount of fuel should be contained. The volume of the firebox is calculated based on the volume of the heated room, the type of fuel, the heating output. The firebox is laid out of refractory bricks with a wall thickness of the firebox in a half-brick;
• an ash chamber, where the spent ash is collected, and also air is supplied to the fuel through it. Arrange the camera under the bars and cover the door;
• chimney. This is the most basic element of the furnace, reminiscent of the design of the coil. The flue passes through itself hot flue gases, which pass through the pipe to heat the coarse and the room. The main thing is not to overdo with a lot of bends, which will interfere with the free movement of gases and the productive heating of the house.

Furnace laying

The main thing in the durability of the furnace is a quality solution. Apply a mixture of clay and sand, which has sufficient viscosity, strength and durability.

Preparation of

solution Clay should be poured with water until it becomes wet, then carefully place and pass through a sieve. Then add the sand. A properly prepared solution is guaranteed to extend the life of the furnace.

Stages of laying the furnace

First you need to build a foundation. A month later, they begin to build an oven. Stages of masonry:

1. Ashtray, the bottom of the first hood with a pivot.
2. A grate is installed above the ash pan, forming a grate.
3. Firing chamber, the inner walls of which should be laid on the edge with fireclay bricks.
4. Installation of the furnace door on steel wire.
5. Overlap of the firebox on the twelfth row. Lay the iron plate with a level.
6. Masonry of the first hood on the left and summer.
7. Stacking of the walls of the cooking chamber.
8. Simultaneously, we continue the construction of the summer on the left. It is necessary for lighting the furnace.
9. 20 series - overlapping hood and cooking chamber.
10. Do not forget about the holes in the continuous masonry for the lifting duct.
11. Masonry of the upper hood up to the top of the wall.
12. Overlapping the upper hood with two rows of bricks.
13. Chimney installation.

This simple task, however, requires a careful study of the schemes, drawings, and the steady pursuit of building technologies. Only thanks to the qualitative materials and diligence of the master the stove for many years will warm the inhabitants of the house.
