Types of fireplace stoves
The stove industry allows the use of various materials in the construction of wood-burning heaters. But basically, oven manufacturers present a wide range of models, which are divided into three types:
- metal
- brick
- combined.
It will not be difficult to make brickwork or a welded case according to the scheme with your own hands. In addition, all components are available for free sale. The main condition for a successful project is strict adherence to building codes and construction plans.
Ordering and laying
Preparatory stage of work
In order to fold the fireplace Kuznetsov's stove with our own hands, we need the following materials:
- About 160 kilograms of sand;
- Red brick (it is recommended to use exclusively solid brick) - about 800 pieces;
- Fireclay bricks - 70 pieces;
- Refractory clay - about 140 kilograms;
- A door made of cast iron, which, if necessary, can be made on your own using special paired steel sheets;
- Steel wire;
- Grate or prepared fittings;
- Angles and latches for securing all elements and parts.
In order to familiarize yourself with the ordering and stacking process in more detail, we recommend watching the video in this article.
Advice: before starting work, first of all, it is necessary to check each brick separately for the presence of all kinds of cracks and irregularities; it is not recommended to use such bricks for ordering.
Foundation preparation
The optimal foundation will be the one that is built with the house and is connected. If the construction of the house has already been fully completed, it is necessary to build a detached foundation. In order for the furnace to be reliably protected, the foundation must be additionally insulated using metal sheets or roofing material.
Order and features
Kuznetsov's fireplace stove: ordering and step-by-step guide:
- For the correct ordering, it is recommended to use a special standard drawing, which must be transferred to the chosen place and make sure that the chimney will be installed correctly in the future.
Detailed instructions:
- The first two rows must be laid out dry using fireclay refractory bricks;
- The bottom of the heating stove should be slightly thicker than all the others;
- The first two rows should be perfectly straight. In order to verify this, use a special building level;
- The second and the next row are laid in such a way that in the future there is a place for the blower and ash pan. Bricks are stacked in a checkerboard pattern;
- The thickness of the seams should not be more than 5 millimeters;
- It is necessary to lay bricks only on a special clay mortar;
- Lay the internal partitions and walls, and then, on the fifth row, install the grate of the required dimensions;
- The gap between the grate and the walls should be no more than 7 millimeters;
- The grate itself is mounted so that it is at a slight angle - this is necessary so that during the combustion process all chips and other combustion products remain inside and do not fall into the room;
- On the fifth row, a hole is also made for installing the fuel chamber. This element must be lined with strictly special fireclay bricks. Masonry is carried out using the lining method, that is, the brick must be laid on its side. This masonry method is used in places that are subject to the most intense heat;
- The sixteenth row is the complete closure of the chamber. Then the second camera is laid out;
- Using the standard scheme, the laying should be continued up to the 26th row, which is completely closed from above with bricks.

How to place a stove with a fireplace in the house more efficiently
Choosing a versatile oven is not the first step in setting up. Initially, the optimal location in the house should be chosen for the heater and the required power of the generated heat should be calculated.
One of the ideal places to locate a fireplace stove with a hob and an oven should rightfully be considered the space between the kitchen and the living room. The side of the fireplace located in the common room will warm residents on chilly evenings and create a romantic backdrop.
Stove-fireplace in the interior of a country house
If it is necessary to heat three rooms, the option of shifting the stove to the third room is suitable. Thus, the firebox and hob will remain in the kitchen, the fireplace area will face the living room, and the side of the heater will be in the third room.
If it is required to locate the hearth in the same room, then the fireplace insert must be planned in the recreation room and provided with good visibility. The hob should be in a convenient location, which requires close proximity to the kitchen. The location of the fireplace in relation to the hob, in this case, has different designs, for example, on the side or, on the opposite side.
Wall-mounted fireplace stoves have both inserts on one side in most cases. This design complicates the simultaneous preparation of food and admiring the open fire, since the approach to the hob will be difficult due to the heat of an open fire.
Design selection factors
Among the many projects presented, not every one is suitable for use in certain conditions. In addition, not everyone is able to fulfill all the requirements of the residents of the house. Therefore, you should familiarize yourself with the basic technical criteria that will have to be adhered to in order to ensure the functional and safe operation of the device.
- The first factor will be the size of the furnace, since the discrepancy in size will not only lead to a violation of the basic functions, but also to the inappropriate use of free space. When deciding on the dimensions, it should be remembered that heat transfer is carried out not only due to the rear and front walls, but also due to the side walls.
- Any stove-fireplace with a stove and an oven performs several functions.The main task that the design sets itself is to ensure smooth operation in all provided modes, which means that the installation of the oven must be performed so that the side walls are facing the room that requires heating, and all cooking devices are on kitchen.
- The shape of the stove is chosen in accordance with the layout of the house. For self-construction, the most suitable design will be square ovens, rectangular or made in the form of the letter "T". In some models, there are protrusions for separate placement of the oven or stove bench.
- Any model is characterized by such a parameter as power. It shows the possibility of heating a room of a certain area. When choosing a project, elementary calculations of the required power should be made.

Some indirect factors are related not to the device, but to the construction, but they will also have to be taken into account. This is the material from which the building is made, the degree of insulation of the house, the wind rose, etc.

Projects of brick stoves with stove and fireplace
Universal stoves with a hob with an open or glazed fireplace insert are the best option for small country houses. Putting a universal stationary oven will not be more difficult than folding the "Swedish" or "Dutch" masonry of standard designs. The master has the opportunity to acquire the ordinal diagrams of the furnace that he is going to build.

Fireplace stove with stove and oven for kitchen-living room
The standard model of the multifunctional oven is designed for installation in living spaces up to 30 m². However, the dimensions of the structure allow you to install this stove in a room half as much as stated in the specification. The structure of the model includes: a single-burner hob and an oven, which is in the area of moderate heating.
Operation of a fireplace stove with a stove is possible in winter and summer modes. Brick quickly absorbs heat and retains it for a long time. Also, this model range should include a fireplace stove with a stove and a heat exchanger. In this case, it is possible to heat additional rooms by circulating a hot water circuit.
According to the calculation, the construction of this modification of the furnace will require:
- bricks - 725 pieces, including refractory bricks for the furnace lining
- oven - 280 X 300 X 520 mm
- hob - 400 x 420 mm
- grate - 180 x 300 mm 2pcs
- view - 2 pcs
- firebox door
- podzolnik door
- steel sheet for the pre-furnace site.
Above the mantelpiece you can make yourself out of wood or stone. If preference is given to wooden material, before it is necessary to make a gasket from an asbestos sheet.
Corner fireplace with stove for a small house
For small country houses, with a combined kitchen-living room, a corner fireplace with a stove is highly popular. The heater's key potential lies in the stove. The fireplace serves as a decorative function in this model and is not designed for long-term burning with a large amount of fuel.
These circumstances allow the use of ceramic bricks for the fireplace insert. But if the owner intends to use the fireplace insert on a regular basis, then it is necessary to make a lining of refractory bricks. To install a standard corner fireplace, 400 bricks will be enough.

Compact metal fireplace stoves
Most people have a dream of a fireplace in their own home. However, not everyone has the opportunity for this venture due to various circumstances.The construction in the house of a massive, full-fledged brick fireplace stove with a hob requires certain technical conditions. It is worth adding to this that the brickwork of the stove is a very expensive task, amounting to tens and even hundreds of thousands of rubles.
Compact fireplace stove with stove
But thanks to the stove industry, consumers are presented with a wide range of compact metal fireplace stoves with hobs and ovens. The process of operation of these devices is designed for convection and does not require complex designs of smoke ducts. In addition, the chimney can be led out through a hole in the wall.
Another undoubted plus is that some portable models of fireplace stoves are equipped with a heat exchanger. They are designed for rooms where there is not enough heat output from the heater. With a heat exchanger, it is possible to connect a section of water radiators, which will be heated due to the circulation of the hot water circuit.
At first glance, installing a portable fireplace stove may not seem like a complicated undertaking. However, the simple construction of the flue pipe and the connection to the heater can cause difficulties for the user. Therefore, it is better to consult a specialist before installation. Violation of the laws of physics will entail a lack of traction and lead to smoke in the room.
The device of a heating oven with a bread chamber
By its design, the baking chamber resembles a chamber for laying stones in a sauna oven, only of a smaller size. The stones are heated in the stove, and pies are baked here. Outside, we close the baking chamber with a special door made of cast iron. From the firebox of the heating stove, fire and hot gas pass through the bread chamber, heating its surface from the inside to a temperature of 300 - 400 degrees, and go on to heat all the walls of the stove. When the wood in the firebox burns out, the bread chamber is ready for use. It can hold high temperature inside for a long time, which is good for cooking all sorts of goodies.
