There are different ways to solve the problem of heating a country house. One of the simplest and most environmentally friendly options is to install a fireplace stove. This device becomes not only a source of heat, it can become an interior decoration and a place of pleasant pastime. Today, the Russian consumer is offered an impressive range of fireplace stoves, both domestic and foreign production. To select the most efficient heating device, the following expert recommendations should be considered.

How to choose a fireplace stove

  1. Fireplace stove power. The performance of the fireplace stove is selected for a specific house or room. In order not to be mistaken with the power, it is necessary to calculate the volume of the room. Most often, productivity is indicated in cubic meters. Simplistically, 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 from two materials.
  3. Cast iron models are distinguished by a longer heating up, but they retain heat longer. This type of oven is best suited 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 down quickly. Heating devices made of steel are optimal for summer residents who come out of town on weekends in cold weather.
  5. Decoration Materials. To increase the safety of residents during the operation of the fireplace stove, as well as to improve its appearance, manufacturers finish the outer surface. The best option would be to use ceramics or natural stone, tiles or majolica.
  6. Burning duration. When you have to spend the night in a country house, the duration of burning on one tab becomes an important characteristic of the fireplace stove. In order not to disturb the sleep of the residents, the oven should be operational for 6-8 hours. Otherwise, the cold will make you wake up and throw firewood into the firebox.
  7. Type of fuel. There are many sources of energy that can be used in fireplace stoves.
  8. The simplest and most affordable fuel for residents of Russia is firewood. They quickly give heat, they can smolder for a long time. But one tab in the firebox is not enough for burning for 6-8 hours.
  9. Peat or coal briquettes are characterized by high heat transfer. They are able to slowly smolder all night long, creating a comfortable atmosphere in the house. But it is very difficult to ignite such fuel without firewood, and after combustion you have to remove a lot of sludge from the furnace.

We have selected 15 of the best fireplace stoves for review. All of them are sold on the domestic market. When compiling the rating, the opinion of the expert community and user reviews were taken into account.
