10 best gas stoves for baths

The TMF Taimyr gas oven is designed specifically to operate in the classic Russian bath mode with a temperature of 60 ° C and a relative humidity of 60%. To generate soft steam, a technology patented by the company is used: steam is generated in a closed-type heater and is pushed into the open at high speed, due to which the furnace walls are heated to the required levels. Using an open heater, you can arrange aromatherapy sessions by spraying aromatic oils and herbal infusions on the stones. And although it is not the fastest oven to heat up, it maintains a stable temperature and hassle-free operation.

The Zhara company presents 3 gas models of furnaces on the market: MalyutkaGaz, StandardGaz and SuperGaz. They are designed for heating baths of various sizes, and the most popular of them is StandardGas with an average power gas burner device of 30 kW. In the reviews of the owners there are no special complaints about the operation of the unit. The excellent quality of the welds, the high heat transfer of the furnace, the impressive heating rate - up to 100 ° in less than an hour (the room is properly thermally insulated) are often noted. Conveniently, the water tank (available as an option) can be installed in various ways - on the take-out, on the back or side wall, on the pipe. There are also flaws - the protective coating peels off quite quickly.

A high-quality German stove is designed for small areas, so it is often installed in family baths and saunas. When choosing this gas appliance, you don’t have to worry about safety - the model is equipped with protective railings, and strong Foamglas foam glass reliably insulates the floor from heat. In general, the quality and class are confirmed by the CE marking. This mark is a guarantee of compliance with all EU directives. In reviews, the model is praised for its manufacturability - the built-in fan has a low noise level, and all control is carried out through a digital panel.The highlight of the device is a universal design that allows you to independently trim it with natural stone and thereby fit the model into any interior.

The stove is ideal for lovers of a real Russian bath: in the dry heat, it creates plentiful but light steam, and the brick-like design provides good heating and long-term retention of the desired temperature. Average firing time from scratch is 160 minutes. Thanks to thermal inertia, the model quickly dries the room, and the heating of stones from 5 working sides allows you to quickly reach a high temperature, reaching more than 500 ° C in the lower layers. Such a device will last for a long time, - they write in the reviews, because the walls of the heater are made of low-alloy steel 20 mm. This thickness is sufficient to hold up to 280 kg of stones without deformation and guarantee reliable protection against burn-through.

The inventor and owner of the manufacturing company Kutkin M.M. has created a sauna stove capable of creating microclimatic conditions for all types of steam rooms - from an infrared sauna to a Russian bath. His brainchild managed to collect many awards. The main differences in the design are a mandatory closed heater, the absence of convection and the presence of several temperature regimes, including low temperature. The owners of heating units in the reviews also emphasize other advantages - high heating dynamics, pleasant dry steam, modern design and several finishes. There are also disadvantages: the oven is easy to overheat, in order to achieve the ideal ratio of temperature and humidity of 50/60 or 60/50, you need to gain experience.

The compact stove with chrome elements is a modification of the popular Angara 2012 model among attendants. Like its predecessor, it is suitable for heating small spaces - from 6 cubic meters. But the declared maximum 18 cubic meters does not pull, - users share in the reviews. According to them, the heat dissipation of the device is rather weak, and the heat cools quickly. This disadvantage is compensated by the low cost of operation - the design is adapted for the firebox with natural gas. It is equipped with a special funnel for supplying water to the lower layers of the heater, thanks to which a light steam of 60 °C is formed, which is ideal for the Russian bath regime. In addition, the model has an attractive design, and the burner is hidden behind an aesthetic screen.

The gas-wood device creates a stable and controlled microclimate in the steam rooms.It differs from classic stoves by a high collector-smoke collector and the location of the flame divider in the upper part of the furnace, which ensures stable heat transfer and heating of stones. The radial fire holes of the burner completely warm up the steam-generating surface, which, together with the heater, is located at a minimum distance to the flame. Direct contact with fire is possible thanks to a durable stainless steel 4 mm thick with 17% chromium and titanium in the composition. Among the minuses is the overexpenditure of firewood, because the stove is heated exclusively with an open blower. However, the manufacturer warns about this nuance in the attached instructions.

Ermak Uralochka-20 is a universal sauna stove. You can slowly heat it with wood, enjoying the smell of wood, or use gas. Gas equipment is capable of maintaining a constant temperature of 70‒120°. From other gas-wood models at a similar price, the Uralochka-20 stove is distinguished by increased power, sufficient to heat not only the steam room, but the entire bath. An open ventilated heater allows you to get hot steam. Users praise this model for ease of installation, reliability and affordable cost.There are also negative reviews about cases of burnout of the furnace, but this, as a rule, is a consequence of improper operation.

Vesuvius Skif gas-wood stoves are praised for their reliability. Thick steel walls and a heavy cast-iron door prevent the structure from burning through, thereby ensuring its durability and safety. The entire heating surface is closed in a casing, also known as a convector. Thanks to him, the steam room heats up quickly, while infrared radiation is blocked, and the heat in the bath remains soft. Sufficiently roomy heater (130 kg) provides a stable temperature. There is enough power to heat the steam room and heat the bath room. At the same time, the price pleases with democracy, but it is proposed to buy gas equipment separately.

The EasySteam company appeared in 2007 after 2 years of development and pilot production of stoves for the Russian bath. The line of bath heat generators received the names of resort towns. The Sochi K model is designed for long-term use in public and commercial steam rooms. To give the appropriate strength, reinforcing elements made of high-quality stainless steel with a thickness of 4 to 8 mm were introduced into the structure, multilayer welds were made in the most loaded areas, and the lining of the combustion chamber with fireclay was provided to reduce extreme temperatures. Two steam generators provide a dosed hit of water on the heater to get really light steam.
