10 best stoves for the Russian bath in 2021

The best Russian banya is one where there is a lot of steam, and to achieve it, you need a lot of stones. This heater will fill a room with a volume of up to 20 cubic meters with soft steam, and all thanks to its large capacity. As much as 55 kilograms of stones fit in there. The design is closed, that is, the heat exchange is very high, and after complete heating, the stones cool down very slowly. True, it takes a long time to heat the oven, but thanks to the installation of almost any type of gas burners, this issue is easily solved. The furnace itself is completely steel. The wall thickness of the firebox is 6 millimeters, that is, you don’t have to worry about burning through, as well as about thermal deformation. And the water tank is easily mounted on top.

If you have a small Russian bath, and there is simply no place to place a large stove, be sure to take a closer look at this product. This is not only the most compact heater, but also the best in terms of price. It costs less than 20 thousand rubles, which is already a rarity in the modern market. This is due to its small size and average performance. At the same time, its efficiency is quite high. It is provided by a complex system of heat removal channels. The furnace is completely iron. Cast iron is not used in the construction, so do not overheat it beyond measure.However, with gas burners, burning through the walls is a rather rare phenomenon.

TMF is a popular Russian brand with a lot of interesting products in its catalog. The Urengoy model can be safely called one of the most popular. It appeared on store shelves in 2012 and has been in high demand among buyers ever since. It's all about the high reliability of the design and its visual appeal. The steel fire chamber provides fast heating of 42 kilograms of stones. The manufacturer deliberately did not use cast iron, but replaced it with steel 10 millimeters thick. The walls are very thick and do not burn through even after prolonged intensive use. The stove itself is very small and is designed to heat a small room of 12 cubic meters. If desired, a water tank can be installed on the chimney.

In most cases, the stove-heater is designed for a small bath room, but if your steam room volume reaches 24 cubic meters, then you will need something more. And now we have just such a stove. She has the largest volume of heated space. At the same time, the dimensions are not to say that large. But there is a very roomy firebox with panoramic glass. It is convenient to lay logs in it, and even large ones. The iron grate around the boiler is designed for laying stones, that is, the furnace is open, but due to the high temperature in the furnace, heating occurs quickly, and it all cools down for quite a long time. This is the best model for a steam room with an above-average volume.

Russian banya can be both classic and quite modern. If the second is closer to you, then you need to select the appropriate oven. Before us is the most unusual model from a Russian manufacturer. Semicircular design with a figured box for stones. It seems to be the same heater, but it looks very unusual. According to the characteristics, there is also something to look at. The heated volume is 16 cubic meters, which is quite a lot considering the small size of the furnace. About 20 kilograms of stones are placed in the box, but thanks to a complex system of channels, heating occurs very quickly. True, the cooling will not keep you waiting, but there's nothing you can do about it.

Cast iron is a derivative of iron. The material is durable and has good thermal conductivity. It retains the accumulated heat for a long time, therefore it is ideal for the production of furnaces. But it has disadvantages, such as high cost, high weight and low aesthetic appeal. It is because of these shortcomings that cast iron is increasingly being replaced by ordinary metal and steel. But there are stoves that are still produced using old technologies. One of them is now in front of us. A true work of blacksmith art. The vat is made of cast iron, so it will never burn out or warp from high temperatures. True, and the price is right.But such a furnace is unlikely to have to be changed even after a dozen years.

Everything is possible in the modern world. Even a Russian sauna with a Finnish heater. Harvia M2 is the best oven in terms of value for money. It is very reliable and will last for many years, which more than compensates for not the lowest price tag. The design is thought out to the smallest detail, although some users have problems with the ash pan. However, this is a matter of habit and does not affect the technical parameters in any way. Otherwise, an excellent iron stove with a wall thickness of up to 8 millimeters. The firebox is equipped with a panoramic door, so you can also enjoy the beauty of an open flame. And the rear exit of the chimney will not interfere with steam, splashing stones.

Any heater, especially wood-fired, will require maintenance sooner or later. It is necessary to clean and care for the device so that it works for a long time. Often this is not easy to do, but not in this case. Here, the manufacturer has taken care of the convenience, making the design so that you can easily reach all the internal parts. This is a heater, but of a closed type. However, it can also be used without the top cover. The case is collapsible, dividing into three parts. The firebox is removed separately, and a capacious box is used to receive the ash.

The stove-heater is a simple design, and it would seem that there is nothing to add to it. But the Ermak company has seriously improved this equipment, which allowed them to keep their small dimensions, but at the same time increase their efficiency and increase their service life. It uses a complex system of gas exhaust channels. They do not just fly out into the pipe, but also work to warm the room. As a result, the heated area was 20 cubic meters, which is a very good result with such dimensions. However, there are not many stones here. They are laid only on top of the boiler, but this is enough for you to have a real Russian bath, and you can heat it with both wood and gas.

A blast furnace is an industrial furnace for melting metals, and it is not for nothing that this heater was given this name. She has the best performance for her size. Yes, the design is rather big, and the stove does not look like a monumental structure, but at the same time it is able to heat 25 cubic meters, and this is a very high figure, quite rare on the market.In addition, the stove is universal, that is, it can work both from a gas nozzle and from a wood fire. True, you won’t be able to enjoy the flames, since there is no glass firebox here. Also note the small ash box. An inconvenient solution, especially considering the large load of the furnace during operation at maximum values.
