When cold days are approaching, many citizens are wondering how to install a stove in a garage with their own hands. The main disadvantage of many such structures is their rather large size. However, you can find something compact, but at the same time quite powerful. This is especially important in this case, as the garage door is opened frequently.
Electric or gas appliances will not work because they consume a lot of fuel. They are not efficient and economical. The ideal option would be a design that runs on solid or liquid fuels.
There are a few key things to consider when choosing a solid fuel stove for your garage.
- Firstly, it should not occupy a large area. In addition, if the stove in the garage was not installed permanently, then for the warm season it can be removed from the heated room.
- Second, high-level fire safety, so that you don't watch the stove for hours.
- She should alsohave a good power reserve, as depending on the situation, the level of heating should be different.
- Even ordinary garbage that constantly accumulates in the garage can serve as fuel for the stove, saving you from blockages.
There are several options for such devices.
Burzhuika
Classic metal garage stove. She runs on wood. This is a welded metal tank that has a door to load fuel and an exhaust pipe.
Its advantage is a simple design, but it has many disadvantages:
- Short service life due to metal burnout.
- The burning process is difficult to regulate: either everything burns out quickly, or it does not burn because there is no traction and poor quality fuel.
- Low efficiency, causing a lot of heat to escape through the pipe.
Nevertheless, it is very popular due to its low price and ease of making it yourself.
Oven Buleryan
For her, everything solid that can burn (both firewood and peat) is used as fuel. This oven is getting more and more popular. Indeed, with one bookmark of fuel, it will heat the room for 10 hours. Its efficiency is approximately 80% due to two combustion chambers. This is an important property of this design. In this stove, combustion is regulated by a damper, and the room warms up quite quickly.
Features of using buleryan:
- It is desirable to make a chimney from a sandwich pipe, which will rid the channel of condensate and soot.
- The height of its location from the floor should be at least 20 cm, and it should have a base made of heat-resistant material.
- This stove in the garage is better kindled with paper. Then solid fuel is added.
Furnace for "development"
Similar to a potbelly stove, but used oil is used as fuel. Its device is simple, but at the same time reliable. How is this stove installed in the garage with your own hands? It's pretty simple.
You need two containers connected with a pipe that has many small holes. The lower part is both the fuel tank and the boiler. In this tank, when heated, fuel is produced. The upper element is a pipe with a tank - it is a firebox and a heating element. These furnaces can be heated up to 700-900 degrees. Its lower volume is 8-15 liters, which is enough for 10-20 hours of work. A hole-lid is made in this vessel, which sucks in air and serves as a filler neck, and also regulates the combustion power. For the manufacture of this furnace, only dense metal is used. The exhaust pipe also needs to be strengthened, as its temperature sometimes reaches 250 degrees. All parts should be made removable due to soot in the channels, which must be removed at least once a week. It fires up quite easily. For thisit is necessary to pour 1 liter of fuel into the lower tank. Then insert a newspaper into the filler hole and set fire to it. After 5-10 minutes, the tank warms up, and combustion is transferred to the pipes.
After all that has been said, it should be noted that home-made garage stoves require special knowledge and skills during manufacture, and if they are not built correctly, they can be dangerous, that is, in this case it is better to contact specialists.
