The stove in the bath is the main object. It depends on how quickly the room will warm up and cool down. If someone decides to build a sauna stove with his own hands, then he should know that he is taking on a very responsible and time-consuming job. There are various options for baths: Turkish, Finnish, Japanese. But a person from central Russia is always dearer to his own, Russian. Each visit to the bath is a celebration of the soul and body. A person, having taken a steam bath in it with a birch broom, feels not only clean, he breathes easily, and his soul is in blissful languor, even all worries go somewhere, as if he was born again into the world.
Stoves for the Russian bath were always made of brick. They heat up slowly, but they also give off heat evenly, the steam from them is dry. However, making a brick oven for a bath with your own hands is a rather laborious process. Professional stove-makers lay them out of a special brick. It needs a solid foundation, which is carried out even before the walls are erected. The foundation must be well waterproofed. They do this with the help of roofing material, which covers the last row of the foundation, then another row is laid.bricks, on them - another layer of roofing material, then proceed to laying. Next, it’s a good idea to find a brick laying scheme on the Internet and do the work in stages according to this scheme.
The metal stove is unsuitable for the Russian bath. It heats up instantly and heats up the room quickly. Usually they are covered with stones. But the stones heat up slowly, because of this, the steam turns out to be raw. The steam makes it hard to breathe. You can overlay a metal furnace with brickwork. You can lay out the bricks yourself, leaving a gap between the metal surfaces and the masonry of ten to fifteen centimeters. The thickness of such facing should not exceed half the thickness of the brick.
Also used as a wood-burning and gas stove for a bath. However, there are many opportunities that allow you to make a metal stove for a bath with your own hands. There is a homemade design made from a large metal pipe.
A piece of pipe is cut into two pieces. From one part, the stove itself is made with a blower, a grate, a firebox with a door. A grate is installed above the firebox, on which stones will subsequently be laid. The second part of the pipe is used to create a water tank. A chimney is welded to the bottom of the tank, which is first inserted into the corresponding holes in the bottom and cover of the tank, which are also made of sheet metal. The pipe is welded to the bottom so that water does not flow out of the tank. A crane is welded to the tank. The tank is mounted onthe first part of the pipe using a special tire. It is also lined with bricks and installed on a foundation, which is a masonry in two rows of refractory bricks. It is better to cover the wall next to it with a layer of foil as a heat reflector for fire prevention purposes. Such a do-it-yourself sauna stove cannot be used for residential premises.
