The Russian oven is also a bread maker

Russian oven in the kitchen ... dream come true !!!
I am aware that my story is most likely meaningless for apartments. But!!! There is always room for change in life. So - who knows ... when and what can come in handy.
In general, everything depends on a dream. But she, a dream, is only good when there is hope for her to come true !!!
Therefore, when the conversation started, you yourself understand - who started it, about the reconstruction of the kitchen, then the condition I set was one - there MUST be a Russian OVEN in the kitchen !!! Otherwise - nothing !!! Having grumbled for the sake of appearance, they agreed with me.
And… sbycha (… dreamed for twenty years)… the dream began.
The masters "matched" us ... and the first thing that the master did was give us to read the treatise by N. A. Lvov "Russian pyrostatics, or the use of already tested air stoves and fireplaces with his own hand engraved drawings of new heating and ventilation devices"
Here he is the author ... of this treatise.



Reads like the most entertaining fiction. And you will find out THIS for yourself ... you will not regret it, honestly.
"... This book can prove how about a subject that belongs to the same skill, you can speak sharply, funny and entertaining ...."
(If anyone really needs it, I can dump the scans of the book)
They decided to make a kitchen instead of a terrace. The walls were built, the floor was flooded, the windows were inserted and everything else was prepared. And then they took up the stove.
Well. The beginning of the process.
This is how it will be a stove. That is, these are its boundaries in the kitchen.



And this is the future sofa bed, which will be on the other side? In the living room.



It was necessary, however, to break out one wall so that both the stove and the stove bench stood up, and three to finish building. Because, again, they decided to build a kitchen instead of a veranda.



And here are the first steps







Rises slowly. This is not a firebox. This is baking.





And these are channels for the passage of hot gases inside the bed. That is, this is not material saving, if someone does not know, but channels. Hot air, along with smoke, of course, "falls" from the firebox through these channels, passes, heats the brick of the bed, and then will go into the chimney





These bricks were cut by hand. Carefully ... right?



They began to overlap the arch.





Here. They blocked the baking ovens and coated them.



They cut the bricks under the ribs - screeds. Instead of pathetic ...





This is how we build them ... these screeds.



Everything is ready to overlap the baking….



... and beds



But the bed is already blocked.



We pulled out the walls under the flooring of the hearth.



We overlap under ... that is, we proceed to the firebox.



And we figure out how to draw out the pole.



In this way. Under blocked, the pole is extended.



We begin to expose the walls of the furnace.



These are hot gas ducts. They will just go around the firebox.





We expose the templates under the crucible arch.



It is at this level and at this angle that the arch will go. It is too high for tradition, but ... there are all sorts of thoughts “for cooking”, and therefore “such a height” is taken.



And we turn dreams into reality ...



The work with the crucible continues. Here is such a "figured driving ..." on the arch.



We take the crucible under the arch.



And cover it with clay. Shamotny. We coat well.



And again ... no metal. All struts and stiffeners are brick.



And this is ... a view from the rear. The gap between the firebox and the back wall. This gap is not just a gap. This is the thermal gap. Between the firebox and the wall. To prevent the outer walls from cracking.



These are the wedges in the crucible vault. We close the crucible and begin to close it slowly.





And these are openings for the exit of smoke and hot gases from the furnace. In addition to the principle of "direct heating, as in the Russian stove", the heated gases will pass into the duct system to warm up the stove bench.



This is the frame of the ledge, the direct exit of smoke from the furnace into the chimney.And under it, by the way, it will be possible to put a samovar, so that the smoke from it and from the furnace, when you open the damper, will be drawn into the chimney, and not into the room.



This is how the pediment is obtained.





Well. What should be inside the kitchen is already ready.



This is how the stove will look from the side of the dining room.



The sight has already been mapped out for the exit of the chimney from the house.



And this is looking at the mouth of the chimney from the inside, that is, from the roof. ...
In the body of the roof slab, the pipes were laid with double bricks. Outside, red is stove. Inside - fireproof. And they put asbestos between the bricks. The pipe was also wrapped with asbestos over the red brick. For the purpose of fire safety, so to speak.



It was already dark, and the Master did not leave the roof. Today, he says, we'll flood. There are a couple of rows left. And tomorrow morning only the chimney will remain.



Here is such a deep pipe.



Well. Everything is prepared.



To light the stove for the first time ... the right is given to the hostess.



The damper of the direct flue is open.



We do not install the damper. We provide air access and pipe heating. Everything is damp and unheated there.



But the smoke, even the smallest smoke, draws out regularly.



And this is the damper. Temporary.
This device was made from a snow shovel. Because for the manufacture of normal and in size,
time is needed.



This is how the pipe appeared on the roof of the former veranda - the terrace ...
And the smoke goes nothing so-so. But the chimney is absolutely necessary. Therefore, the next day his and
finished. The wind is small, but the evon blows away ...



Well, that's actually all ... about how they BUILD ... ....



Well, Duc and what to continue then? Epifan Prokhorich likes!



And in the interior she was already ...



So ... we will continue to live - to live and eat delicious food from the stove. Yes, on the couch bones to warm!
And we wish you the same !!!

It's good that the dream has come true! very nicely described interestingly shown! Thank you! oh we don't have such masters! I would have a fireplace!

Thank you, great story, I looked at the photos in one breath! I really hope to realize the dream of a house and a Russian stove in it myself!

Congratulations! Having a Russian stove in our time is so great! I don't even know who has it now. Now the master has an incredible problem to find. In any case, with us. It would be interesting to read a book.

The reportage about the construction of the stove turned out gorgeous.

I looked with great pleasure. Great! From such a stove, the porridge is good, and pies (did you bake Uzbek flatbreads?) And baked milk and all that ... How lucky your dog is, what spa treatments he gets on a warm couch! Thank you for the fascinating and informative photo report.

Ivanych And a simple brick firebox? and the pipe outside is made of chamotte aaaa, I think I understood this by the furnace M-200

Osspodi !!! Who would argue that there is nothing better than a Russian stove! We still will not have the courage to move our own and modernize! When you heat a room in late autumn with a stove or heater - a big difference!

[Ivanych]

Ivanych, Thank you so much for the story and for the magnificent photographs I have kept it in bookmarks for my husband ... Tyknu - they say, the stove-makers on the Russian land have not died out !!! Perhaps it will mature in twenty years ...

they say, stove-makers in the Russian land have not died out !!!

Displayed my thoughts. Now it is very rare to see "handy" men.
It turned out great, and the report is fascinating. Thank you for your work.

I liked the bed the most - a dream!

... It would be interesting to read a book.

I remember the promise. Now I'm sitting on a "quiet internet". As soon as I get home, I'll do it right away.

Ivanych A simple brick firebox? and the pipe outside is made of chamotte aaaa, I think I understood this by the furnace M-200

The firebox is made of simple, but stove bricks. The pipe is made of fireclay inside. And outside ... well, Duc remains ... do not throw it away.

How lovely!!! Just a dream! And Prokhorich was so lucky.

Just a fairy tale!

I liked the bed the most - a dream!

!!!!!!!!

Tell me about the "channels for hot gases. They will go around the firebox" this is what kind of gases we are talking about, just warm (hot) air will circulate around the vault. And the oven will not cool down faster from this?

Can I have a scan about the stove? Please ... I also have a house on the horizon, we will put a log house (you also have a log house, judging by the pictures?). Can you share some practical advice, what should be foreseen, well, there are all sorts of different things. Construction firms - give them a project and money. Nobody will advise anything. That's scary, suddenly we will miss what. And yet - how to protect the house from open fire, after all, the stove is, and the house is wooden? What do you advise? Thank you.

Ivanovich, and another question: I see, you just made a stove for the first floor (actually for the kitchen), and so that it would heat the second floor, what needs to be done and, in general, is it possible?

Well, the dream of our own house is beginning to come true, we are starting to design - even if it is only a garden house (hic), but I want there to be a stove. I dream of being able to cook and bake in a real wood-burning stove.

I am asking: whoever has a book by N. A. Lvov "Russian pyrostatics, or the use of already tested air stoves and fireplaces with personally engraved drawings of new heating and ventilation devices", please send me an email or give me a link where this download the book (a couple of links that came across are already, alas, non-working).

Ivanych, but how would you still read a book ...
