“Russian stoves are ordinary, that is, the simplest, with shields and improved designs. Ordinary stoves have a number of disadvantages. They consume a lot of fuel, of which only 25–30% goes to heating the furnace, the rest goes down the chimney. This happens because the stoves do not have any smoke circulation. The amount of heat generated by the stove is the same in both winter and summer. The stove warms up only to the level of the hearth or hearth, the rest (800–900 mm from the floor) remains cold...” Every owner of a summer cottage dreams of turning it into a piece of paradise.
