Bubafonya (long burning furnace) with their own hands

At the beginning of the XX century, people came up with furnace-burzhujki. They were indispensable helpers in winter in various conditions. However, they consumed a lot of firewood, which quickly burned out. Therefore, in the future, another design was invented, it is now called in the people "Bubafonya" - a long-burning furnace. It can give off heat much longer than ordinary gaskets, because the fuel burns in it gradually.

What is the difference between the burning process of an ordinary burzhuyka from Bubafoni

In burzhujki the fuel (fire wood) burns very hotly and quickly. For this reason, its efficiency is low. It was necessary to hold back the flame. It was decided to squeeze all the wood that was put in, so that they would not burn, but would smolder. In fact, it is the same burzhuyka, but only with a press for fuel. And the name "Bubafonya" came from the name of the person who laid out the information and drawings of the furnace design in the World Wide Web. Since then, this model has become very popular and widely used.

What you need to make Bubafoni

Here is a drawing of the furnace "Bubafonya", which is easy to understand with the elements of its design. It is made simply, most importantly, to have a welding machine and find the necessary materials. The ideal material is an old gas cylinder. However, one can also make from a barrel or pipes, whose diameter is large enough for the Bubafoni body. We will also need tools:

• Welding machine and everything for welding;
• Bulgarian or gas cutter ;
• A gas cylinder or a metal barrel;
• Metal pipes with a diameter of 10 cm.

Material for manufacturing

The ideal Bubachon stove from a gas cylinder is the most suitable material, besides it is easy to find. All the actions with it must be carried out in the order that will now be described. On this depends the safety of the master, who will perform all the work.

The first thing you need to twist the valve. This will leave the remnants of gas that could remain inside. Then through the hole you need to pour water into the inner cavity of the cylinder. This will make sure that in the process of cutting it, nothing will ignite and explode.

Next, you need to cut off the top of the balloon, its hemisphere. This will be the furnace lid, so in the finished model it will be on the same place, but for now we will put it aside.

Further, making a furnace "Bubafonya" with their own hands, they build a press that will pressure the fuel, preventing it from flaring up. It is made of sheet steel, cutting out a circle that should easily pass inside the balloon. At its center make a hole with a radius of 10 cm. Thereafter, a pipe 10 cm in diameter is welded to it, and a length slightly above the balloon. This internal structure is heavy enough to squeeze fuel, and the pipe will ensure the passage of the required minimum of air to maintain combustion. Thus, the tree inside, rather, slowly smoldering than burning. Because of this principle of action "Bubafonya" - long-burning furnace - got its name. After all, it is really capable of giving heat from 6 to 20 hours with one bookmark.

Then, in the cut hemisphere of the balloon, a hole is cut in the middle, a pipe must fit tightly into it, which ensures air flow to the fuel. After that, we can assume that the Bubafonja itself is made. Now you need to weld the chimney. For this purpose, a hole with a radius of 10 to 15 cm is cut in the wall of the cylinder, under the cover itself. After this, take a pipe of the same diameter and create a knee - this will be a chimney. It is welded to the hole. In principle, everything, the simplest furnace "Bubafon", reviews about which are so positive, is made, you can try to flood it.

We will sing "Bubachi"

To kindle the furnace, you need to put firewood inside the balloon and let them kindle a little. When they do, the inside of the stove will be placed on top of them, which will press. Then, on the outgoing pipe, a cover is put from the upper hemisphere of the balloon. On it for easy operation, you can weld the handle. The smoke that is released from burning fills the cavity of the balloon above the metal pancake, which is the press, and the top lid, then leaves the chimney.

Important little things

In order to prevent combustion products from entering the room, the lid and top of the cylinder must be well ground for better contact. Also, it is necessary to make a hole in the lid, in which there is a pipe for supplying air to the furnace. If the master takes into account all these nuances of the design, then "Bubafonya" (long-burning furnace) will warm the room well, and there will be no debris and smell of smoke from it.

In such an oven, you can load any kind of wood waste from wood. Sometimes it is necessary to weight the press, having welded on it pieces of metal. How much to increase the weight, in the process of operation will become clear.

Options for the improvement of the pyrolysis furnace

When the "Bubafon" burns, or, more precisely, it smolder, the hull becomes very warm. This is inconvenient in the sense that it's too hot to stand near it. The output is the creation around the shell of the shirt, which can be made from ordinary tin. Take a piece of galvanizing, which is as high as Bubachi itself. And make a pipe out of it so that it is wider than the stove by 5-10 cm. It turns out that Bubafonya (long-burning furnace) is hot, and gives its heat to the inner space between it and the shirt, from which the latter also warms up, but significantly less. This allows you to feel comfortable near the hearth without fear of getting burned. The place where the Bubachi will be located also needs to be protected from its high temperature. It is necessary to put fireproof bricks under it or cast a pedestal for a furnace of heat-resistant materials.

All these improvements will ensure not only the convenience of using the unit, but also prevent the risks associated with fire safety.

Bubafonja stove with water jacket, which will heat the whole house

The stove can heat the water in its heat, which can be put into the heating system of a private house. To do this, make a water jacket around the body. It is a metal box, or a barrel, into which the whole body of the furnace is placed, and poured in water. When "Bubafon" is heated, its temperature heats the water, and it can already be transmitted through the heating system. Thus, the oven "Bubafonya", created by its own hands, can act as a boiler, which heats the house. It is very important when creating a shirt to weld it qualitatively to avoid leaking. The thickness of the walls should not be less than 3 mm. Also, if "Bubafon" is placed completely in the shirt, it will be necessary to make another cover that would cover the whole structure.

Another option for creating a water jacket is shown in the photo. From it you can see, around the case of "Bubafoni" is a compact heat exchanger. He heats the water and passes it on the tubes, to the batteries. As you can see, the design takes up very little space.

In this article we have thoroughly studied the topic of how to make a stove. "Bubafonya" in the home is constructed from materials that most are thrown away or scrapped. Also we learned various modifications of the device.

Rules for safe use of Bubafonei

• Near the oven, you should not have flammable objects: paper, plastic, furniture.
• It is better to put on construction gloves to load fuel.
• Do not use flammable liquids to ignite the furnace. But in the event that fuel does not ignite, it is necessary to moisten individual pieces of wood with combustible material. After that, put it in the firebox to the rest and then gently ignite it.
• If you need to cook food on Bubafon, you should do this only when it is fully warmed up.
• Do not touch any part of the oven to avoid burns. If for any reason you need to do this, then you should wear thick, heat-resistant gloves. After all, as described above, the bubafoni body is very hot.
• To extinguish the oven, it is necessary to cover the damper on the pipe, through which air is supplied to the furnace. After that, she will go out after a certain time.
• To work the oven for a very long time, do not burn plastic or polyethylene in it. First, these materials emit toxic gases, and secondly, after them there is a build-up in the system, which is very difficult to clean.
• It should be remembered that resinous wood species often form a condensation on the working surfaces of the furnace, this can hinder combustion.
• Do not paint parts of Bubafoni, because when it is heated, the paint can emit toxins.
• The furnace must be installed on a non-flammable substrate.

Afterword

There are many improvements, but the scheme of the work is unified, as shown in the drawing of the Bubafonja furnace, located at the beginning of this article. Therefore, in spite of what option the reader chooses for himself, it is worth keeping to the rules set forth here. This will allow to safely heat the room, and the unit itself will serve the owner for a long time.
