The stove with the kazanom own hands

The stove with the cauldron is a practical and convenient solution for cooking at the cottage. It is important only to decide what kind of construction you want to have on your personal plot. From the stationary option it is sometimes best to refuse, but only if you will often use a similar device. This is due to the fact that under this device will have to allocate a sufficiently large area. It should not have wooden buildings. Among other things, a brick foundation will be needed for such a construction, which will take up a lot of space and will look very cumbersome. If you decide to choose a mobile option, then you can use metal. The construction in this case will be extremely simple, and in the role of the pedestal the upper part of the iron boiler will perform. In the role of the main material, a cast-iron pipe of considerable size or a pipe made of heat-resistant steel will perform .

Preparation of tools and materials

If you will build a stove with the cauldron, then for this you can use refractory bricks. Among other things, you will need tools for making mortar, fireclay powder, sand, a few fire bars and two doors, one of which will be designed for blowing, while the other is for the firebox.

Technology of work

If you will lay out the stove with the cauldron, then initially it is necessary to prepare the territory. The site must be leveled and moistened with water. On the base will need to lay out a solution, which is prepared from fireclay bricks and fine sand. Two ingredients must be mixed in a ratio of three to one. Water is needed so much so that the consistency is maximally plastic. In the end, you should get a foundation that has a thickness of 5 centimeters. The leveling of the slab should be carried out using the building level. When laying the stove with the cauldron on top of the still not grounded base, a reinforcement grid should be laid, the width of the cells should be equal to 12 centimeters or less. This element will strengthen the base, increasing strength and eliminating the possibility of destruction under the influence of a temperature drop.

Carrying out the basic works

Wait until the solution is completely dry, not worth it. If you immediately begin to build a hearth, then the bunch between the brickwork and the base will be much stronger. When using rack seals in the course of work, you can ensure smooth seams. After the masonry is completed, and the mortar grabs, but does not have time to harden, you need to remove the lath pads. Laying of bricks should be carried out according to the scheme, each odd number should start with a whole brick, while every even one should have a half. It is important to strictly follow the rules of dressing. They exclude the coincidence of vertical seams in one line, when it comes to nearby rows. When the oven is put under the cauldron, after the first row is formed, it will be necessary to install the ash door, providing a special hole in which the chimney will be installed. All subsequent series will have to be arranged in a circle. After the third row of masonry is completed, you can create a frame that is created from metal corners. It is welded to the metal grille. This stage indicates the completion of works, which provide for manipulation of the cellar compartment. The presence of the grate will ensure the flow of oxygen into the furnace, guaranteeing a good combustion of the fuel.

Method of creating an oven

When the stove is made for cauldron, then all the further rows should be laid, following the drawn up scheme. After installing the grate and laying the first row, you should install the firebox door. After grasping the mortar, it is necessary to perform the seaming of the joints. As the final stage is the manufacture of a sheet base. It is made of a metal sheet, the thickness of which is 1 centimeter. The sheet must have such dimensions to cover the brick foundation. In the center of the bulgarian one should cut a circle whose diameter is less by 2 centimeters in comparison with the circumference of the cauldron. Similar dimensions will allow loading the container into a brick furnace for 2/3.

Advice of the experienced stove man

In addition to the above, it should be noted that the edges of the hole made should be as flat as possible. Otherwise, through the cracks and small gaps will come smoke from under the cauldron. The edges of the stand, which is made of thick metal, is recommended to be processed with a round file. This will get rid of metal burrs, which can be dangerous. At the last stage, the sheet is placed on top of the furnace, which assumes that the bottom of the cauldron is inside.

Work on the chimney

If you want to have a cast iron cauldron in the cottage area with a stove, then in the next stage you can start laying the chimney. These works are made after the completion of brick laying. This stage is considered to be as complicated and laborious as possible. A chimney is necessary to ensure traction and remove smoke generated in the firebox. For the formation of the chimney, metal pipes, whose diameter varies from 10 to 12 centimeters, will suit. If the device turns out with bends, and not straight, then you will need a knee and fittings that have the appropriate diameters.

What is important to know the master

When making a stove under the kazan with their own hands, it is impossible to make a bending of the chimney pipes at an angle of 90 degrees. This almost completely eliminates cravings. If there is a need for bends, then they should be more than 90 degrees.

Conclusion

Kazan for a cottage with a stove will be an excellent solution for cooking. To assemble some parts of the pipe, you can use fittings that are welded together. From the inflows and scale should be disposed of with an angle grinder, which will be very convenient to work with.
