Varvara stove for a bath: varieties and difficulties of choice

How to clean a barbarian stove

Even a perfectly built stove and chimney will begin to need cleaning over time. In this particular case, the quality of its manufacture will directly affect the intensity and frequency of this process. If we consider that the owners themselves can further contribute to the contamination of the chimney, it becomes obvious that it will have to be cleaned at least once a year. How to clean soot from the stove, what signs indicate the need for this?

When should you clean your stove?

You will have to clean the soot from the stove just before the start of the heating season. The following signs may also indicate that such a need really exists:

1) Smoke color. It is a clear indicator of the cleanliness of the chimney and stove. If black smoke comes out of the pipe, it means that the channels are full of soot and you should immediately begin cleaning the system.

2) The color of the burning flame. Another indicator indicating that the chimney pipes are full of soot. The ideal flame is one that has a light shade of orange. If the fire takes on dark tones, this indicates a lack of draft in the system.

3) Poor traction. A decrease in draft, which leads to the fact that the stove or fireplace begins to smoke or is difficult to melt even with dry wood, is soot accumulated on the walls of the chimney. Accumulating over time, it reduces the diameter of the chimney opening, and the draft decreases accordingly.

Significant accumulations of soot in the chimney can ignite due to high temperatures inside the furnace. When the soot burns, sparks will fly from the chimney, which can cause a fire. In addition, insufficient draft can lead to carbon monoxide accumulating in the room, resulting in carbon monoxide poisoning.

You should not use cellophane, plastic bottles, or light a fire with liquid fuel for heating. Our ancestors also believed that it was extremely wrong to heat a stove with leftover food, damp firewood or garbage. This contributes to the accelerated appearance of soot in the pipes, which in turn leads to the appearance of condensation, which destroys the chimney.

You will have to clean the chimney every time these alarming symptoms are observed; you should also pay attention to the unexplained loss of smoke draft; this can also occur due to contamination of the channels.

How to clean the stove?

There are both folk methods of how to get rid of soot in a furnace, and more scientifically based ones. Surprisingly, both are effective almost equally. To do this, you can use the following options:

● The easiest and most accessible way for everyone is to use rock salt. During the burning of wood, it is thrown into the oven. True, this method is more effective for preventive measures against soot formation.

● Potato peelings. You will need about 1 - 1.5 buckets of this fuel. They are burned with wood. The starch released during the combustion process helps burn soot. It is recommended to use this method only as a preventive measure. Burning them in a furnace leads to the fact that soot begins to fall directly into the furnace. After burning, you just need to clean the firebox and channels through the cleaning hole. Potato peels should be placed on already lit firewood. You should not suffer and heat the stove by cleaning separately. Their use is effective when heating the furnace.

● Cleaning log. A special chemical composition helps burn out soot from pipes without the use of mechanical cleaning. The disadvantage of this method is the high temperature at which the “log” burns out. Some chimneys cannot withstand such intensity and can burn out along with the soot. Cleaning soot in the stove in this way is also not recommended if the owners have any allergic reactions to odors. After the combustion of substances, the aroma of the chemicals used will remain in the house for some time.

● Mechanical method. The most proven cleaning method. For it you need to purchase a special brush with a weight attached to the end. It is slowly lowered into the chimney channel. After this, the fallen soot is removed using special inspection windows. This method is usually the most productive, but it requires sufficient practice and experience to use it.

● You can clean the chimney of soot using aspen firewood. Experts recommend burning them in large quantities. Cleaning with this method means that at high temperatures, the soot begins to burn and burns out. Needless to say, this method is extremely unsafe. After all, sparks flying from the chimney can land not only on the roof, but also on nearby buildings. Another disadvantage of this method is that the temperature in the chimney is too high. There is a high probability that it simply will not withstand such a load and will crack. So before you put this option into practice, think carefully about whether it’s worth it.

● Powdered PHC product, it is burned without removing it from the packaging, both with firewood and separately. It is imperative to take into account the standards for the use of preventative agents. PHC can be burned in an amount of 200 grams per ton of fuel.

Before cleaning the furnace chimney from accumulated soot, you need to make sure that there is no bird's nest in it. To do this, a pole is inserted into the pipe and, when a nest is detected, it is pushed to the inspection holes and removed from the chimney.

Of course, you can do all the work on cleaning chimney ducts yourself, but first it would be good to consult with a specialist. It is correct that the stove maker monitors all stages of the work being performed for the first time. It is also worth taking care of the correct operation of the furnace, which significantly reduces the frequency with which such maintenance must be carried out.

In recent years, the popularity of domestic sauna stoves has increased - Russian-made models provide worthy competition to foreign products. And this is not surprising. For example, the Varvara sauna stove is increasingly being installed in steam rooms for the simple reason that it quickly and efficiently heats the room, provides those steaming with a sufficient amount of steam, and fits perfectly into even the smallest baths.

Varvara heat generators are manufactured by the Tver company DERO and K LLC. The model range is small (only nine models), but each buyer will be able to choose the most suitable option. Thus, people often prefer to buy devices that provide remote heating of water for washing, and only benefit from this.

Strengths and weaknesses of Varvara stoves

The main advantage of all representatives of this model range is their low weight: about 100 kg plus the mass of the chimney pipe. Such a stove can support any floor, so it does not require a particularly strong base - in most cases, high-quality insulation alone is sufficient.

On a note! If desired, the stove after purchase can be equipped with a glass door, a tank for heating water, a mirror thermal casing, or even a shortened combustion chamber. The location of the container can be different: top, bottom or side; You can do without a container at all if you already have a water heater.

Another advantage of the described models is the presence of a round hole (it is closed with a special plug) on the back wall of the case, which is intended for cleaning. The user can see the place that needs cleaning even with the naked eye: you just need to look inside the combustion chamber and find a welded metal sheet (also called a “smoke tooth”) - it is on it that soot accumulates.

Sectional view of the Varvara stove

It is worth noting that Varvara stoves require periodic maintenance - the chimney and afterburner need to be cleaned twice a year. But that's where all the troubles end.

Review of the Varvara line

According to the manufacturer himself, Varvara stoves began to be produced for baths only after all the advantages and disadvantages of popular Russian models were carefully analyzed. For this reason, the strengths and weaknesses of competing devices are taken into account here.

The model range itself, as noted above, consists of seven models. Let's get acquainted with the features and characteristics of each of them.

Model Varvara “Fairy Tale”

A successful combination of high-quality convection/accumulation and attractive design. This model is capable of warming up the steam room in record time and keeping it warm for quite a long time.

Sectional view of the Varvara stove

It is worth noting that Varvara stoves require periodic maintenance - the chimney and afterburner need to be cleaned twice a year. But that's where all the troubles end.

Now - about the shortcomings. Sometimes users note that the water in the tank takes longer to heat up than in a conventional stove. This problem can be solved quite simply: an additional heat exchanger is installed on the chimney, as a result of which the water will heat up to 70°C within an hour, which is very good. Although after a few hours it may boil, so you will have to carefully monitor the heating.

Another difficulty that users of Varvara often encounter is condensation that flows down the chimney pipe. This happens if the pipe is installed “along the smoke”.

Assembling chimney elements

Assembly “by smoke” and “by condensate”

The problem is explained by the fact that Varvara is equipped with an afterburner chamber, which means it operates primarily in slow fire mode. Because of this, the temperature at the chimney outlet is not very high, which leads to abundant formation of condensate, often even with impurities. Therefore, correct installation of the stove is so important (the diagram will be given at the end of the article). It is also desirable that the pipe is not 120 cm, but passes through the entire tank, i.e., it is longer by as much as 50 cm.

Table No. 1. Technical parameters of the Varvara “Fairy Tale” model

stove Varvara

I installed a “Varvara” stove, the one they make in Tver, in the bathhouse. I chose the option with a water heating circuit and a tank on a pipe. During the first fire, I received an unpleasant surprise. The chimney passes through a water tank and, accordingly, the inner walls begin to sweat and condensation begins to flow down the rubble onto the stove, and everything would be fine if it were pure condensation from the air. But no, the design of the chimney is made in such a way that the outlet pipe from the stove does not pass through the entire tank, but only extends 15 centimeters into this tank and then the sweating walls of the tank serve as the chimney. The products of burning wood are mixed with the condensate, plus some of the moisture from the firewood condenses because they have their own humidity, and the result is a black sauna fire. I decided to extend the pipe so that it would go through the entire tank. I wrote all this to warn others against possible mistakes.

Leksey wrote: During the first fire, I received an unpleasant surprise. The chimney passes through a water tank and, accordingly, the inner walls begin to sweat and condensation begins to flow down the rubble onto the stove, and everything would be fine if it were pure condensation from the air.

Before lighting the stove, pour a little water into the tank on the pipe. As soon as the stove flares up, top up completely. IMHO

This problem with the tank and heat exchangers is always present; it is necessary to provide a cleaning device and clean it after about 2-4 fireboxes!

What can you say about the stove itself? How much money did you give? How is she doing? In the pictures that we were able to find, it seems that there are few stones, is that true? How long do you think it will last with weekly use? Did you cover it with bricks?

the oven is normal. Economical. I bought it in Tver in a store from the manufacturer for 16,000 rubles. I didn’t cover the walls with bricks, I covered them with sheets, I don’t remember the name, I think it’s mineralite. I carried out tests, heated it on a gas stove and put a chip on it, it did not char. I wanted to make a faucet with a shower like in an apartment, but the height of the column is not enough for the mixer to supply either hot or cold water. But still, condensate flowing down the pipe is not a problem until you get around to inserting a piece of pipe, but once I install it, I will definitely write about the effect.

Main advantages

Highest functionality. Thanks to the design features and materials of which the Varvara Bath Stoves are made, they very quickly heat up the water and air in the room and retain heat for a long time
Economical fuel consumption . In order to heat to the desired temperature, you will need very little firewood.
Resistant to damage and deformation . The firebox walls of this brand’s stoves are 6mm thick, which means you don’t have to worry about their safety.
Ease of operation and maintenance. The design of the “Varvara” devices is simple, which makes caring for them absolutely not difficult.
Stylish design. Having decided to buy a “Varvara” stove, you will definitely be able to find a model that you like and will harmoniously fit into the interior of your steam room
Possibility of individual configuration. Our catalog presents stoves in different designs. If you need a device equipped specifically for your needs, please indicate this when placing your order or communicate your wishes to our consultant. We will order the device you need from the manufacturer, and very soon it will be ready

The range of these sauna stoves

As he himself states, they began to produce baths after a thorough analysis of the pros and cons of domestic models - and therefore all the pros and cons of competitors are taken into account.

Any “Barbara” model creates a comfortable temperature and good steam in the bathhouse. There are three main serial “Barbarians”:

An oven with a heating circuit and a tank, which is located at the top and has a capacity of 120 liters.

These stoves are intended for those baths where there is a water supply or a pumping station with water supplied to it. Here the tank is essentially a passage through the ceiling. The steam from such a stove is discharged to the street through a steam outlet. And the heating circuit itself is made of stainless steel 1.5 mm thick, where hot water circulates. Such a stove can even handle a steam room up to 30 m3. By the way, if such a large tank is not needed, it can be replaced with a standard 60 liter one.

Stove with a side-mounted tank - 50 liters.

This model is ideal for baths where it is not possible to connect or organize water supply. But such a stove can be installed record-breakingly quickly and easily, is easy to maintain and serves for a long time and without problems due to its simplicity.

A stove without a tank - with and without a circuit.

Furnaces with a circuit are designed for heating water using electric and gas water heaters. But “Barbarians” without a circuit are used more like a solid fuel boiler, which is connected to the radiators of the bathhouse and thus heats it.

Modifications

If there is a desire and need, the oven can be supplemented with various features:

External furnace. Sometimes the partition between the steam room and another room does not allow the furnace room to be removed. For more comfortable operation, an external combustion chamber is mounted to the stove.
Hanging container. Most stoves in the Varvara line are equipped with a side tank. The container is placed in a special pocket on the left or right. Thanks to the heat exchange between the wall of the unit body and the tank, the water in the latter is heated. They are made of 1 mm stainless steel and have a volume of 41 to 55 liters.
Panoramic door. All “Varvara” models are equipped with the following types of doors:

cast iron;
heat-resistant glass door in a steel casing – 0.4 cm.

Dimensions:

for standard modifications – 29 × 31 cm;
for Mini – 22 × 26 cm.

The latter are much cheaper because they are smaller.

a tank with a capacity of 60 or 120 liters for baths with water supply;
heat exchanger

Mounted in the left or right walls of the case. Designed to heat water in a container located at a distance. All devices are made of stainless steel and have a capacity of 3 liters. It is worth mentioning that the foam-filled heat exchanger used loses its tightness and quickly fails.

Advantages and disadvantages of Varvara

One of the important advantages of the Varvara sauna stoves is that they don’t weigh much at all: the stove itself weighs 100 kg and, in addition, the pipe for it. Absolutely any floor in a bathhouse will support such a weight, and therefore there is no need for a particularly powerful foundation for the stove - sometimes you can get by with just good insulation.

What’s simply wonderful is that the “Varvara” sauna stove has a round hole with a plug on the back wall - specifically for cleaning. And the place that needs to be cleaned at this stove can be easily seen with the naked eye: we look inside the firebox and see a welded sheet of metal in its upper part (it is also called a “smoke tooth”) - this is where all the settled soot accumulates. Yes, the Varvara stove requires maintenance - clean the pipe and afterburner twice a year. That's all the trouble!

Sometimes these stoves are not popular because the water in the tank takes longer to heat up than in conventional stoves. But it’s easy to solve this problem: we install an additional heat exchanger on the chimney, and within an hour the water will be about 70˚C, which is quite enough. True, after three hours it may boil - you will have to watch this.

Another common problem that owners of the Varvara sauna stove often encounter is condensate flowing down the pipe. This happens if the chimney was assembled “by smoke”. The thing is that “Varvara” is a stove with an afterburning chamber, and it works mainly in a slow burning mode. Therefore, the temperature at the chimney outlet turns out to be low, and condensate is formed quite generously, and even with impurities

That is why it is so important to install “Varvara” according to the correct scheme - it can be seen in the step-by-step photo below. And also make the pipe itself not 1.2 meters long, but one that passes through the entire tank - longer by as much as half a meter

This way the condensate will drain clean and will not come into contact with stove smoke.

It is also undesirable to heat this stove with birch wood - there have been cases when the seams of the stove simply came apart.

Work progress

If the preparation has been carried out at the proper level, we will first analyze the expected scope of work - the furnace diagram.

Scheme

The scheme is based on a pipe with a diameter of 15-20 cm.

1 – cutout for the blower;
2 – firebox (behind the firebox door);
3 – heater, a less common version of a closed heater is used here;
4 – heater door
5 – tap;
6 – tank, an open tank is often used, which eliminates the need to install a tap, this simplifies and reduces the cost of the circuit;
7 – chimney;

The instructions for cooking such a stove are a chain of strictly defined sequential actions; one cannot do without discipline, and of course, a reserve of skillful use of a welding machine

8 – square platform;
9 – brickwork, pipes and the need for thermal insulation are required;
10 – damper;
11 – horizontal plate of the body;
12 – window for the chimney;
13 – cover;
14 – window;
15 – bottom;
16 – grate;
17 – steel plate;
18 – grate;
19 – ears;
20 – steel ring.

Cooking

The entire process of solving the problem of how to weld a sauna stove yourself will consist of the following steps:

At the bottom of the pipe we make a cutout (1) for the blower measuring 18-20 by 5-6 cm.
We mount a 12 mm thick round steel plate by welding above the ash pit.
We cut a rectangular window in the plate to accommodate the grate. To secure the grate, we weld 4 ears on 4 sides.
We cut out the firebox door in the pipe, measuring 25 by 30 cm. Next is the work of installing the door itself, and this is hanging the hinges, the door and the latch for it.
Above the firebox, at a height of 10 cm from the bottom of the tank, we weld a piece of pipe 30 by 35 cm for the heater. We weld the back part of the pipe, and at the front we make a door 25 by 30 cm.

Welding still requires some experience.

Helpful advice! Here and below, of course, approximate dimensions are given, but we advise you to adhere to them as accurately as possible.

We weld a fence for the heater from a steel bar so that the stones do not fall out (although you can solve this problem at your own discretion).
We fix a steel coupling 50 mm wide and 5-7 mm thick in the upper part of the furnace. We weld one half of the coupling to the furnace body, the second will be used for mounting the tank.
We weld a circle 8 mm thick to the bottom of the tank with a pre-cut hole for a chimney with a diameter of 12-15 cm. We fix the bottom of the pipe in the bottom of the tank to ensure water leaks into the firebox.

The job is almost completed: a version of a self-made stove

We cover the upper part of the tank with a semicircle of steel and make a hole in it for the pipe, welding the pipe itself. Please note that a third of the area should remain open for water to pour in. The cover can be mounted in this place at any time.
The last operation is to weld a 30 by 30 cm steel plate to a pipe 30 cm from the tank, which will be needed for installing the pipe.

Stoves for baths “Varvara”: review and reviews

Domestic manufacturers are occupying an increasingly strong position in the market for bath stoves. Their products do not always have an attractive design, but the quality of the units and their properties are often at their best. One of these. This company began producing bath stoves 10 years ago, having previously studied the experience of leading and domestic manufacturers. As a result, “Varvara” bath stoves are in stable demand and have almost no complaints about quality.

Furnace structure using the example of the Varvara Classic model

Technology for making a metal sauna stove with your own hands

It is quite simple to weld a sauna stove yourself, since the manufacture of homemade heating equipment does not require serious calculations and diagrams.

In terms of its technical and operational characteristics, the finished device will be absolutely incomparable to factory products.

So, how to cook a sauna stove with your own hands from available materials? First you need to prepare a reliable foundation for your homemade device.

Construction of the foundation for the furnace

Despite the compact dimensions and light weight of a metal stove, the mechanical load on the floor at the installation site of the device will be significant. Therefore, the stove needs a strong and reliable foundation.

The best option for a metal structure is a concrete foundation. All work is carried out in the following order:

A pit up to 55 cm deep is prepared at the location where the stove is installed. The width of the pit should exceed the dimensions of the stove by 10 cm on each side.
A waterproofing sand cushion up to 12 cm high is poured into the bottom. It is compacted tightly and moistened.
Next, formwork is installed from narrow boards, the upper part of which should be at the level of the finished floor.
A frame of reinforcing bars is installed between the boards.
The foundation is poured with concrete mixture and tamped with a construction vibrator.
After the concrete has hardened, the formwork is dismantled, and a platform of refractory bricks is laid on top in 2 rows. The height of the finished platform should be 20 cm above the floor level.

Advantages of Varvara stoves

One of the biggest advantages is its relatively low weight. Even the largest stove of this brand weighs no more than 120 kilograms (without water, fuel and stones). Almost any floor can support this weight, but if you want to cover the stove with a screen to create softer steam, you will still have to strengthen the foundation for the stove, or provide for it at the planning stage.

On the back wall of the Varvara stoves, the designers provided a special window covered with a lid, which makes it easier to care for. Inside, in the firebox, a special sheet (smoke tooth) is welded, on which soot accumulates. This is the afterburner chamber and needs to be cleaned about twice a year. That's all care.

The advantages of Varvara bath stoves include the possibility of completing

Bath stove “Varvara” equipped with a remote tank

remote or mounted tank of decent volumes:

The stainless steel remote tank, which can be installed on the second floor or used as a penetration through the ceiling, can be 120 or 60 liters in volume. Moreover, the manufacturer claims that thanks to the stainless steel heating circuit in the tank, which improves water circulation and increases heat transfer, the water in the tank will boil within an hour.
The hanging stainless steel tank has a volume of 50 liters. With this configuration, the stoves are easy to install.

The advantages of these stoves include the fact that the models are being improved and refined. So, at the beginning of 2013, all models have a unified chimney - 114 mm, and since August, changes have been made to the design of the stoves: there are fewer seams in it. In two places, welds were replaced with bends, which greatly increased the reliability of the units. Varvara stoves have an afterburning chamber, which increases efficiency. The arched arch of the combustion chamber allows for uniform heating of all zones and better air circulation.

All Varvara stoves are equipped with an external fuel chamber, i.e. fuel is added from the dressing room. If desired, the door can be ordered with fire-resistant glass and you can admire the play of the flame.

Furnace design

The internal structure of this wood-burning stove is similar to that of most classic models. The main components of this furnace are:

The firebox in which, in fact, the combustion process takes place, ensuring the transfer of heat to the structure.
The afterburner, which ensures complete combustion of gases, is located directly behind the firebox.
An ash pit that removes ash and regulates the intensity of firewood combustion, which is achieved by reducing or increasing the air flow that enters the firebox through the cast iron grate.
A chimney system that ensures the removal of combustion products.
External heater. A heat exchanger is placed between the firebox and the heater, which ensures uniform heating of the stones.
An external convector that promotes efficient heating not only of the stones and the entire structure as a whole, but also of the air in the steam room itself.

A design feature is the presence of an inspection hole, which is located on the rear wall. With its help, it is significantly easier to carry out preventive work in the form of cleaning the afterburner and combustion chamber from the soot accumulated there.

Scheme of operation of the stove for the Varvara bathhouse

One of the manufacturer’s most successful marketing moves is the “minimum configuration” - this allows for a low-cost design with additions and limited functionality. Everything else can be purchased later if the need arises. It must be noted that even the model with the minimum price is quite functional, it can be installed and operated in a bathhouse without any problems.

Flaws

The disadvantages of Varvara stoves include perhaps not the most attractive appearance. If you plan to cover the stove with a screen (and this is the most reasonable solution), then the appearance should not bother you, and there are almost no complaints about the quality of these stoves. Although there is a “Fairy Tale” stove, which is lined with soapstone. This model cannot be called unattractive.

The lineup

Models “Classic” and “Polenitsa”

The stoves have similar characteristics:

Weight 90-120 kg;
The maximum volume of the steam room is 24 m 3 ;
Weight of stones – 50 kg;
Fuel - firewood;
Air heating from 20 o C to 100 o C in 60 minutes.

Drawing of the Varvara Classic stove.
Both can be equipped with a remote tank, which is connected to the existing water supply system (it is possible to fill the tank if there is a pump). This modification allows you to organize a shower - you will need to install a mixer. These models are also available with a water heating circuit made of 1.5 mm thick stainless steel. In this case, the stove can be connected to the heating system and used to heat rooms.

Models without water heater circuits are rational to use if water is heated in boilers. It is also possible to equip the stove with a hanging tank.

"Varvara Classic" with a hanging water tank

It is convenient to use a hanging tank in cases where water is not supplied to the bathhouse. The hinged tank can always be removed and washed, because it is no secret that plaque will form on the inner surface of the tank.

“Varvara Palenitsa” has slightly smaller dimensions than “Varvara Classic”.

Drawing of the Varvara Palenica stove

Externally, “Varvara Palenica” differs little from “Varvara Classic”.
