Who of us had not dreamt of an evening in a cosy house, in front of a fireplace with a dancing fire and a glass of wine or a cup of hot tea in his hand, while the wind was blowing, heavy rain or a blizzard was raging outside? It seems difficult to fulfill this dream because of the complicated construction of traditional fireplaces, but the manufacturers of heating equipment met the expectations of customers and modernized the goats that have been known for years, i.e. free-standing stoves.
The modern free-standing stove with its appearance refers to the traditional fireplace heating stylish houses and manors. It no longer resembles, like in the middle of the twentieth century, a smoking coke oven set in the middle of the apartment to the housewife's horror. Standalone stoves are now designed to combine their basic heating functions with stylish design. Such a combination guarantees the usefulness of the device, while making it a decoration of our home.
Both manufacturers and users of freestanding stoves emphasize that equipping a flat or house with them is a good solution, because these devices have almost all the advantages. One of the greatest advantages of a freestanding stove is its mobility. The device can be placed in any place, and the only condition is the possibility of connecting to the chimney. Modern goats are much lighter than a traditional fireplace, so their installation does not require strengthening the ceiling. Freestanding stoves do not take up much space and do not require any special housing, so they are perfect even for small rooms, and a closed combustion chamber will ensure safety of use. Despite their small size, free-standing stoves have the power to heat even a hundred meters high house. The goat conveys heat throughout its entire surface, as well as by means of a flue pipe, which significantly increases its efficiency.
It is worth noting that the free-standing stove can also be equipped with additional elements allowing it to be used for baking and cooking, and can be fitted with a modern afterburner system, which guarantees cleanliness of the equipment. Maintaining the unit in good condition is not difficult due to the removable grate, which makes it easy to clean and empty from unburnt debris. The advantage of a freestanding stove is its economic and ecological efficiency. The stove is fired by inexpensive, renewable energy sources (usually wood or wood briquette). It is worth noting that modern devices are available in a wide range of colors and patterns, which allows you to choose equipment tailored to individual customer needs. An undeniable advantage is also the fact that free-standing stoves will bring joy to anyone who would like to spend time looking at a burning fire, but cannot afford to install a traditional fireplace.
First of all, we should be interested in the power of the stove. 1 kW of power is sufficient on average to heat 10-12 m2. When you buy a freestanding stove, you should therefore adjust its output to the size of the room you want to heat. An important aspect of choosing a good device is also the smoking time, which should not be less than eight hours. This will allow for comfortable use of the equipment. It is also important that the efficiency of the stove is not less than 70%.
The impractical goat-type ovens, which are often part of our grandparents' homes, have long since become a thing of the past, giving way to modern free-standing ovens that combine functionality with an interesting design. The use of modern technologies and designs in line with the latest trends in design make the freestanding stoves can be a real decoration of our homes and apartments and provide the warmth of home fires on long autumn and winter evenings.
