Redpill me on Stoves. Where and how can I get a good stove for my house in northern continental Europe. I was thinking about getting either a proper Masonry heater but I wouldn't know where to source that or just a simple iron stove, which is getting increasingly heard to find because of the normal gays buying them up for their apartments here. Gas crisis and all that.
I just like open fires. Don't care about the Russians, don't care about the Ukrainians. I've always wanted a stove.
>I just like open fires.
Make your house colder.
Is nice Russian stove.
They're a b***h to start cold. Literally have to start a small fire in the chimney to get the hot air rising out of it and drawing through the heat box.
>Make your house colder.
This is true. A well chimney'd, roaring fire draws cold air in from outside through every crack you can imagine and many you can't. The game is to get the stove hot enough and radiating to get ahead of that curve.
>roaring fire draws cold air in from outside through every crack you can imagine and many you can't.
you're supposed to have an air inlet vent positioned near the fire and directly connected to the outside
>you're supposed to have an air inlet vent
Yep. And yet the number of naive constructions don't do this. Even on Russian stoves, where it's in the middle of the room and an inlet has to come down from above you rarely see them outside Siberian villages.
It's just easier to starve the fire when you feel the draft.
Why would you do this? I'm led to believe that you're all willing to endure colder conditions as a sign of solidarity and refusal to bow to Putin's bullying tactics.
Wtf I'm not a wagie. I don't keep up with the times. I'm independent (wagies call this self EMPLYOED)
No, frick this. I want to be warm. There's been enough winter in my inbred Euro blood for me to make it up to my ancestors.
HEINRIC CÄSARIUS I'M HEATING THESE COALS FOR YOU homie I GOTCHU
The best thing to have is an iron kitchen stove because it's dual use, not just for heating. And cooking on it is fun because it's powerful af, better even than a gas burner. Ideal for baking all sorts of meat dishes for hours on end, too. Not so great for pastries because it's not so easy to regulate and in sustained operation gets a wee bit too hot for baking, but you get used to it.

which is why you have several ovens at different levels

Sounds like something a bakery would do. In domestic use, opening the hatch for half a minute or however long you need to reach the desired start temperature is usually enough. Goes back up fairly slowly, so it'll remain in the right ballpark for typical pastry baking durations.
A two or three oven stove is pretty common no?
I've seen them before, so I know they exist but mine only has one oven.
WTF is going on with the pillows on what looks like a hard surface?
Do you lay on heated HARD surface but you get pillow for head?
doesn't look big enough to lay on?
WTF???
This is for cats, right? Otherwise I can't make any sense of it. I could probably hang my big-ass so my knees are over the railing while getting a nice solid surface for my back, but otherwise I couldn't make any sense of it other than being ornamental.

you can thank me later
I'm also interested in building a masonry stove in my unfinished basement that will also replace the deteriorating stairs. I already have a central chimney and cold air intake. Here are some of my concepts, what do you guys think? Anyone done this before?
if you buy new dont get scammed on expensive 3000€ stoves,
its just a box of steel with stones inside.
also if regulations change in 5 years you wont have wasted alot of money,
>Germany now banns stoves made before 2014
Is 199 Es a lot of Es?
