There used to be such a stove in every house, but now it is a real treasure. Bashny.Net

What a Ukrainian house without a stove! And the bigger the house, the more massive the stove. The stove occupied most of the house and was not only used for cooking. They slept on the stove, there were children playing. The stove warmed the whole house and gave comfort and well-being. The furnace of long burning on wood for the house is becoming popular in our time.



The Ukrainian people attached great importance to the furnace. This is one of the symbols of the house in which harmony and well-being live. Before the holidays, wedding or christening, the oven was necessarily whitewashed and painted. In each house, a special ornament was applied to the oven, which served as decoration and transmission of traditions. The oven symbolized the maternal principle, the inviolability of the family. It is not in vain that they say that “a woman is the protector of the hearth.” Editorial "Site" I have prepared for you a short excursion to the Ukrainian folk hut. And also prepared you some ideas on how to combine a modern interior with a wood stove.



The furnace of long burning on wood for the house Around the oven always revolved life. The mother cooked lunch in the oven, the children played while sitting on the oven. They slept there because it was the warmest place. And the oven for a long time kept warm and heated the whole house. In the oven there were many different size niches, in which they stored dishes, food supplies and everything necessary. They sank the stove with firewood, later began to use coal. The design of the furnace was very large and hardy. Under it was laid a powerful foundation of stones and wooden decks.



Today, a traditional stove can be found only in the village. And that is very rare, because there are very few specialists who know how to lay it out correctly. The right foundation, inclination, traction is a very serious process, the violation of which can lead to sad consequences. Traditional furnaces were replaced by more compact rough furnaces. Today in the modern interior they are often found. But they do not only play a decorative role. Many in the construction of a house lay heating system based on rough.



Peels Alternative to the old oven in the interior They very well heat the house and give it coziness. After all, what could be more cozy than the measured crackling of wood in the hearth? Coarse, like furnaces, are laid out and decorated from various materials. Often you can meet rough, laid out with beautiful ornament or tiles. It's a whole work of art and skill. And they have a very high heat transfer, and the heat spreads throughout the house. Sink rough, as a rule, wood, but in modern performance other options are possible.



Peels Another alternative to a large stove is a fireplace. It is more compact, but has a more decorative character. Laying the fireplace with the right traction is just as important as the oven. In the modern interior, electric fireplaces are increasingly found to complete the image of the living room. But to meet the stove of long burning on wood for the house today is almost impossible. And the functional abilities of such a furnace have already decreased much. It is unlikely that modern housewives will cook food in it or put children to sleep on it.
