In autumn and winter period It is very important that the house has a high-quality heating system. You don’t really want to freeze and wrap yourself in warm clothes, your teeth chattering from the cold in the room. Today there are many options for heating a living space, including for those areas where there is no central heating. Professor Butakov’s stove is one of the most economical options for heating a home.
Economical Butakov boiler: its structure and model range
Professor Butakov became a man whose invention was very much to the taste of the owners of those private houses that do not have central heating.
The design of Butakov’s heating stove is quite simple and consists of a steel body with pipes through which convection occurs, namely, the “transformation” of cold air entering the lower part of the pipes into hot air. Heated air entering the room quickly raises its temperature to the desired level.
To increase productivity, convective pipes through which air moves are located in front and behind the device.
The Butakov stove consists of the following elements:
- Air exhaust pipes;
- Two chambers - one for connecting to gas, the other for afterburning fuel;
- Ash pan;
- chimney;
- Grate.
On the stove of such a stove you can cook food or heat water. It will take about 10-15 minutes to heat 1 liter of liquid. The boiler is heated with wood, coal, pellets, peat, leftover cardboard or paper.
The advantages of this stove include:
- Affordable price;
- Small dimensions;
- Capacity;
- Wide the lineup;
- Strength;
- Ease and convenience to use;
- Easy installation;
- Attractive appearance.
However, we must not forget that a steel stove gets very hot and you can get burned if you accidentally touch it. It also cools down quite quickly.
Among the main models of Butakov stoves, the following stand out:
- A high school student is a “baby” that can heat up to 100 square meters. m;
- Student - has more power and can already heat up to 150 kW. m;
- Engineer – 250 sq. m is not a problem for her, the capacity is 40 kg of fuel;
- Associate Professor - can take up to 100 kg of fuel and heat up to 500 sq. m;
- Professor - such a furnace can heat up to 1000 square meters. m and can be loaded with up to 200 kg of fuel;
- Academician is the most powerful stove, heats up to 1200 sq.m.
If you make a choice between them, you should take into account that for small areas you should not take very powerful units. For example, “Gymnasium Student” or “Student” stoves will do a great job in a small country house.
It is also necessary to carefully study the equipment of the stoves, which may differ slightly. And, of course, pay attention to required diameter chimney.
Powerful oven "Professor" and its characteristics
The “Professor” stove is one of the most powerful “Butakov” units.
Its characteristics speak for themselves:
- Power is 40 kW;
- Efficiency is 85%;
- The area that such a unit can heat is 1000 square meters. m;
- The weight of this stove is 57 kg.
According to reviews, Profesor boilers are the most profitable in their category, especially if you need to heat a large area of a residential building or warehouse.
This model belongs to long-burning stoves. Therefore, you cannot heat the heat supply surfaces of such a device more than 350 degrees.
By the way, the heat sink of convective pipes can heat not only one room, but also neighboring rooms, if directed where it is needed. Typically, such a puller is fixed on the side of the stove and moved apart using aluminum corrugations.
A feature of Butakov stoves is also considered to be the absence of condensate - it simply enters the firebox and evaporates there.
Popular oven "Associate Professor" and its features
One of the popular models of Butakov stoves is the “Associate Professor”. It is ideal for heating production premises and large cottages.
It is not as powerful as “Professor”, but also has impressive characteristics:
- Its efficiency is also 85%;
- Power is 25 kW;
- The area that the stove can heat is up to 500 square meters. m;
- The weight of the device is about 150 kg.
When purchasing an “Associate Professor” stove, you can choose models with completely blind doors or those with glass inserts. The doors of the unit are very reliable and are not prone to deformation. For heating, wood with a moisture content not exceeding 20% is usually used. You can cook or reheat food on the top surface of the oven.
Self-installation of stoves Professor Butakov
Installing Butakov stoves is not difficult and is quite easy to handle. But you must follow safety rules when working.
Particular attention should be paid to the chimney, which must be smooth, thermally insulated and sealed. The location of the oven should be away from flammable substances and materials.
The boiler is installed as follows:
- First, prepare the place where the heating device will stand. This does not require any foundation. The boiler is installed on the floor, on a surface previously insulated with metal sheets.
- The nearby walls also need to be covered with thermal insulation approximately 25 cm above the height of the stove itself. Plaster on a metal mesh can be used as an insulator.
- A metal sheet measuring approximately 700x500 mm is laid out in front of the firebox. In this case, the 700 mm part should fit directly to the firebox.
- A chimney is being made. To do this, a hole is drilled in a selected location on the ceiling, which is also thermally insulated with basalt wool and metal sheets. After this, it is connected to the furnace through a tee and removed to the outside.
- The smoke pipe must be 50 cm higher than the roof ridge. Moreover, the part of it located outside the room must be well insulated with material that is not afraid of high temperatures. The ideal option is the so-called “sandwich pipes”. The hole in the roof is also sealed with basalt wool.
When making a chimney, you should remember exactly what height is needed for this particular stove. Additionally, the space around the stove can be lined fire brick or other non-combustible materials.
According to safety rules, the stove should not be closer to the wall than 380 mm.
Furnaces Professor Butakov (video)
Butakov furnaces have become popular and widespread due to their performance, efficiency, reliability and cost-effectiveness. In addition, in accordance with the needs and heated volume of the room, you can choose a stove that is ideally suited to its characteristics. It is quite possible to install such a unit yourself, without using the services of professionals.
Today there is a wide range of modern heating equipment, running on gas and earth energy ( heat pumps) are perhaps the most economical ways to heat a home. However, the good old wood and coal stoves still occupy their rightful place among heating devices. One of the most economical devices in its class is the heating stove of Professor Butakov.
Air heating boiler "Professor Butakov" model Student.
This uniquely designed stove is designed for efficient air heating. various rooms: private houses and cottages, garages, greenhouses, industrial, warehouse and basement premises.
History of the Butakov furnace
The first sample of this design was manufactured in the second half of 2002 in the Novosibirsk region. A few months later, the sample received all the necessary certificates, and at the end of 2004 a patent for the invention was received (patent number 2242679). The author of the design is heating engineer E.Yu. Zubkevich, who named his design in honor of his grandfather’s brother, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor S.E. Butakova.
A year later, in October 2003, Zubkevich entered into an agreement with the Termofor company, which took over the production and sale of products. However, cooperation was suspended in 2008.
Design and principle of operation
Operating principle heating stoves Professor Butakov is based on the process of convection ( warm air always goes up). The principle is the same as that of the stove, the only difference (besides appearance), lies in the presence of “Butakovo” stoves with a grate (grid). It was the Buleryan stove that was taken as the basis when creating a new design.
The heat-resistant cast iron grate protects the bottom of the firebox from premature burnout; it is the grate that is most susceptible to fire. If the grate burns out, it can be easily replaced with a new one.
Note! For Bureryan, the role of the grate is played by ash, which must be at the bottom of the firebox. The firewood burns directly on the ash.
The grate ensures uniform combustion over the entire area of the firebox and also controls the air supply. Thanks to this, you can increase the air supply to the firebox, thereby accelerating the heating of the room.
Through the grate, combustion residual products enter the ash compartment, from where they are subsequently cleaned out. Cleaning can be carried out directly while the furnace is operating, which allows the use of fuel with highly educated soot Intense combustion is used to burn off accumulated soot.
The ash compartment is equipped with a valve, thanks to which you can regulate the volume of air entering the firebox.
Important! The oven is designed to operate in smoldering mode. Prolonged operation of the unit at temperatures above +350°C is not allowed.
The design of Butakov heating stoves consists of a welded steel body with built-in pipes, which play a key role in the entire structure; it is through them that the convection process is carried out. Cold air is drawn in through the bottom of the pipes, then passes along the body and is heated, and the hot air exits through the top of the pipes. The heated air quickly spreads throughout the heated room, which allows for a short time bring the temperature to a comfortable level. For greater efficiency convection pipes are also located in the front and rear parts of the furnace body.
Firewood, as well as various briquettes and pellets are used as fuel.
The upper part of the body can be used for cooking and heating water. On average, 1 liter of water heats up in 10-15 minutes.
Advice! The furnace body is coated with silicone paint and industrial oils, which emit when heated bad smell. Therefore, it is recommended to do the first heating of all rooms (1-2 hours in combustion mode). During subsequent kindlings, an unpleasant odor will not appear.
The entire range of Butakov stoves has Beautiful design, which will suit almost any interior.
High school student
Model "Gymnasium student"
A distinctive feature of this model is that it is a heating and cooking unit. A special cooking stove is installed in the upper part of the body (modifications “Gimnasist-2” (with a cooking plate and a total weight of 49 kg and a power of 8 kW) and “Gimnasist-3” (with a cooking mug and a total weight of 34 kg)), which is absent in other models. However, the absence of cookers does not mean that other models cannot be used for cooking and boiling water.
The chimney outlet is located in the upper part of the body, which saves space in the room. However, this design has significant shortcomings: condensate and soot fall directly into the furnace;
It is inconvenient to clean the chimney, because... Each time you have to take it out of the oven, which is quite problematic.
The Gymnasist-1 modification features a design without a hob.
Characteristics:
- Power - 5 kW

One of the most common models, ideal for country houses and small private houses, as well as for well-insulated private houses bigger size. The heating stove of Professor Butakov Student has an increased diameter of pipes, as well as a smaller thickness of their walls, which allows for increased heat transfer, because The “live” cross-section for air movement through the pipes increases in this case from 35% to 70%.
The chimney outlet is located in the rear part of the housing and is attached through a tee. This design solution allows it to be installed without disconnecting it from the stove. To begin cleaning, you only need to disconnect the removable bottom of the tee. In addition, condensation and soot fall into the tee, and not into the oven itself, like in the Gimnasist. The tee is equipped with a valve, thanks to which you can adjust the draft. The bottom of the tee is equipped with a special fitting for removing condensate.

How to choose?
When selecting a Butakov heating stove model, you should pay attention to the following points:
- The area of the heated room. If you have a small country house or a small greenhouse, it is accordingly better to take the “Gymnasium student” or “Student” models. There is no point in overpaying for the stove itself and for the fuel when using it.
- Equipment. Each model has modifications that differ slightly from each other: type of fuel; the presence of a thermomanometer or heat-resistant glass on the door.
- Chimney diameter.
Installation
There are no particular difficulties in installing Professor Butakov’s furnace, however, it is necessary to follow certain rules related primarily to fire safety. The main attention should be paid to the chimney, which must be sealed, level and thermally insulated, as well as the location of the boiler and its isolation from combustible materials. In many ways, the installation is similar to Buleryan’s installation.
So, installation is carried out in the following sequence:
Important! All chimney pipe joints must be sealed with heat-resistant sealant.
- Determine the location of the passage in the roof.
- Make a hole in the roof and install the remaining parts of the chimney. The chimney pipe should rise 500 mm above the ridge. Moreover, the part of the chimney located outside the heated room (located in conditions subzero temperatures) must be thermally insulated with a material capable of withstanding temperatures of +400°C. The ideal option is to install the so-called.
- Insulate the hole in the roof with basalt wool.
- The space around the stove can be lined with bricks or other non-combustible material.

Winter has always been a very difficult time of year for summer residents or people who live in private houses. First of all, you need to take care of preparing for heating season, if not central heating. A good stove for a summer house will not let you freeze on cold winter evenings. But the old ordinary stoves for heating the house have long served their purpose. It's time to replace them with new ones and effective means heating, and Professor Butakov’s stoves will help with this.
Who is Professor Butakov?
Professor Butakov previously successfully taught at the Ural Polytechnic Institute. His works were mainly aimed at the field of heat supply and ventilation. He published several works and monographs on these topics. He is famous for the fact that thanks to his knowledge, the professor was able to create an almost ideal stove for a summer house or country house, which could heat the room for a long time and efficiently.
What is a Butakov oven?
What is the Butakov furnace and why was it called that? All Professor Butakov's furnaces operate on the same principle. Because of this, they were all included in one class of gas generator furnaces.
Butakov is not the creator of the very principle by which his invention works. This law was known even earlier. So why then was the stove named after him? The professor worked hard and studied the processes occurring during combustion. He researched many other examples of the same stoves and put all the advantages together. Professor Butakov’s stoves were adopted from others only positive sides, which make them so effective and popular among the common population.
Why are Butakovites so good?
The most important advantage is, of course, cost-effectiveness. of this class. The fuel consumption of gas generator furnaces is much less than that of conventional ones. In some models, the efficiency factor reaches eighty-five percent. For all its efficiency and economy, this furnace also has modest parameters. All these qualities make her very popular.
Where can a Butakov stove be installed?
The possibilities of Professor Butakov's furnace are almost limitless. The only thing is that it cannot be installed in an apartment, because it requires a good ventilation pipe. Full-fledged, like at the dacha, ventilation pipe you won't install it.
Dachas, country houses, industrial premises, warehouses - all this can be heated with butakov. You can also use small models to heat the greenhouse (so that the plants bear fruit all year round), barn or chicken coop. It can be installed anywhere, it is important that there is a good hood.
What can I load the oven with?
A very important indicator is what fuel the stove runs on. If it is adapted for heating with gas, but, say, there is no gas in the village, what then should be done? Here we need solid fuel stoves. Butakov’s idea to make an economical solid fuel stove extended to the entire model range. All stoves in this model range operate exclusively on solid fuel. If you plan to heat with coal, then you need to check with the seller, because there are some models that are not suitable for working on coal or peat. For heating, you can use firewood or residues from woodworking production. Cardboard and other paper products work well.
Fuel consumption and saving
Fuel consumption is an important indicator that influences the choice of stove for a country house. Nowadays, fuel for refueling a stove is not that cheap. And it still needs to be delivered. Gas fired furnaces are very economical in nature, so they are very economical. An average stove can last about eight hours on one load of fuel. This is the main indicator of the efficiency of Butakov furnaces. In this case, no less heat is generated than on a conventional stove or other firebox.
Positive aspects of the Butakov furnace
The main advantage is efficiency and good heating capacity. The small dimensions of this stove are also important, because a place for it also needs to be found.
As mentioned above, the average oven can operate on one load for about eight hours, which is a significant plus. Maximum amount burning hours depends on the stove model. The larger the firebox itself, the more the oven supports the process within itself.
Butakov stoves have one useful thing: system for collecting pyrolysis products. Pyrolysis is the process of combustion of organic or inorganic substances with minimal participation of oxygen. After pyrolysis, an unpleasant odor remains, and a lot of soot and soot remains on the pipe and walls of the furnace. Unique system collecting these same products avoids the accumulation of these substances. They collect in a tube and pass through it into the oven, where they are then burned.
Also from solid fuel There is always something left: ash or very small coals. Previously, especially old bulky stoves, it was very difficult to clean out this debris. Professor Butakov’s stoves have a special drawer into which ash, dust or fine coal is poured as it burns. You can now remove ash with just one movement, which makes cleaning the stove much easier.
As for the stove itself, there are many tubes inside it through which air circulates: cold air comes in at one end and warm air comes out of the other. This is how the convection process occurs. According to the professor’s idea, the surface of the furnace also participates in this process, heating up to fairly high temperatures. This is both good and bad. Of course, you can cook with it, but this is ineffective, since it is not designed for cooking, and this process will take a long time. But you are always welcome to warm up some borscht or porridge. Another way to save money is that you don’t need to waste gas from a cylinder (if you have one); it’s easier to put a frying pan on the Butakov stove and heat it on it. But you need to remember about safety precautions. You should be careful near the stove so as not to get burned.
Operating principle of the Butakov furnace
The principle by which Professor Butakov’s furnaces operate was discovered a long time ago. The fuel, being inside the combustion chamber, does not burn, it smolders. Due to the low oxygen content inside the firebox, wood or coal begins to smolder rather than burn. This is why you can get by for so long on just one bookmark. By the way, during smoldering, almost as much heat is released as during simple combustion, so the effectiveness of this system is obvious.
Model range of Butakov stoves
There is a whole model range of Butakov stoves: “Gymnasium student”, “Student”, “Engineer” stove (one of the most famous), “Assistant Professor”, “Professor”, “Academician”. They all differ in size and heating capabilities. The smallest and least powerful is the “Gymnasist”, but the largest and most powerful is the “Akademik” oven. Everyone will be able to choose the appropriate option.
Professor Butakov's stoves: prices for different models
Models differ in power. For example, the “Gymnasist” emits six kilowatts of heat, but the “Student” stove produces nine. That's the difference between them. The “Student” stove costs about four hundred dollars (if you buy the “Engineer”, it costs a hundred more).
The Docent stove will cost the owner six hundred and fifty dollars. Such a firebox can already well heat a large two-story Vacation home. This powerful stove can heat about five hundred cubic meters living space.
When choosing a furnace, the question arises about the best options that give a high efficiency rate and cost minimal amount fuel. One of these varieties is Professor Butakov’s stove.
The design of the Butakov furnace, according to the principle of operation and internal elements very similar to the Canadian Buleryan stove. It was this foreign stove that became the model for creating a domestic model. The main difference between the two heating models is the presence of a grate on the Butakov stove.
The design of “Butakovo” furnaces includes:
- ash pit for collecting waste from the combustion process;
- convection pipes;
- grate;
- labor for smoke removal;
- two-chamber fuel compartment. You can connect gas to one chamber, the other chamber for solid fuel;
- The body consists of welded sheets of high quality metal.
Some models have a location hob on the top surface of the oven.
Principle of operation
The operating principle of the Butakov furnace consists of two processes:
- Convection - cold air is sucked into the hole under the oven. Getting into the convection pipes, the air passes through the entire oven, heats up, and through the holes in the upper part of the oven enters the heated room. After cooling, the air falls down and enters the oven again.
- Pyrolysis is a process that occurs in the firebox. The fuel itself slowly smolders, releasing gas that enters the second chamber, where it mixes with oxygen and burns completely.
Advantages and disadvantages
Professor Butakov’s furnace has many more pronounced advantages than disadvantages, namely:
- One of the main advantages is cost-effectiveness. Thanks to the pyrolysis process, one load of solid fuel can last for 8-12 hours battery life ovens.
- Another main advantage is a high percentage of efficiency (about 80%). This indicator mainly depends on the number of convection tubes. How more pipes, the greater the heat transfer coefficient.
- Thanks to the complete combustion of fuel, the Butokawa stove is considered environmentally friendly.
- To install such a stove, you do not need additional skills and abilities.
- Thanks to the design features, the room is heated quickly and evenly.
- The walls of the furnace made of thick metal increase fire safety.
- Low price.
- Appearance matches different types interior
- Durability. The Butakov stove is made of high quality materials that will last for many years. However, it is worth remembering to timely clean the stove from ash. There is a special container for this that can be cleaned even during the combustion process.
- Possibility of heating and cooking food on the upper surface of the oven.
But this design has certain disadvantages:
- After complete combustion of the fuel, the stove releases heat very quickly.
- This stove greatly dries out the air throughout the heated room. To fix this problem, you need to do good system ventilation.
- The walls of the furnace are heated to high temperatures. If used carefully, burns can be avoided.
Model range of Butakov stoves
Professor Butakov chose interesting names for his furnace models.
Six main models of the Butakov furnace:
- The schoolboy is the smallest model. The output power reaches 6 kW. With such a stove, you can heat a room up to 100 square meters. In further upgrades (Gymnasist-2 and Gymnasist-3) there is a panel for cooking.
- Student is the most popular model, with a power of up to 9 kW. The area of the heated room is no more than 150 sq.m. In such a furnace it becomes possible to regulate the draft.
- An engineer is an ideal option for a private home. The power rises to 15 kW, and the area of the heated room is up to 250 sq.m.
- Assistant professor - a good option For big houses, and small industrial premises. Output power no more than 25 kW. Ability to heat rooms up to 500 sq.m.
- Professor - suitable for heating large warehouses and industrial premises. The power of this furnace reaches 40 kW. The area of the heated room is up to 1000 sq.m.
- Academician is the most powerful model of Butakov furnaces, producing 55 kW. You can heat up to 1200 sq.m.
All models differ in the amount of fuel loaded, size, weight, thickness of the walls of the stove itself and the diameter of the chimney pipe.
Self-production of a Butakov stove
To make a Butakov stove with your own hands, you will need the appropriate drawings. With their help, assembling your own stove will not cause much trouble and will not take a lot of time.
Sample drawings homemade stove Butakova:
Manufacturing can be divided into several steps:
- Step 1. The first step is to weld the metal cylinder. A barrel with a metal thickness of at least 10 mm is ideal for these purposes. If there is none, you need to weld the sheet into the desired shape.
- Step 2. The next thing to do is cut a circle from a sheet of metal of the same thickness, which will be 2 cm smaller than the diameter of the main cylinder. In the center of this circle you need to cut round hole with a diameter of 5 to 10 cm.
- Step 3. Now you need to take a pipe of the same diameter as the central hole on the metal circle, and weld the pipe itself to it. You need to weld a metal channel in a horizontal position onto the metal disk from below.
- Step 4. On the top of the cylinder you need to install a metal cover with a hole for the pipe coming out of the inner disk. Run the pipe and weld the lid.
- Step 5. You need to make a damper on the outlet pipe that will trap smoke.
- Step 7. In the upper part of the cylinder itself, you need to make a hole with a diameter of about 15-20 cm to serve as a chimney.
- Step 8: You need to make two holes in the bottom of the cylinder. One will play the role of a fuel window, and through the other you can clean the stove from ash. The openings should have doors with handles.
- Step 9. The final stage of making a Butakov stove with your own hands. The oven is installed on solid foundation(brick, concrete), the chimney pipe is welded, and all holes are sealed to obtain the necessary tightness.
After installing a homemade stove, you can attach a special reflector to adjacent walls to increase efficiency and fire safety.
Professor Butakov's stoves are very popular in Russia.
They are able to heat up any room incredibly quickly, which speaks volumes about the power of the product.
But the oven operates in a very economical mode.
Suffice it to say that to heat a room, naturally, of the same volume, this stove requires half the fuel compared to and almost 12 times (!) less than a “potbelly stove.”
It is curious that it is the “potbelly stove” that is the prototype of Butakov’s gas generator stoves.
The product runs on solid fuel. The following can be used as fuel:
- pressed paper
- leftover cardboard
- firewood
- fine coal.
The ideal option for using a Butakov stove is in a country house where it is impossible or unprofitable to provide electric or gas heating.
Butakov stoves are practical and quite convenient to use:
- in various warehouses
- for or basements
- various hangars
- construction cabins
- mobile stations
- other technical rooms.
The operating principle of this stove is as follows: generated through the lower holes, the air flow, warming up in the stove, enters the room through the upper holes.
Fuel smolders rather than burns because it undergoes a pyrolysis process. The minimum oxygen content leads to thermal decomposition of the fuel.
Butakov ovens are ovens long burning.
The design of Professor Butakov’s heating stoves is very simple. It consists of:
- Two-chamber firebox (gasification, afterburning);
- Ash pan (for the remains of the used product);
- Grate (this is a damper located between the firebox and the ash pan);
- Air duct pipes;
- Chimney.
As you can see, nothing new, but the scientist Butakov, taking into account the shortcomings of similar previous designs, managed to eliminate heat loss, increasing the heat transfer of his products to 85%.
All models of Butakov stoves have the same purpose, the same operating principle, identical design and common fuel. They differ in size, power, number of pipes and their diameters and volumes of heated premises.
The series is represented by six models. The most compact of them, “Gymnasist,” is made to order, the rest are mass-produced. In this article we will look at three models in this series.
The upper part of the oven is intended for full cooking (warming) of food. There are modifications with glass.
In addition, the “Student” oven can be equipped with a cast iron door or equipped with a steel door.
A 70-kilogram stove has a power of 9 kW, which allows heating rooms up to 150 cubic meters. meters. The chimney diameter is 120 mm, and the maximum fuel loading volume is 20 liters
Butakov furnace “Engineer”
This 100 kg product is designed to heat large areas.
The power (15 kW) of the “Engineer” model makes it possible to heat 250 cubic meters. meters.
The chimney diameter is similar to the previous model, but the maximum fuel loading volume is twice as large - 40 liters.
Like the “Student”, the “Engineer” model has two modifications. The first option is equipped with a steel door, and the second is equipped with a cast iron door equipped with a translucent screen.
Model “Professor”
The second most powerful installation, after the “Akademik” model.
A 230-kilogram stove with a power of 40 kW is capable of heating a room of 1000 cubic meters. meters.
This model, equipped with a 200 mm chimney diameter, is able to heat large production workshops, huge garages and other similar facilities.
One load (200 liters) of fuel will heat the room for a long time.
If the “Professor” model will work only on coal, then it has two modifications regarding the output chimney. In the first case - up, in the second - back.
Reviews of Professor Butakov's stoves
“...The design of Butakov stoves is incredibly beautiful. For example, the Buleryan stove resembles some kind of monster, and you can’t put anything on it. But Butakov is attractive in appearance, and you can heat food on it, and even connect heating to it...”
“...Butakov’s stove is good. Completely satisfied. I have a small house at my dacha (5.5 x 6.2) with one brick, plus ursa and siding. As soon as you turn on the stove in 30-degree frost, after 30 minutes the temperature in the house reaches +27. If you fully heat the stove closer to night, the red firebrands will still be there in the morning...”
“...I bought Butakov as a brick. As soon as I start heating, the heat is released into the rooms through the air grilles. Then the brick heats up, giving off heat even when the fire is completed. I have two-storey house. On the ground floor there are two rooms, plus a porch. I like the products I purchased...”
Do you have a private two-story house and can’t decide on a heating system? The article at: will help you make the right decision.
So, why is it worth buying Butakov stoves?
- The design of the firebox of these models resembles a truncated parallelepiped. Therefore, during the thermal decomposition of fuel, thermal energy is used as much as possible;
- The air pipes inside the perimeter of the firebox are located strictly vertically. They intersect only at the top, being in a gas-flame environment, at a specially calculated angle;
- The inlets of the air duct pipes are equipped with horizontal cuts located 120 mm from the base of the footrests. This allows air to flow absolutely freely into the gas generator. And the presence of gas guide flaps allows for extremely efficient use of the gas-flame flow;
- Due to the location of the convector casing on the combustion door, the door is a full-fledged “participant” in the heat exchange process;
- Due to the ash pan (a special box for waste products), it is possible to clean out the ash without interrupting the operation of the boiler;
- The upper surface of Butakov furnaces is in contact with the flame flow. And since it is horizontal, it is possible to heat food on it.
- Butakov's gas generator boiler burns evenly. If it is necessary to increase the temperature and speed up the combustion process, a large replaceable grate is used;
- The professor noticed that condensation usually settles on the walls of chimneys (during fuel combustion). These are liquid decomposition products with a very unpleasant odor. Therefore, the scientist decided to use a vertically mounted chimney connection pipe. With this decision, he achieved the return of liquid products back to the oven, where they burn completely (without residue);
- The oven, after being fully loaded, can operate in the range of 8-12 hours, the operating time depends on the model;
To ensure additional safe operation, when installing Professor Butakov’s furnace, it can be fixed to the floor.
