Unfortunately, the times when the glorious stove-stove was an invariable attribute of the interior of any more or less equipped dwelling have long sunk into oblivion. They were replaced by the notorious batteries, hobs, electric kettles and ovens.
Pechkina nickname
The potbelly stove, which saw the light back in the 20s of the last century, faithfully served the residents of cities, who were most acutely aware of the lack of heating materials at that time. This simple and, by the way, a very economical and effective device worked on almost any waste. That is why it is difficult to believe that the very name "potbelly stove" could come from the high consumption of stove wood, which served as the main material for heating the premises. Rather, a bright individuality and a non-standard approach to creating a home heating system formed the basis of the name of the stove-stove, because any deviation from the norms and rules, everything new and interesting in those days belonged to the remnants of the bourgeois past, so the stove got its exquisite nickname.
History of creation
England of the 19th century became the birthplace of the stove-stove. Resourceful and inventive steelmakers offered the inhabitants of the country a very simple way out of the "heating" problem by putting on the conveyor an ultra-modern and highly technological device for those times.
It warms up perfectly, making it possible not only to quickly bring the room into a living condition, but also to cook a simple dinner.
It is interesting that today it is possible to install and operate such a device in almost any, even, sometimes, the most incredible conditions, be it military operations, a camping tent or rescue operations of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. That is why potbelly stoves are often found today, in the age of computers and gadgets.
Modern stoves-potbelly stoves
It is quite simple to make a stove; any old metal barrel, can or a simple piece of pipe will come in handy for this. Today, stove stoves continue to be used in dachas and in garages of residents of a large country.
The only design drawback is the instant cooling of the device, due to the properties of the metal itself, however, and this annoying misunderstanding can be eliminated by adding a brick lining or a draft regulator to the structure, which will make the furnace more economical and convenient to use.
In addition to its direct duties, the stove is also capable of performing organizing functions in interior design, pleasing the eye with its non-standard and antique character.
Stores offer potbelly stoves, very attractive and often decorative in nature, can be purchased in specialized stores.
