A comment
I myself am from Yoshkar-Ola, and I have a summer house in Kokshaysk. From early youth, I dreamed of my own house in a holiday village by the lake, in which I would spend after-hours evenings surrounded by my family and dog. My dream came true, I bought a two-story house with an area of about 150 square meters. Garage in the basement, sun loungers on the big porch on the second floor, sauna, gazebo ... beauty.
With the onset of the first autumn cold, the question arose of heating all this good. It is clear that the bathhouse is a separate issue, constant heat is not needed there. But the family and the dog in the house began to freeze, it was necessary to think something. In addition, I am a car enthusiast, and for me an important factor is a warm garage.
I went through a lot of options, and bought heat electric guns, and diesel guns, burned super-birch firewood in the fireplace, but this was enough for a couple of hours, and the electric guns ate a lot of electricity, horse bills came. As well as electric boilers, they are more or less uniform, but extremely uneconomical.
The neighbor advised me to look at solid fuel boilers of long burning (this is when the tab burns not from bottom to top, like in a Russian stove, but from top to bottom like a candle). I went to fumble on an Internet ..
Naryl of such producer Stropuva, are in St. Petersburg, but almost every region has its own dealers. I looked at their assortment.
I settled on the solid fuel boiler Stropuva S20U, this version produces 20 kW of heat, plus it is universal, it can equally burn wood, pellets and coal. On coal, I managed to achieve 5 days of burning, no need to run to the boiler and constantly check it, as they say, every 4 hours, as to other boilers.
The boiler is as simple as a drum, but everything ingenious is simple. A particularly important factor is the binding unit of this boiler, many independent master-of-all-hands do everything the old fashioned way, but it all comes out in one place, because this boiler is not bad, it's just different. It is important to follow the strapping technology recommended by the manufacturer, and everything will be buzzing. If all conditions are met, the boiler will give out all the indicators indicated in the passport.
pros
really LONG burns
really warm
running and checking it is NOT necessary, it works automatically after bookmarking
Minuses
The price is certainly not cheap, but I save about 50 thousand rubles per heating season from one bookmark of coal - that is, the boiler beats itself off after 3 months.
