Tunguska stove 2022 Carbon. Photo Termofor
There are twelve known Siberian rivers with the name Tunguska. And there are even more modifications of sauna stoves with this name. stove is really . “Tunguska 2017” is a deep modernization of the very first stove from the “Tunguska” line, which was designed in 2001; for more than ten years it has been a permanent sales leader.
The stove retained all the main well-known advantages of the prototype: high heating rate of the steam room, an open unventilated heater heated on five sides by an annular flow of flame for good heating of the stones, self-cleaning of the flue channels from soot accumulation, economical consumption of firewood, elegant classic design.
But the main disadvantages of the previous modifications were eliminated : the chimney was placed in the center of the stove, the firebox became solid, and the heater became very rigid. And all this without increasing the price. The manufacturer offers two furnace options: Carbon and Inox.
Kamenka
Open ventilated.
In an unventilated heater, unlike a ventilated one, the stones are not cooled by the air flow passing through it. Thus, the temperature of the stones in a non-ventilated heater, all other things being equal, is higher than in a ventilated one.

Reducing the bottom area of the open heater compared to the prototype led to an increase in its rigidity . In addition, the bottom of the heater is reinforced with external, and not internal, as before, stringers. The outer stringers are not heated by an open flame and remain rigid at a higher temperature of the bottom of the heater than the inner ones.
Mass of stones

General product reviews
The Tunguska sauna stove is manufactured; it has won the attention of consumers with its products for a long time. The products are distinguished by huge transparent screens, as well as a panoramic fuel channel, it is expanded from the firebox screen and allows you to look at the flame from the room, while you can sit in a variety of corners. However, consumers also note other advantages of these furnaces, which are expressed in the original labyrinth flue; it is capable of quickly heating a steam room, the parameters of which reach 30 m3.
The steel used for the walls is high-alloy and heat-resistant, so sauna stoves are chemically inert and almost do not burn oxygen from the room. Consumers note that the Tunguska wood-burning bathhouse stove was developed back in 2001, and to this day it is the leader in sales on the domestic market. During this time, the model has been improved and changed more than once; today it has many advantages over its analogues. Among the advantages, consumers highlight the improved passage of the convection flow, which exits along the upper perimeter of the structure.
The casing is solid, there are no ventilation holes in it, and it shields infrared radiation well. But you should also pay attention to some negative reviews, from which you can understand that not all consumers like that convection during operation of the stove will ruin the condition of the Russian bath, the air dries out, and the temperature in the steam room tirelessly rises. Some argue that a metal screen can dry out a room, so for such structures it is recommended to install a fireplace lining and install an economizer on the chimney. This requirement is mandatory and relates to basic fire safety rules. The Tunguska bath stove, which you can buy in Yekaterinburg at an affordable price, is designed for a room whose average area varies from 8 to 16 m3.
Chimney
Horizontal.
The location of the chimney is now central to make it easier to install the stove in a steam room. Since the chimney is now located at a considerable distance from the wall into which the fuel tunnel exits, it is, accordingly, easier to carry out fire protection of the wall and easier to install the ceiling groove when driving the chimney through the ceiling.
The central location of the chimney on stoves of this type is a unique feature of Tunguska 2017 . This design solution was made possible thanks to the asymmetrical layout of the furnace, the analogues of which are unknown. Neither Finnish nor Russian stoves have a similar design.
Chimney diameter
115 mm.

Reviews about choosing the right stove
Buyers emphasize that the stove may initially be good, but for many, its disadvantages are expressed in stereotypes. For example, most sauna lovers believe that the ideal stove is a design that has an open heater and is capable of raising the temperature in the steam room to 100 °C. It is precisely these stoves that consumers are trying to find in construction stores, which happens even before they begin to build the foundation for the bathhouse. Such designs sell the fastest, but true sauna connoisseurs purchase more technically competent stoves that look more impressive and are more functional.
Features/Advantages
- The furnace firebox has become one-piece bent and is made of one sheet of metal to minimize the total length of welds , which could be destroyed under extreme operating conditions of the furnace. Thus, the absence of vertical fillet welds significantly increases reliability.
- Reducing the length of the stove led to an increase in the rigidity of its side surfaces, and also made it possible to increase the space in the steam room.
- With a slight reduction in the length of the firebox to the most popular firewood length of 40 cm, the reduction in its volume was minimized by the use of a flat stove hearth, instead of the significantly beveled one of the prototype. The bevels of the firebox significantly reduced the volume of the firebox.
- When the furnace is fired, the sides of the grate underneath are covered with a layer of ash, which, being a good heat insulator, protects it from burning out, which was sometimes observed with inclined hearth walls.
Reviews of the technical characteristics of the XXL 2013 Inox model
If you prefer this option of furnace equipment, you can install it in a room whose volume reaches 12 m3. The maximum volume is 24 m3. Consumers like that these stoves use wood as fuel, which is not only cheap, but also available. The material used is heat-resistant steel, which prolongs its service life. It is noteworthy that the manufacturer provides a warranty period of 3 years.
Buyers emphasize that the firebox volume of 61 liters is quite enough. The furnace works together with stones, the mass of which is 92 kg. The weight of the stove itself is 70 kg, the maximum length of the elbow is 660 mm. Buyers emphasize that before purchasing this equipment, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the overall dimensions in order to allocate space for the stove in the steam room. Thus, the length, width and height of the device are 990x415x810 mm. The chimney supplied in the kit has a diameter of 115 mm, and its minimum height can be 5 m. The device has a built-in heat exchanger, however, this characteristic is not the only advantage; among the advantages we can also highlight the affordable cost, which is 18,900 rubles.
Reviews of the Tunguska Vitra stove
The Tunguska Vitra sauna stove has a translucent screen with a diagonal of 43 cm. According to buyers, this allows you to observe the fire without even being near the stove. The volume of the heated room can reach 16 m3, but the depth, width and height are 850x500x790 mm. These parameters, as well as the weight, which is equivalent to 57 kg, will allow you to correctly calculate the space for installing such a stove. The weight of the laid stones reaches 55 kg, but the volume of the heater is 22 dm3.
Furnace installation
Do-it-yourself installation of the Tunguska stove in a bathhouse must be carried out in compliance with fire safety rules. When factory assembled, the built-in heat exchanger should be located to the left or right of the stove. There are places for mounting the heat exchanger on both sides, so it can be rearranged if necessary; you can do this yourself. To do this, remove the screws that secure the convector casing; it should be removed and lifted up. The heat exchanger will be removed at the next stage; it is lifted up along the guides and installed on the other side of the stove. At the final stage, the convector casing is put on, after which all the screws are tightened until they stop. The heat exchanger must be rearranged before installing the furnace.
Tunguska bath stoves, reviews of which were given above, must be installed on a floor made of difficult-to-flammable or non-flammable materials. You can protect the floor surface with a metal sheet, which is placed with the long side along the structure. The dimensions of this canvas should be 700×500 mm. A distance of 1250 mm or more must be provided from the combustion door to the opposite wall. When such stoves for the Tunguska bath are installed, reviews of which may allow you to make the right choice, the floor in front of the stove and under it must be protected from fire using sheet steel on asbestos cardboard. The distance from the bottom of the stove to the floor should be 100 mm. As an alternative solution, a platform is laid under the stove, the thickness of which should be 1/4 of a brick.
Reviews of 2011 Inox brand stoves
The Tunguska 2011 bath stove will cost the consumer 14,900 rubles. Like the model described above, this one has decorative external parts, but the thickness of the firebox elements, which will be subject to the greatest thermal and mechanical loads, increases by one and a half times. Buyers like that the side walls of the firebox are reinforced with stringers. Consumers also choose this model for the reason that it is fire safe, because the equipment is fully certified and meets the requirements of the European standard. It is noteworthy that this Russian product is one of the few that is also supplied to the US markets. Modern equipment and automation systems are used to produce the furnace. If you still haven’t decided whether you need a Termofor Tunguska bath stove, then you can refer to the results of the all-Russian vote, from which you can find out what became a popular brand in 2014.
How to choose the right model
The volume of the water tank is of great importance. When deciding on a model, you should first calculate the volume of the tank: approximately 10 liters of water per person and the same amount for steaming brooms.
The products have different colors. Special heat-resistant organosilicate enamel lasts a long time on the surface of the housing “casing”, ensuring the ideal appearance of the product.
Depending on the type of building materials that were used to build the bathhouse, a product of appropriate power is selected. Thermal insulation of the building is also important. For example, for an object built of brick, it may be necessary to increase the amount of coolant by 1.20 cubic meters (in addition to every 1 sq.m. of non-insulated surface). If the bathhouse is built of wood, the power of the heating unit is calculated differently.
Appearance and performance characteristics
It has the shape of an inverted pyramid, due to this it is possible to heat a larger volume of stones. Equipped with a deep heater and heats up to 500 degrees Celsius. To clean the Tunguska from soot and soot, you should use a special powder that is sprinkled on hot coals. It is advisable to use such powder when the heating tank and heater are cleaned of foreign elements.
The range of heating units is quite wide. For example, the classic version of the stove weighs about 50 kg, but the power of this model is quite large. Even if the door in the bathhouse is open, the firebox will cope and warm up your room in about an hour. The second option, weighing 62 kg, is more powerful - designed for a room with a cubic capacity of 20 cubic meters.
As for the operation of the model, before the first use you should make sure that the installation of the tank, chimney and the stove itself was carried out correctly. So, when igniting for the first time, the doors and windows must be open, the firebox itself must be heated for an hour with the firebox and tank full, but with an empty heater. After the wood burns out, it is necessary to empty the tank and ventilate the room. After complete cooling, you can lay out the stones - before doing this, they must be thoroughly washed. By the way, you can take not just any stones, but those specially designed for the Tunguska.
