Today, the production of solid fuel boilers is represented by many companies on the Russian market. It is pleasant to note that domestic manufacturers hold a confident position, despite fierce competition from foreign market giants, as solid fuel boilers of Russian production are more adapted to the peculiarities of operation in our realities than imported counterparts.
Solid fuel boilers ZOTA
- In addition, they can be operated on fuel of average and low quality, which many "foreigners", spoiled by a high standard of living, simply cannot do.
- Another advantageous side of "ours" is the resistance of electronics to voltage surges, which are instantly put into a stupor by imported equipment.
- Affordable price is also of no small importance - it is quite a weighty argument in the competitive struggle.
As for the functional "bells and whistles" and the level of automation, here we are still lagging behind, but I would like to hope that this is temporary.
Siberia products
These solid fuel boilers differ from other models by the presence of a steel hob, which allows them to be used not only for heating the room, but also for cooking. They can operate on wood, coal and other types of solid fuels, have a power of up to 30 kW and are capable of heating private households and summer cottages.
Solid fuel boiler Siberia with a water circuit, presented in the form of a boiler, can provide residents with hot water.
Solid fuel boilers manufactured in Russia under the Siberia brand with a water circuit are also produced. Water heating in them is carried out with the help of electric heating elements, which can also be used in the process of cooking, both in an independent mode and when burning fuel. The presence of a built-in thermostat in the heating element forces the boiler to turn on to maintain the required temperature.

The outer walls of the device have a polymer coating that protects it from rust and mechanical damage. The large furnace allows the use of wood up to 60 cm long, and coal can be loaded from above through cast iron burners. A thermometer is built into the boiler drum to indicate the temperature of the heating medium.
The advantage of this equipment also includes:
- Ability to work on coal, briquettes and wood
- Small size
- It can be used with any chimney
Of the shortcomings, it is worth highlighting only the systematic cleaning of ash and control over the combustion process, with the need to periodically add fuel.
Due to its design features, the solid fuel boiler Siberia has good reviews and is the best option where there is no gas.
Testimonials
Ruslan Sergeev, 45 years old, Krasnodar.
We had a boiler Zota Smoke. I liked that it is quite small, otherwise our kitchen is tidy. Holds firewood up to 40 centimeters. If you wish, you can install a special heating element, there is an opening for this, but we have not installed it yet, so I can not say anything. The boiler heats up quickly by itself, plus heats up the whole house quickly enough. I liked that there is a tile - you can save a lot on electricity. But firewood burns out very quickly, so in the near future you will have to connect heating elements.
Alexander Zakharchenko, 28 years old, Ufa.
I use "Bourgeois K" to heat an 80 m2 wooden house. The house is warm, there are six radiator batteries plus a heat accumulator for two hundred liters. Only two downloads per day are enough. After the boiler is extinguished, the heat is kept for another three to four hours.
Anna Ivanova, 30 years old, Astrakhan.
Dobrynya's solid fuel boiler saved us in winter. There are very expensive plots of land in the city, so we built a house in the country. All the amenities are there, but there is no gas. Therefore, you have to use coal and wood in the winter.
The old solid fuel boiler was out of order, I had to buy a new one. In Astrakhan, only one place sells such boilers, and at the same time only Dobrynya. Therefore, we had no choice as such. The size of our house is 150 square meters. We bought a model 18 to have more.
The firebox is large and spacious. It is suitable for everything - pellets, coal, firewood. There is an excellent pellet hopper for sale, but we did not buy it. Pellets are too expensive.
At the bottom of the unit there is a scoop. Ash and ash are poured into it. It's easy to look after - pulled out and poured out. You can additionally purchase a draft regulator and a heating element - there is a possibility of connection. We didn’t do that.
It was promised that the firewood will burn until eight o'clock. Here they burn out in half an hour. The coal burns for only an hour, which is very sad. But we do not fill the entire furnace with wood - we have few of them. We use firewood only for coal ignition.
In general, we are very satisfied with the work of the boiler. The house heats up quickly. We have warm enough winters, so we heat it a couple of times a day, and that's enough. The house retains heat well. True, it gets cold in the morning. The boiler is easy to use. The boiler heats up the water quickly.
Artem Blinov, 40 years old, Kostroma.
We bought ourselves a boiler Bourgeois-k T-10A in our country house. In just an hour, he heats up the heating system to 600. Very convenient - he loaded a full firebox and you can be free for half a day. The store recommended buying a chimney sandwich for the boiler, but we refused. This did not affect the power in any way. Even freshly cut firewood was loaded, everything works fine.
Ekaterina Severnyuk, 27 years old, Gomel.
We have Zota Master. Good efficiency, but I don't like the service categorically. The biggest drawback is that when using strong coal, the gas outlet pipes are clogged after the third furnace. At the same time, it is impossible to clean with a brush, which the manufacturer advises. First we punch with a rasp, then we clean with an iron brush. I do not advise anyone to buy such nonsense. Even if they give away for nothing, don't take it.
Alexey Litvinov, 20 years old, Poltava.
We use Zota Master 12. The boiler was given to us by our parents, so we didn't have to choose. It is quite compact, so it fits well into our house. There is a hob that we actively use. The set included three heating elements for 2 kW plus a heating element control panel. The cauldron itself is a cheerful blue.
The depth of the firebox is small - 48 centimeters, so I had to stock up on short firewood. More precisely, cut the long ones in half. The firebox is not voluminous. If you use coals, only one 12-liter bucket will fit. If you shove a bucket and a half, the flue pipes are closed. Charcoal has to be poured through the hob. The largest circle is only 24 cm, so it is very difficult to pour in the charcoal carefully.
The grates have no recess, so when the loading door is opened, the burning coals tend to wake up on the floor. During use, the inside of the loading door was bent due to the high temperature. A thermometer is built into the boiler, but the glass on it has become cloudy, so there is no sense from it.
The instructions said that you need to monitor the pressure, and that it should not exceed 0.3 MPA. But for some reason there was no pressure gauge in the device, so the device had to be installed by ourselves.
The ash pan is small, so after every two buckets of coal that have been burned, you have to clean it. It is inconvenient to take out the ash directly in the ash pan, it wakes up. Therefore, you have to pour the ash with a scoop.
Vitaly Nikolaev, 48 years old, Omsk.
We use two Bourgeois-K boilers, T-100 models, to provide heat to two two-story houses. Each of them has twelve apartments. We heat an area of one thousand square meters with wood. meters. We load fuel almost every six to ten hours. We turn on the second boiler only in winter, the rest of the time one is enough.
Maria Pirogova, 47 years old, Stavropol.
We have a Zota Master 20. There is no hob, but there are problems. There is no pressure gauge and traction regulator. Logs of normal size simply do not fit into the firebox. Plus, due to the strange design of the heat exchanger, it is impossible to load a full firebox with wood. All the time there is an abyss of free space. We heat a small house with an area of only 42 meters. But there is no normal regulator, and it is problematic to set the required temperature in the batteries.
After the firewood is lit, we completely close the door in the chimney, and also close the flap for blowing. So the temperature in the system is maintained at 65-85 degrees. It is not possible to bring down the temperature below 65 degrees. It is almost impossible to use the boiler without a thermostat.
Heating equipment Viadrus
Products of the Czech manufacturer are represented by a wide range of models. The most common is the Viadrus Herkules U22 C / D model. It has been produced since the end of the last century, and during this time it has not lost its relevance, thanks to constant improvement.

Expert advice
If you decide to purchase a pyrolysis boiler, then first of all you should pay attention to the secondary air supply regulator with a combustion chamber. If such a regulator is present, it will ignite the CO2 generated during the solid fuel combustion phase. This can increase the efficiency of the equipment.
Heating equipment model Hearth
Devices of this brand are made of steel and are most effective when heating rooms up to 250 m². These are the products of OOO Gazstroy, they are considered one of the best among local counterparts.

The modern modification is equipped with two special holes for heating elements and has an elongated firebox designed for firewood.
But their greatest advantage is the possibility of converting to another type of fuel - gas.So when the line is connected, the boiler does not have to be changed, it will be enough to install an appropriate gas burner in it.
Availability of additional functionality
Pyrolysis boilers most often have an automatic draft regulator, while the circuit is connected to the lower air supply window. The required volume of air is supplied under the grate to ensure fuel combustion. As soon as the wood is on fire, the chain adjuster will help close the lower window, eliminating excessive air flow into the combustion chamber. A Russian-made solid fuel boiler can also have manual adjustment, with its help you can reduce or increase the thrust by choosing a certain temperature regime.

Equipment brand Prometheus
Russian solid fuel boilers for long burning are produced by various manufacturers. But not all of them can claim the role of leading production, like Sibenergoterm.
It produces a solid fuel boiler Prometheus with a capacity of up to 45 kW. Which can be used for heating even production halls up to 450 m² in size.
The main type of fuel for them is coal. But in comparison with other models, they are small in size, economical consumption of firewood, non-volatile.
The range of such devices is equipped with a volumetric loading chamber, which ensures long-term operation. Made of steel with anti-corrosion treatment, the solid fuel boiler Prometheus has reviews in which they speak of its reliability and efficiency.
The functional feature of the apparatus is a significant external area of the heat exchanger, enveloped by hot exhaust gases and flames, which guarantees high heat transfer, and made it possible to achieve high efficiency. The thermal insulation of the front walls of the boiler also contributes to an increase in this indicator.
The loading of firewood is done manually, while during the burning of the lower logs, the upper layers dry out, which also increases the efficiency. For ignition, the combustion flap is opened, which leads to increased draft. It is closed after the combustion chamber has warmed up, and then the boiler operates as usual.
The ash drawer has a convenient design and is easy to remove, which greatly simplifies its cleaning. The set of the device also includes the necessary devices for this:
