Types of Cuirassier stoves
The lineup of this brand includes the following models:
- Cuirassier;
- Cuirassier Swede;
- Cuirassier Finka;
- Cuirassier Corbis.
Shvedka and Finka are considered the most popular - it’s not for nothing that bathhouse lovers liked them.
- Cuirassier 15 Swedish. It has two doors in its design that allow you to heat the stove both from the steam room and from the dressing room. Such sauna stoves solve the problem of air burning out in the steam room due to the fact that the main intake of oxygen for combustion occurs outside of it. This model is equipped with two glass screens at once - a panoramic door in the dressing room and a viewing window in the steam room. The Swede is ideal for a small bathhouse of 6-24 m³.
- Cuirassier 10 (15) (20) Finka - such stoves for saunas and baths are designed to heat a steam room with a size of 12-26 m³, respectively. With this installation, the bath heats up to the required temperature very quickly. A large heater will ensure optimal humidity and uniform heating of the room, while the spacious firebox does not require the constant presence of a person nearby. The stove is heated exclusively from the steam room, heats up quickly and remains in working condition for quite a long time. The design allows you to add a steam generator or economizer to the Finka, which increases the volume of the heater and creates a unique atmosphere.

Wood-burning sauna stoves from GREIVARI
The company's products have long proven themselves in the market of equipment for saunas, baths and bath complexes. GREIVARI products appeared in Russia in 2009. They are produced by the Novosibirsk plant TECHNOTRADE. The founders of the company named the model line “Cuirassier”, based on the etymology of the word.
Cuirassiers are warriors, defenders, dressed in impenetrable metal armor. Stove manufacturers have created a powerful and high-tech model that consumers liked and has found its niche in the bath equipment market.
Wood-burning stoves “Cuirassier” have only positive reviews. Buyers note the high heat transfer, power and efficiency of these units. These models are superior to their counterparts from manufacturers of other companies in terms of power and firewood savings.
Design features of Cuirassier stoves
The main feature of Cuirassier models is high heat transfer due to the special productivity of heating equipment. One of the key moments of the combustion process in the furnace is the afterburning of combustible gases. When wood burns, up to 35% of volatile hydrocarbons are released. In a conventional sauna stove, they immediately leave the firebox through the pipe. The structure of Cuirassier models allows these hydrocarbons to be burned before they exit the chimney, due to which the smoke releases its entire energy potential, and the steam room receives additional degrees. Afterburning of gases is carried out due to a double oxygen supply system through the ash pan in the front and the nozzle-screen in the rear part of the installation.
Design of the Cuirassier stove
Article on the topic - types and types of stoves.
A nonlinear smoke collector allows smoke to stay in the stove longer, pass through the heater and give it the maximum amount of heat.
The beam grate is made in the form of separate elements not connected to each other. The heating point in a stove is never uniform: in one place the combustion is stronger, in another weaker. Due to this, the beams heat up, begin to move and self-clean from ash, freeing up access to oxygen.
An additional oxygen circuit that runs along the outer edge of the oven heats the air passing through it twice as fast. The container for stones has additional holes.
It is impossible to pour stones into the heater due to the slight slope of its bottom. The water flows to one side, accumulates there and gradually evaporates, creating soft humidity in the steam room.
The chimney pipe is made of a 1.5 mm thick stainless steel sheet - it is installed in the maximum heating zone.
For the manufacture of the firebox, sheet steel with a thickness of 3-6 mm is used, for the smoke collector and deflector - 6 mm. The durable, heat- and corrosion-resistant material from which the equipment is made ensures their reliability and durability.
And a number of additional features that do not directly affect performance, but increase usability, can be noted:
- The direction of opening the doors can be changed by reversing the curtains;
- the minimum number of seams in the firebox ensures additional reliability of installation;
- Thanks to the adjustable legs, the unit can be placed on any surface.
Review: Wood-burning stove Cuirassier 10 Standard Greivari – I just love it!
At the dacha, in our old bathhouse, the stove was heated directly from the steam room, almost in the dark. And so we decided to build a normal bathhouse with a good steam room. Based on recommendations, we found builders, and they already advised us to purchase this stove. I don’t really have anything to compare it to, so I’ll just share my impressions. The stove is heated from the dressing room or rest room, which is a huge plus for it - the floor in the steam room remains clean.
The door can be transparent, with heat-resistant glass, but we didn’t need this option. It looks stylish; after two years of use, the shiny edging has not peeled off or faded.
Firewood must be placed deep in the stove. Choose logs less than 45 cm, since the depth of the firebox is 47 cm.
The ash is raked out into a special box.
The firebox door opens 180 degrees, but 90 is enough for us.
Well, now I invite you to the bathhouse
