If we talk about the quality and power of sauna stoves, then the Cuirassier series is one of the most proven in this regard. In Russia, Greyvari stoves are developed and manufactured in Novosibirsk, at. And they are also called “cuirassiers”. For reference: a cuirassier is an armed warrior from past centuries. In Russia, Cuirassier stoves went on sale only in 2009 - but the reviews until that time were almost all positive. For example, those bath attendants who have already acquired such a stove often praise it for its significant savings in wood, while maintaining the heat at the proper level. A gallant cavalryman, reliability and protection - the Cuirassier stove is so named for a reason: after all, in terms of power, Cuirassier stoves are superior to most of their analogues from other manufacturers.
Description of the Cuirassier stoves
Naturally, if you need to consider “Greyvari” stoves, then you should start with the “Cuirassier” line, since it is one of the most common among buyers of this equipment.
The first two most important reasons why these stoves have earned such popularity are their simplicity of design and affordability. In addition, to the significant advantages it is worth adding a fairly high efficiency factor when burning fuel. It is due to the fact that there is a beam grate, as well as a drawer for ash. All these devices are quite simple, but at the same time they allow air to be supplied as efficiently as possible to the lower section of the stove, in other words, under the firewood.
In addition, this design has an aerodynamic nozzle on top, which allows carbon to be burned in the upper part of the fuel combustion due to the secondary air supply. Here we can only add that even the first cubic meter of air that enters the firebox has a temperature of about 150 degrees Celsius, due to which no external cooling occurs at all.
Performance characteristics: what you should know
The big advantage of Cuirassier sauna stoves over their analogues is the firebox with especially thick walls made of alloy steel - in places of the highest temperature loads it reaches as much as 6 mm! In addition, the back wall is additionally reinforced with a special protective screen.
The number of seams in the firebox itself is reduced to a minimum, thereby achieving the necessary integrity and making the structure more rigid. Such fireboxes are much less likely to warp from high temperatures. The Cuirassier outlet pipe is also of good quality - it is made of 1.5 mm thick stainless steel, and in the upper part of the firebox there is also a hole for cleaning the heat sink of the stove yourself. Those. The wall thickness in this furnace is not the same - it ranges from 3 to 6 mm. The front wall is thinner, the back wall is thicker. And only the Cuirassier Inox model is made of 3 mm thick steel.
The installation of powerful and bulky Cuirassier stoves is not difficult either - the main thing is to follow all safety rules. And, if such a stove is not used often and carefully, then it will be able to live for more than 12 years - at least that’s what the manufacturer promises.
You can put up to 50 kg of stones in the Cuirassier - and they warm up quite well. The lower temperature reaches 450˚С, and the upper temperature – 510˚С. That’s why the steel is so thick, 6 mm, so that it can withstand such serious thermal loads without problems. There is also a special gap between the convector and the firebox - the oven is blown through it, and the steam room heats up dynamically. But someone complains about the burning of oxygen by such a stove - they say that with others the air is fresher. In fact, oxygen is burned in excess volume only when there is absolutely no ventilation in the steam room, or the stove itself has been heated to the limit for a long time - and this is already unnatural.
The Cuirassier stove itself is designed for the fact that firewood will be placed into it from the dressing room or rest room, and the Intro door will allow you to comfortably observe the live fire.
Oven feature
“Greyvari” stoves stand out from the rest in that even raw wood can be used for kindling. This feature of the Cuirassiers is ensured by the same supply of already heated and dry air, which dries the material.
One of the minor, but quite pleasant, features is worth noting that the steam from the Greyvari metal stoves is softer and more pleasant than that of others. Although this is not what many bathhouse attendants who bought such a product like, but the grate.
Its peculiarity lies in the fact that it is not cast from cast iron, as most other manufacturers do, but consists of steel beams. As you know, steel expands under the influence of sufficiently high temperatures, and therefore it sort of self-cleanses itself of ash. From a design point of view, everything is quite simple, but at the same time convenient and original.
Other benefits
Reviews of “Greyvari” stoves from those who purchased these products also speak of such an advantage as a significant viewing area. It is even greater than that of models that were previously considered premium. This was facilitated by the fact that the front wall of the ash pit, as well as the portal, are made of mirror stainless steel. To make installation and transportation convenient, the portal is removable.
In addition, the Greyvari sauna stove from the Cuirassier line also has unusual protection for the rear wall of the combustion chamber. This wall is a special aerodynamic screen, which is made of high-quality and heat-resistant steel. It is through this element that air will enter inside, which is used for secondary combustion.
"Greyvari" sauna stoves have another design feature that has become a significant advantage - special protective elements for the bottom of the firebox. They are quite often called ash pillows, and their main role is natural thermal insulation, which is created after fuel burnout.
Reviews
We ordered this door for the hammam with delivery to Kazan. In our city, these doors are more expensive even taking into account delivery. The door arrived in a wooden box, without damage. I found instructions and accessories in the package. I installed the door myself, nothing complicated
A good inexpensive stone, the fraction and shape of these stones are different, but this is the most natural thing, it is easier to lay, since the stones cannot be laid tightly, it is necessary for air to circulate. On the mesh heater it looks beautiful like natural hot water
Thank you, we received the oven. As promised, I am writing a review, the stove has not yet been tested, we are assembling the chimney, I will write upon delivery. The stove was delivered to Surgut in 10 days and that included weekends. The stove came in a rigid package (box). Delivery to Surgut is free, I paid
We ordered a glass door for a bathhouse with delivery to Barnaul, I was very worried about how it would be delivered to us and in what condition. The door arrived in a hard package, a wooden box with soft padding, safe and sound))) thank you!
I had wooden doors in the bathhouse, but now they are glass, no steam escapes anywhere, glass doors hold steam even better than wood. If in the future I have a question about replacing doors, then my choice will only be glass.
Glass door in the bathhouse? I won’t put a pit like this in my bathhouse; there should be a wooden dam in the bathhouse so that the steam doesn’t escape.
I dreamed of having my own bathhouse in the countryside - it finally came true. I built it myself and thought for a long time, consulted, read articles and reviews on the topic of which stove for a bath is the best - brick or metal. Since progress has already come a long way, I decided to take the Greyvari stove to
Greetings. I would like to thank the Greyvari company for making reliable stoves that are no worse than imported ones! I have a heating stove-fireplace Sicily. This is definitely a wood-burning stove worthy of 5 stars and good reviews. Everything in it is thought out! Distributes heat throughout
the door is super, at first I was against the glass door in the bathhouse, I thought there was heat loss, it was fragile. I didn’t notice any heat loss, sometimes it fogs up due to humidity and that’s all, but I was convinced of the strength of this door when they installed the doors and started finishing, the builders laid the length

Unfortunately no. Only for stoves and boilers specially designed for it.
Can this gas burner be built into a sauna stove? I.E. In an ordinary heater, for example, a cuirassier?
Lyuba from Salekhard. Thank you, we received the stove, my husband installed it himself, we had to buy an additional chimney from us in Salekhard. Thank you for the free delivery, we couldn’t find such a stove here, but my husband had a requirement for a closed heater for the Russian
It’s a good stove, taking into account the discount and sales at the stove, I’m doubly happy. High-quality Finnish stove. I advise those who like to warm up in the sauna.
Really cast iron stove. This is a stove for centuries. Its weight corresponds to the quality, so take two or three people for loading and unloading.
We have a recreation center in the Arkhangelsk region, we purchased this stove for our sauna commission. The employees were trained, gained experience, and now we are happy that we don’t bother with firewood. The start of the sauna from the client’s call to working condition has been reduced and that’s it
Hello ! Is delivery of this stove to Krasnoyarsk free? And if you order a chimney with this stove, is the delivery of the chimney also free? Thank you.
I chose the Vesuvius Hurricane 22 Forging stove for my bathhouse, but I couldn’t find such a stove for sale in Omsk, other options didn’t suit me. either too expensive or without a closed heater. Thanks to the stove guys, everything was sent on time and it arrived in the tree
This is the thickness of the firebox, we were surprised. super. How does this stove work, can anyone please respond? like steam, like humidity, how much to heat and so as not to overheat.
A photo would be a photo of the fire of this firebox, or a video to see how the type of wood burns. So it’s not entirely informative how this fireplace insert will look.

Finka
One of the eight groups of different Cuirassier models is the Finka line, which combines three more varieties. However, they also share certain similar characteristics, which is what brings them together into one collection.
This should include such a feature as the firebox directly from the steam room. This is one of the old ancient Finnish traditions, hence the name of the line. In addition, they have the additional ability to ventilate the steam room, for which they are equipped with a special retractable ash pan.
Everything else is quite simple. Firewood is used as fuel. The tank and heat exchanger are installed on a pipe, which also has a diameter of 115 mm, and all devices are made of structural steel with a thickness of 6 mm.
The only thing worth adding is a note from the manufacturers themselves, who recommend using this type of furnace in conjunction with a steam generator or economizer.
"Swede"
Here we can immediately say that this variety is represented by only one model - this is the “Cuirassier 15 Shvedka”. As in the case of “Finks”, this model has the possibility of additional ventilation of a steam room.
A distinctive feature of this stove was discovered by the Scandinavians a long time ago and is that the unit maintains hot, but at the same time fresh air in the room. The device sucks air from the steam room directly into the firebox, which helps reduce the pressure in the steam room. It turns out that fresh air enters the furnace, and that which has already been spoiled by breathing is also sucked in, but is then discharged outside. The last thing that can be said is that the furnace fire also comes from the steam room.
Corbis ovens
If we talk about the Cuirassier models of the Corbis line, then such a distinctive feature as the presence of an open octagonal heater, which is made in the form of a grid, immediately comes to the fore. Thanks to this design, there is the possibility of round masonry with a total weight of up to 220 kg. As for the kindling of such models, users in the reviews note that it takes quite a long time, but the heat after that also remains for a long period of time. A fairly mild climate will be created inside the steam room, and it is very convenient that there is no need to frequently add firewood.
In addition, it is worth saying that there are some advantages that the presence of a circular laying of stones provides. For example, infrared radiation from hot metal will be less harsh, and you can pour it on them from any convenient side. In this case, the volume of steam will be quite large, but at the same time it itself is characterized by softness and freshness.
As for the model range, Corbis includes 4 different oven variations.
