If the cold air blows around the stove reversely, will the parilka (steam room) be warmed in this case?
A. We tried to cool the walls of the stone stove as much as possible, because in the Russian banya, it is essential not to overheat the indoor space. It’s ideal when the temperature in the steam room is 50°C and the stone fill in the stove reaches 500°C, which is not at all easy to achieve. If someone is used to harm his body system when the temperature is 120°C, it’s possible to open the lower ashpit during the stoking, and the boost air charging will partially blow about 400°C into the steam room thus creating heat there in just ten minutes.
