Wood-burning sauna stove “Variata Barrel Inox” is designed for the Russian banya or Finnish dry air sauna in steam rooms of 8-18 cubic meters in space. A stove is free from such fundamental shortages of grid-stoves as uncontrollable air convection and low temperature of stones due to their air cooling. A firebox is performed of high-alloy heat-resistant steel, and it is a wood-burning sauna stove “Compact Inox 2013” firebox modification. A special construction of the firebox provides quick heating of a steam room and a good quality of stones' heating using small amount of firewood. Drain holes situated in a bottom part of top cover of the stove prevent from corrosion formation in case of water overflow. Internal design of the stove: Three year «Iron warranty» for wood-burning sauna stove “Variata Barrel Inox”, as well as for all “TMF” stoves made of high-alloy heat-resistant steel, covers the integrity of metal and welding joints of the firebox. The “Barrel” stove designed in the shape of a barrel is absolutely unique nowadays and has no analogies. Cooperage traditions and technologies were taken into account while an industrial sample appearance has been designed. “Variata Barrel” sauna grid-stove allows its owner to transform it and to customize it for oneself, changing steam modes preferences from the Russian steam bath to the Finnish dry air sauna.

Three year «Iron warranty» for wood-burning sauna stove “Variata Barrel Inox”, as well as for all “TMF” stoves made of high-alloy heat-resistant steel, covers the integrity of metal and welding joints of the firebox. The “Variata Barrel” stove designed in the shape of a barrel is absolutely unique nowadays and has no analogies.

“Variata Barrel” sauna grid-stove allows its owner to transform it and to customize it for oneself, changing steam modes preferences from the Russian steam bath to the Finnish dry air sauna.
“Variata Barrell” sauna grid-stove assumes several modes of sauna operation. Owing to a detachable basket for stones it is possible to vary convection, emitting and heat accumulation properties of a stove. The basket is freely installed on the firebox top. There are three possible ways to fill the stove with stones.
The first way (a). Stones are put in the detachable basket only, filling just a visible space from above between the firebox and the barrel cover. This way the stove holds about 50 kg of stones.
This way the stove represents a high level convection stove with an open top cover that heats a steam room quickly with the help of air convection and heat emission from stove walls. At that it is quite hard to get steam modes. Cover walls are heated likewise in case of usual convection stoves.
The second way (b). Firebox top cover and the whole space between firebox and cover are filled with stones. A mass of stones loaded in a stove this way may reach up to 150 kg.
The denser and less in size stones are loaded between the firebox and cover, the less is air convection. This way of loading leads to a heat accumulating stove practically without convection, a steam room is prepared substantially longer, while heat emission towards a steam room is minimized. Precisely due to a large volume of heated stones and lack of convection the stove allows getting comfortable Russian banya modes. Low level of heat emission from a stove makes a bath more comfortable, because it is possible to reside near a stove without feeling an unpleasant burning related to heat emission from it.
The third way (c). This is a combination of the first and, partially, the second ways. The stones are loaded the same way as in the first way, but in addition to this it is possible fill a space in the lower part between the firebox and covering partially to an extent large enough to customize and optimize the stove’s parameters according to unique peculiarities of the given steam room and in accordance with its owner bath preferences.
Such way of the stove filling with heat accumulating load also appears to be unique, and it has no analogies nowadays. There are high level convection stoves and heat accumulating stoves. There are expensive stoves with controlled convection. But there is no stove, which would enable its owner to transform and customize it according to owner’s preferences concerning steaming modes.
Decorative cover is made of constructional steel. Staves (bulging shaped planks) of the barrel are painted with two color organic silicate composition, imitating a rosewood texture. Hoops are painted in a graphite-metallic color. Imitation of wooden texture of staves is close to a natural one.
Variata Barrell design of a stove fits any sauna interior. A barrel or a tub standing in a sauna – it is very accustomed, simple and traditional from the time out of memory.
Properly placed firewood burning channel of a stove is practically unnoticeable and will not be on the way for a stove to look like a wooden barrel standing in a corner of a steam room.
A “Variata Barrelll Vitra” modification with a large light transparent screen with 42 cm diagonal is available as a serial production.
