In Russia, stoves are still being built - economy cookers. One of such ovens, called the "Swedish", is also designed to heat the room and cook food at the same time. This furnace has two fireplaces - one above the other, the lower, larger firebox is used in winter, when the stove is also used to heat a room, the upper firebox is only used for cooking food. The stove may remain open or have a closure. Cleaning the furnace from soot is done through the hole after removing the brick.
Greater interest in apartment stoves begins in Russia from the mid-nineteenth century. At that time, the literature on residential stoves was also developing there.
