Thermal safety for metal can be provided using basalt cardboard. The material is durable, inexpensive and poorly conducts heat. The screens of the furnaces are covered with cardboard or the fences create. Also, a metal stove is covered with brick, which promotes good heat transfer.
With improper construction of a stone furnace, a problem with carbon monoxide arises. Therefore, the furnace door should not go into the bathhouse.

Any furnace that is heated by firewood should have a container for stones. The material serves as a thermal battery. First, stones absorb all heat, and then heat the floor, ceiling and walls of the furnace. For good heat transfer, stones with a smooth surface are selected and laid in the correct order depending on the type of heater.
