Zukhra

Stove for a large cooking pot Zukhra is the first specialized wood-burning stove of TMF made for cooking in a large cooking pot and it is also fitted with a large cooking surface with cast-iron disks. The stove is designed for outdoor use.

Translated from Arabic the word “Zukhra” literally means “glare”, “beauty” which reflects the distinctiveness and fineness of this Eastern-style stove.

The body of the stove and its cooking surface are made of structural steel. Thickness of furnace walls is 3 mm, and cooking surface is 4 mm. The stove has a round hole with a diameter of 38 cm which is ideal for a large cooking pot with a volume of 12 litres.

Large cooking pot hole is covered with a steel cooking surface with separable cast-iron disks 12 and 18 cm in diameter.

The main purpose of Zukhra is cooking in a large cooking pot. Cooking surface allows you to boil water in a big tea-kettle and cook shurpa, lamian, fish soup and other summer country cuisines in a cooking pot or a frying pan. Separable cast-iron disks allow you to fit your kitchenware to an appropriate size. Flue is not provided for in the stove design because a large cooking pot will overheat in the spot where flame and hot smoke enters the flue connector and pilaf may stick to it.

For uniform heating of a large cooking pot from every side, hot smoke comes out through 4 ornamented holes placed at the corners of the cooking surface. Air enters the stove from the bottom of the furnace through the openings covered with a round metal plate.

Side walls of the stove have a convex shape for protection against thermal deformation. For the same purpose, steel cooking surface has openings made for temperature stress release. It is required in order to prevent deformation of a cooking surface from fire.
Stove door opens downward and can be fixed in horizontal position in order to prevent coal from falling out of the furnace. It may be closed, if necessary, the door is fitted with an easy-to-use lock. Most of cuisines cooked in a large cooking pot, pilaf, in particular, are usually cooked with the door open all the time. It is better to use finely chopped wood as a fuel.

Elegant design of the stove will decorate yard of a country house and summer cottage. When it is not used for cooking, it may be used as an elegant flower pot stand or a small garden fireplace.
