Container House Stove Design Drawing
Currently, there are no ready-made design drawings specifically for stoves in container houses, but custom development can be carried out by combining the following design ideas:

1. Embedded Heating Stove Design This plan draws on the structural characteristics of the beacon gasification stove in rural self-built houses. The core design points include:
- Space Adaptation: The stove box needs to be customized according to the internal dimensions of the container. It is embedded seamlessly through brick-built grooves, with all four sides fitting closely against the walls to reduce heat loss. Adjustable feet are provided at the bottom to accommodate slight unevenness of the container floor caused by welding or transportation.
- Safety Protection: A double-layer cold-rolled steel plate structure is adopted, with ceramic fiber and other heat-insulating materials filled in between to ensure that the surface temperature of the outer shell is below 60℃, avoiding the risk of burns. The cast-iron flat top needs to have a load-bearing capacity of ≥50kg to meet the needs of boiling water and cooking simultaneously.
- Smoke Exhaust Optimization: The amount of soot during wood combustion should be controlled below 0.5g/kg, which can be achieved through secondary combustion technology. It is recommended that the diameter of the smoke exhaust pipe be ≥150mm. The pipe should be pre-buried along the top or side walls of the container, and the outlet should be more than 50cm above the roof ridge to prevent backflow.
2. Combination of Fireplace and Container Space Refer to the material contrast and space utilization strategies in modern luxury house designs:
- Concealed Design: Taking the Beverly Hills case as an example, the fireplace is embedded in the corner of the container, and the outer layer is covered with charcoal-colored textured stone or high-temperature-resistant metal plates, creating a visual contrast with the main structure of the interior artificial board + insulation layer. A 20cm maintenance space needs to be reserved for pipe maintenance.
- Floor-standing Solution: Drawing on the design of a luxury house in New Jersey, an independent cast-iron fireplace is used, with a concrete base at the bottom for moisture protection. It is surrounded by fire-resistant glass to form a safe area. For such a design, it is necessary to ensure that the side wall of the container has a load-bearing capacity of ≥300kg/m².
3. Functional Expansion Suggestions For the dual needs of cooking and heating:
- Modular Integration: Combine the stove with the operating countertop. Refer to the folding design of the No. 1 container kitchen. When the countertop is unfolded, it provides cooking space, and when folded, it releases the passage. A 304 stainless steel countertop with a high-temperature resistance of ≥800℃ is required.
- Space Release: Use a foldable wall-mounted stove rack, which can be stored against the wall when not in use. The smoke exhaust pipe can be designed as a detachable type, installed in winter and removed in summer to increase the indoor height.
- Energy Complementation: Reserve an interface for solar heat collection plates next to the stove to achieve water heating circulation through a heat exchanger and improve energy utilization.
Key Implementation Points: All designs need to pass ANSYS thermal simulation to verify the temperature resistance of the container structure, ensuring that the local temperature does not exceed the creep temperature of the container steel (about 350℃) during long-term use. The smoke exhaust system should comply with the requirements regarding the distance from combustibles in GB 50016 "Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings".
