Ð¢ÑÐ»Ð° though traditionally heated with coal or charcoal, many newer samovars use electricity to heat water in a manner similar to an electric water boiler. antique samovars are often displayed for their beautiful workmanship. ==description== samovars are typically crafted out of plain iron, copper, polished brass, bronze, silver, gold, tin, or nickel. a typical samovar consists of a body, base and chimney, cover and steam vent, handles, faucet and key, crown and ring, chimney extension and cap, drip-bowl, and teapot. the body shape can be an urn, krater, barrel, cylinder, or sphere. sizes and designs vary, from large, "40-pail" ones holding  to those of a modest  size.   a traditional samovar consists of a large metal container with a faucet near the bottom and a metal pipe running vertically through the middle. the pipe is filled with solid fuel which is ignited to heat the water in the surrounding container. a small (6 to 8&nbsp;inches) smoke-stack is put on the top to ensure draft. after the water boils and the fire is extinguished, the smoke-stack can be removed and a teapot placed on top to be heated by the rising hot air. the teapot is used to brew a strong concentrate of tea known as Ð·Ð°Ð²Ð°ÑÐºÐ° (zavarka). the tea is served by diluting this concentrate with ÐºÐ¸Ð¿ÑÑÐ¾Ðº (kipyatok) (boiled water) from the main container, usually at a water:tea ratio of 10:1, although tastes vary.  the samovar was an important attribute of a russian household and particularly well-suited to tea-drinking in a communal setting over a protracted time period. the russian expression "to have a sit by the samovar"
