Outside Wood-Burning Furnace Now On Market ENERGY Wood Burners (65) 26-2-34 Thanks for the write-up on my new outside wood-burning furnace (Vol. 25, No. 6). Since it was published I've had more than 1,000 calls and letters from all across the U.S. and Canada. Many people have asked me when they'll be able to buy the furnace. The answer is, right now. I found a manufacturer and now have a hot air model on the market. It sells for $5,000. I also plan to offer a hot water model for sale next summer.
The furnace is designed to burn less wood than conventional furnaces and is virtually smoke-free. It also leaves hardly any ashes. The key component is a flow box for the smoke that extends up through the unit to the flue on top. It burns with a clean blue flame. Temperatures in part of the tortuous flow box can reach up to 1,500 degrees, which breaks down the smoke molecules to eliminate smoke. Gas coming out of the wood gets the proper amount of oxygen, which is why the wood burns clean. (Elmer Laitinen, 8731 East Monroe Road, Wheeler, Mich. 48662 ph 989 842-1257)
