If you live in a suburban or rural area near a source of cheap wood, you could heat your home for the entire season for the cost of one monthÂ’s electric heat bill. An outdoor furnace requires less tending, eliminates respiratory problems caused by burning wood indoors, and keeps the wood burning mess outside.

There are a surprising number of outdoor furnace manufacturers with a wide range of styles and designs to accommodate different heating capacities and fuel sources. Some of these furnaces have the capacity (500k Btu) for commercial applications.

Burns Best makes a corn or wood pellet version. Taylor Waterstoves has a multi-fuel model that burns coal or wood. Hardy Manufacturing makes an all stainless steel furnace with a built in hot water exchanger.

One of the selling points of an outdoor furnace is the convenience of locating it near the wood fuel source. Since the water heated by the furnace is pumped to your home through insulated, underground piping, the furnace can be set up as close as 2 feet, or as much as 500 feet from your house.

All outdoor furnaces are designed to work with any existing heating system and can be thermostatically controlled. If you have a forced air system, you can use the existing duct work but you will need to install a water-to-air heat exchanger in your furnace. Your furnace is still available as a back up.

If you already have radiant floor heating, you would connect the underground feed from the outdoor furnace to the existing circulating pump.

For radiant baseboard heat, you can connect the piping directly to an existing boiler or install a water-to-water heat exchanger. By adding the water-to-water exchanger, you receive the added benefit of free hot water while the existing furnace functions as back up.

An outdoor boiler can even be used to heat your swimming pool, driveway, work shop, greenhouse, or multiple buildings.

The firebox designs vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, but all are constructed from stainless or carbon steel. Although each manufacturer claims to be using a grade of stainless steel superior to the competition, they all agree that heat transfer efficiency is almost 3 times better with 16 gauge stainless steel than with 3/8" carbon steel. An all stainless steel firebox also resists rusting and burnout that occur in standard carbon steel.

Some fire boxes are large enough to accommodate a 30” diameter by 72” log. The problem I would have is getting a log that size into the firebox. Normally, outdoor furnaces are loaded twice a day. Burn times per load vary from 12 to 96 hours depending on what you’re heating, the outside temperature and how well your house is insulated.

One trait all outdoor furnaces have in common is versatility. What ever your heating needs are or the type of fuel you burn, itÂ’s possible to design a system for any heating scheme you can imagine.

Has anyone in YA noticed the Republican revolt in the House of Representatives?

Members of Congress took to the House floor to stand up for Americans who need relief from rising energy costs.

Sadly, what we’ve also seen this week is democratic inaction. When Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat Congress skipped town last week, adjourning before Republican Members had a chance to speak about their energy plan on the House floor, they walked out on Congress and essentially walked out on the needs of the American people.

The prostitute press has given this revolt little if any coverage...are the Republicans doing the right thing, and why isn't the press reporting on it??

I am glad the Republicans are making our voices heard.

Too bad they are not showing this in the main stream liberal media.
I have seen this because I look through all the news, but many people only see what's on the headlines and in the mass media and they are covering up what is happening.

When President Bush gave his approval for them to vote on offshore drilling it brought the price down. We need to drill here in the states and in the parts of Alaska and offshore where we have oil to increase our supply of domestic oil instead of using foreign sources.

I also think we need to develope hydrogen, electric, nuclear, solar and wind as well. They don't need to be exclusive of each other.

As someone who signed the email petition from Newt Gingrich of American Solutions on Drill Here Drill Now Pay Less, I think we need to pursue a multi proned attack of drilling, make more efficient vehicles, building new technologies and coming up with better fuels for the future. We need to do all of those things and focus on American made energy to lower our fuel prices and help our economy and environment at the same time.
Pelosi is using power and control to have her say in government instead of listening to the people.
She is saying "Let them eat cake!" or "Let them ride bicycles!" to the American people instead of caring about the high costs we are paying. She is our governments Marie Antoniette and the sooner she is voted out the better.
