A Picture Tour of Timberwolf Furnace Co

[pinemartin]

With everybody talking about shaver classic central boiler and other OWBs, I decided to ask Timberwolf Furnace Co if I could take a tour through their shop. I was invited by a great bunch of guys to come and hang out for a couple days. The resulting pictures and narration of these pictures is what I have to share with all of you. Hope you enjoy the pictures and the Story of How A Timberwolf OWB is Built From Start to Finish.

First 2 pictures are the signs by the road. The next 2 are 2 different views of the 80x120 building.

What I seen when I entered the office

Their office is set up with models of their stove, how to hook it up to your furnace, and hot water side arm. They also had a optional garage heater displayed.

In this section of pictures you see the building interior, steel racks, and a huge water cut table.

Everything that goes into a Timberwolf stove is made in-house. All sheet metal parts are cut from 3/16 plate. Latches and handles are bent from scratch. They even cut and drill their door hinges.

 

[pinemartin]

Their tanks are all hand rolled, several at a time.

During assembly the parts fit perfectly together. The guys that work there know how to weld very good.

 

[pinemartin]

After the tanks were built and slid together they were welded just as good as the other pictures you've seen.

After plumbing is installed each unit is pressure tested for leaks and the framework begins.

Really nice and interesting photos.

A couple of pictures of the inside of the firebox and air diverter.

When framework is complete the door frame and chimney are covered with 1000 degree rated insulation batting.

 

[pinemartin]

It's time for spray foaming. It's 3 inches thick at r7 per inch which ends up being 94% efficient.

 

[pinemartin]

Everything seems to have optimum insulation including the door.

Just like the rest of the welds that go into making these the door and door hinges were welded very nice too. Almost as nice as mine.

Interesting post.

Thanks!!

After the doors are installed they are painted with 1200 degree high temp paint along with the chimney.

By the way that building is heated with a monster stove out back.

The logs in the fire were 20 inch in diameter and 3 feet long. That thing would hold almost a full face cord.

That was my Friday. I am going back Monday for the rest of the story and more pictures.

Also this is not a how to build a stove. This is just me bragging about the high quality stove that I own and you could too. If you want one they deliver free up to 300 miles.

[pinemartin]

from what I was told Timberwolf Furnace co has been in business for a long time and have dealers in several states like Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio, Kentucky, and Illinois. The unit I have is a model 3500 and for the last 3 years it has kept my gas bill between 12-18 dollars a month year round. From the pictures I have posted so far you can see the quality that goes into them so far I have been more than happy with my purchase. for all of you who have viewed this thread please check back to see Mondays pictures... thanks
