want a outdoor forced air wood furnace

[cantoo]

Looking good still Dave. I'm burning 32" wood splits in my Fawcett and I think we are burning less wood. The longer splits tend to leave more hot coals at the sides too so restarts are easier. Usually just have to stir up the coals and set the long splits on top and it restarts itself.

Those tires look too good to burn, get them away from the wood rack!!!

What is the make of you units and are they designed for your application??
Thanks!!!

The actual furnace is made in Canada, Enterprise Fawcett. They are intended to be either a add on or stand alone wood burning hot air furnace. I made it work for me with the little shed. If you check out the pic Cantoo just posted, that is what it looks like before I built around them. I have more pics if you would like any.

My insurance agent would have a stroke if he saw that hooked up to my house.

It's better to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission ..............

Nest year I am going to cut some longer wood (my splitter will only take up to 31") just to have on extremely cold nights. I can keep the house warm enough in 20 below but it would be nice to keep it warm for a longer time between fills. In that weather I was at about 6 hrs, 8 over night (I need my sleep) LOL

Unfortunately I don't have much $ and I'm doing this by myself. If I had an insurance agent I'm sure he would have a stroke.

Thanks.... I'm just trying to keep warm the best I can.

My brother has the US Stove model, and has been running it for 3 or 4 winters now. It works VERY good and I can't see where it eats wood...

When I'm there, his house is nice and warm and he doesn't have to keep it packed with wood or have to mess with it. I know for a fact he burns quite a bit less wood that I do to keep my house warm...

I've actually been thinking of switching to one like his...

I just replaced the door gasket on mine, it seems to burn a lot less wood and the fire/heat lasts longer. I was away a little over 10 hrs yesterday, temps didn't break 20 and started out at 2, when I got home it was 73 in the house and 14 outside. I can't complain I should have replaced the gasket years ago....lol
