We have been using a wood furnace for 2 years. Never give it much thought until a truck accident last week caused us to loose electricity for over 4 hours with no warning. My wife was home and managed to close the air down to the wood furnace and remove the top of the furnace per manufacturer instructions. She said the top and sides of the furnace, and the 8" ducts from the top of the furnace was dangerously hot before she got things apart. The air that was rising thru the ducts was extremely hot as well, which i would think would be a definate fire hazard if someone is not home here and power is lost. We have been gone for hours to go shopping, church, work and other things and never give it much thought until this event.
Does anyone have a battery back up system on their wood furnace blower for such a circumstance? I know generators set ups designed to kick on automatically for power lose. i also know battery back up systems for sump pumps also.
Thanks.
