When needing a wood furnace that is inside a wood/gas or wood oil furnace may be just the ticket for you.
Since both fuels burn in the same furnace,you'll be able to hook it up to a single high temp flue.
Having both fuels allows you to burn with wood or coal to avoid the high costs of liquid fuel ,yet to have liquid fuel as a back up satisfing your homeowners insurance company's demand that you have a back up source of heat when operating wood and or coal.
Here is a cut away of the furnace which will enable you to see inside of it.
You'll notice the big blower under the air filter. It has a varible speed ability in that it comes standard with a split sheeve pully.The base set up is a 1/3 h.s.p. motor with a 6 inch pulley giving you between 800 and 1600 cfm's.There are option to upgrade to 1/2 hsp & 3/4 hsp motors with smaller blower pulley that will make up to 2400 cfm's
Inside the fireboxes ....Twenty percent of the air required for proper coal/wood combustion is drawn in above the firebox, superheated by the already hot firebox, and then distributed around the top of the flame to create an afterburner effect. Forty percent of the energy in wood/coal leaves the initial flame in the form of an unburned gas (smoke). This patented system burns these gases, thereby substantially increasing the efficiency of the wood or coal.
It is imperative that 80 percent of the air for combustion enters the firebox from below a wood/coal grate to insure an efficient and clean burning fire. Our standard heavy cast iron grate (shown above) is adequate for a wood fire.
A much heavier cast iron shaker grate is also available as an option for dense coal use.
The secondary heat exchanger is made up of four type 304 Stainless Steel rectangular tubes, which the heat produced by the furnace must pass through before entering the chimney. This feature increases the heating surface to 54 square feet. Standard gas or oil furnaces have only 25-30 square feet.
It also comes with a clean out door for easy maintainence.
This style of furnace also comes with an insulated cabinet.
Of coarse all black surfaces are hot and should not be touched.
The liquid fuel will lite the solid fuel and when the wood or coal goes out the liquid fuel comes on via a digital Honywell thermostat.
We also make a wood/coal and electric furnace.
These Eagle furnaces come in 2 sizes.112,000 & 151,000 btu output.
They are UL listed for the US and Canadian markets.
Typically a full cord of seasoned hardwood is able to displace 200 gallons of #2 fuel oil or 250 gallons of propane or it's equivilant in nat. gas.
Here is how they work...

. I only burn wood in mine, don't need to use anything else.
