New Grate For Central Boiler Wood Furnaces
“Our new state-of-the-art grates for Central Boiler outdoor wood burning furnaces are designed to burn wood more completely and reduce the ashes to powder, which results in far less material to clean out. It elevates the wood off the furnace’s floor to make it burn more efficiently, which greatly reduces the amount of unburned charcoal,” says Edward Jewell, Outside Heating, Inc., Rocky Mount, Va.
  The self-supporting grate requires no modification to the furnace and takes only about 30 min. to install. It consists of several components that lock together, including a pair of side rails that fit against the stove walls, a center I-beam, and a steel plate that lays on top of the I-beam and rails and locks them together. The grate slides in between the I-beam and rails. The system comes with its own scoop shovel.
  “The slots in the grate are just less than 1 in. wide, narrow enough for powder to fall through but not charcoal,” says Jewell. “The grate takes up no more space than a load of compacted ashes would. But we’re keeping that space dry and free of ashes, so the fire can do a better job of heating the water. All you do is remove a few scoops of powder when needed. There’s so little powder that instead of needing a wheelbarrow to get rid of it, you’ll need only a bucket.
  Jewell has sold and installed outside wood burning furnaces for more than 28 years, and in that time has handled most major brands. “When you install furnaces for that long, you find all kinds of ways to make them more user friendly,” he says. “We’ve tested our new grates for more than 5 years with local Central Boiler customers to get their feedback and have had an overwhelmingly positive response.”
  The grates are designed for Central Boiler’s 5036, 6048, 7260 furnaces, as well as the Pallet Burner. Prices range from $1,250 to $1,860, depending on the furnace model.
