Everyone Who Heats With An Indoor Wood Stove Should Know About This Alternative
Heating with wood is a popular, economical choice when faced with high and rising costs of fossil fuels. Those that burn wood in indoor stoves or fireplaces know those appliances aren’t very good at heating more than one room and they heat unevenly. Areas further away are cooler while areas closer can become too warm. There are other disadvantages with using an indoor wood stove or fireplace such as risks associated with chimney fires, carbon monoxide and the ongoing mess in the home.
Outdoor furnaces (also called outdoor boilers or hydronic heaters) improve living conditions in the home. The fire risk (from chimney fires or embers spilling out of an indoor stove) is removed from the home because the outdoor furnace is located outside, and so is the wood, eliminating the mess, bugs and mold that can occur when hauling wood inside or even storing it there.
Outdoor furnaces work with existing heating systems like a forced-air furnace or in-floor hydronic heat to provide evenly distributed heat throughout the entire home. People realize a more comfortable heat than with oil, gas or electric heat systems.
An outdoor furnace has a firebox that is surrounded by water. As the wood burns, it heats the water. Water is an efficient way of moving heat. The water is circulated to and from the buildings through insulated underground pipes known as ThermoPEX®. In the case of a forced-air furnace, the fan blows through a heat exchanger installed in the plenum to provide heat for the home through existing ductwork. Other methods can use water-to-water heat exchangers or even direct thermal transfer.
The Classic Edge HDX outdoor wood furnace is the premier offering from Central Boiler, an American-owned company that has long been recognized as the industry leader in the advancement of outdoor wood furnaces.
Central Boiler’s Classic Edge HDX models (4 models ranging from 150,000 to 400,000 Btu ratings) are EPA Step 2 certified and among the top for efficiency of all stick cordwood heating appliances certified for sale for residential heating in the USA.
In fact, at 92% overall efficiency (LHV), the Classic Edge 960 HDX provides the highest efficiency of EPA-certified stick-wood-burning appliances compared to outdoor appliances with a maximum output greater than 300,000 Btu/hr. It also delivers the highest Btu rating of cordwood appliances, with a rating of 400,000 Btu/hr.
With such high efficiencies, these furnaces use up to 60% less wood than traditional methods of wood heating while being one of the cleanest ways available to heat with wood.
Classic Edge HDX models feature a stainless steel firebox that ensures zero corrosion inside the firebox. They’re built to last a lifetime.
The FireStar combustion controller, available only from Central Boiler, automatically controls the combustion process with any heat load, large or small. It also allows you to view the furnace operating 24/7 using your smartphone or computer.
The FireStar is one of the reasons Classic Edge HDX owners consider this the easiest of all outdoor wood furnaces to operate.
The Classic Edge HDX is packed with features—including the Easy View heat exchangers, Reserve Mode, Clean Reload and automatic combustion control—that allow you to burn any kind of firewood efficiently. The FireStar lets you “load it and forget it.”
Everyone who heats with an indoor wood stove should know about this alternative that works “right out of the box” without complicated manual adjustments.
