This multi-fuel stove will burn
almost anything--including wood pellets--or shelled
corn right out of the bin. Or--you can mix and burn
multiple fuels at the same time--if you choose. (No
coal).
Looking at the front of the
stove--it stands approx 43"-tall X 20"-wide X
28"--front to back. 5" legs.
It will handle 22" logs. The
firebox door opening is 8" X 7". A 6" X 4" Hi-Temp
glass window can be an added option.
The crimped male end of a 6" stove
pipe will fit inside the top ring. The most critical
factor for a good burn is system draft. Volko Supply
at volko.com has a nice vent draft inducer that can
really be helpful if you do not have a sufficient
chimney with good natural draft. This unit installs
into the stove pipe---above the stove---before the
pipe goes through the wall, ceiling or roof.
Fire intensity and duration is
controlled by the two sliding draft doors at the
front of the stove--beneath the firebox door.
The firebox is made of 3/16" steel
plate--reinforced with 2" channel iron on the sides.
There are no brick liners or sand based fillers in
this stove. The round tubes are 1 1/2" black pipe.
The unit weighs approx 450 lbs. It
has an intended design life of 30 years. This
unit is an aggressive heat exchanger--pulling from
the hot fire and keeping the heat where you want
it--and not wasted up the stack.
It can go approx 10 hours--or
more--on a full load of good, dry, seasoned
hardwood--such as red oak. Shelled corn is about the
same. The fire box will hold approx 90 lbs of
shelled corn. The rectangular opening on the top of
the stove is used to dump shelled corn and/or wood
pellets directly into the firebox--making a burn
pile--just like a wood pile.
You need a high volume, variable
speed fan to move the hot air through the exchange
tubes and around the stove. There
are no moving parts to the stove itself. There
is significant heat that radiates off the external
surface of the stove & through the tubes. Thus--if
you lose power--you will still have decent heat.
The stove must be spaced at least
24" from an unprotected-combustible wall. It must
sit on a non-combustible surface. Heat output is
20,000--115,000 BTU's. Depending on desired
temperature, geographic location, ceiling height,
structural insulation and other factors--this unit
can heat approx 2,200 sq ft.
You are welcome to pick up the
stove here at our StoveWorksUSA shop--which is
located approx 3 miles Southeast of Goodhue,
Minnesota--or about 35 minutes North of Rochester or
20 minutes South of Red Wing.
Allow approx 3 weeks for delivery.
