This multi-fuel unit 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 34"-wide X
50"-front to back. 5" legs
The firebox is approx 30" X 21" X
47"--front to back. It will handle 46" logs. The
firebox door opening is 12" X 10". A 6" X 4" Hi-Temp
glass window can be an added option. The ash box is
30" X 6" X 47".
The flue opening at the top of the
stove is 8". The crimped male end of an 8" stove
pipe will fit inside the 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 power vent
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 heavy 2" channel iron on the
sides. The round tubes are 1 1/2" schedule 40,
tested black pipe.
The unit weighs approx 1,100 lbs.
It has an intended design life of approx 30 years.
This unit is an aggressive heat exchanger--Pulling
from the hot fire. It keeps the heat where you want
it--and not wasted up the stack.
This stove can go for 40 hours--or
more on a full load of good, dry, seasoned
hardwood--such as red oak. Shelled corn is about the
same. Burning cob corn in this stove works good. The
fire box will hold approx 400 lbs of shelled corn.
The 2 rectangular openings on the top of the stove
are 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 or blower to move the hot air through the
exchange tubes and around the stove. Absolutely
NEVER use a plastic fan! There are no moving parts
to the stove itself. Any competent furnace man can
fabricate the ductwork that would tie into your
existing hot air system--if you would choose to do
that. There is significant heat that radiates off
the external surface of the stove. Thus--if you lose
power--you will still have decent heat. You will not
be left totally in the deep freeze.
The stove must be spaced at least
24" from an unprotected-combustible wall. It must
sit on a non-combustible surface. Heat output is
50,000--600,000 BTU's. Depending on desired
temperature, geographic location, ceiling height,
structural insulation and other factors--this unit
can heat approx 20,000 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.
