Wood Furnace
how do you operate a wood burning furnace?
i have a wood burning furnace(which was made 30 years ago by a company no longer in business)that sits beside my oil furnace in the basement. i would like to know what steps need to be taken in order to use it.
When was the last time it was used ? If its been a while you will have to have someone look into the controls and the safety components to make sure they still function properly. It will probably have to be blown down to remove the sediment in the boiler. If after passing the service and safety inspection you can fire it up. Start with a small fire using small kindling wood and add bigger pieces as it catches. At night time you can bank the fire and shut down the air intake to as low as possible. Banking is adding large pieces of firewood to one side and let it just burn and turn to hot coals. In the morning you can add a few pieces of wood and open up the air intake and enjoy the heat. The oil furnace will kick in if the wood gets too cold. If you don’t mind spending time at home and can feed the wood then it will heat your house. Oil is automatic and will work with the thermostat needing no one to tend to it. As for the wood you burn, I would use hard wood (oak, maple or even the fruit tree woods like cherry, apple ets. I found the best and most fragrant wood was the hickory. Not only did it burn hot but had a beautifil odor. If was made to burn coal then I would bank the fire at night with the coal . Check with you service tech and take his expert advise. To save money try using old wooden pallets. Most are made from hard woods and are usually free for the taking. It may take a little work to cut them up and stack it. The saying wood warms you twice, cuttting and stacking the burning. How true. Good luck with your re-newable source of heat, god knows the price of oil and gas to heat a house. To add a little more to your house make sure you open the shades on the south and east side of you house to let a few rays of mother nature in during the snowy cold months during the day time, and close them at night and possibly add a heavt drape to the windowsa at night.
