Anybody have any ideas of building a shelter over a OWB Furnace?
Not for the firewood, but just for the OWB.
Cover all sides with one door? Cover three sides? etc?
I know they are made for the outdoors, but I am one that likes to take care of my equipment.
Thanks for your imput.

I have told people to put there owb in a shed or inclose it, when or if neighbors complain, or the town gives them a hard time. then it is no longer an owb and they cant say anything
-
I'm not sure which stove you have.
However, I think the best thing would be to build a shed over the whole thing. You arent' going to accomplish anything as far as i'm concerned to box the sides of it. If your wanting to further protect it from the weather, a roof over the whole area will be your best bet.
You can keep your wood in the dry and also stay out of the winter mess around the area while loading the stove.

Here is mine 20 X 24. I have two 8ft pallet racks in there now to stack wood in and still have room to store the log splitter and a trailer. I would not recommend enclosing it completely, it gets pretty smoky when the door is open. But in the future if the laws change it would be easy to put sides on it and it is no longer a owb. :thumbup:

Nice set up!..Something that I need to do..Dealing with tarps is old lol..I'll Have to get pics of my buddy's set up and post them..
-
great set up! did you build it your self or havesomeone do it.and how much did it cost?
-
My home built unit is in an insulated building approximately 10 x 10. There is an entrance door plus a second door which leads directly into the attached wood shed.
-
I built it myself. I've got almost 2k into it with cement, lights ect. I really like it, when it is raining or snowing it is nice to be able to get some protection from the elements and keep the wood dry.
-
kjw, Is that diamond plate on the base of your stove??? That's awesome and hilarious at the same time.... :thumbup:
-
Yes, it's aluminum diamond plate I cut and broke it up to seal of the underside of the stove, I put some insulation under there and sealed it up, keeps all the critters out.
-
Looks great!
-
thats the best shelter i ever seen!!!!!
-
Thanks guys. The only thing that I might do different if I had it to do over is I might not put the entire stove under the shed. Really the front (load end) is all that really needs to be covered and that would free up more space to store wood.
-
true, but if your pumps are on the side of your unit like mine you might have to change out a pump in bad weather.Its better to do under some cover!
-
i just like being "out of the elements' on stormy nights when it is time to fire it. I never considered the idea that if they ever ban OWB i can say it is an "indoor unit) LOL
right on :thumbup:

Here is a couple of pics of the install my buddy did with his NC GT500.He mounted the front of the stove just sticking through the side wall of an 12x16' portable gable end barn.He couldn't build it for the price of the delivered building.Very slick set up.He didn't have the boiler flashed around the cut out opening when I took these pics.He stores a weeks worth of wood in the building.There is also a Stainless Steel exhaust hood that sucks any smoke out when opening the door.He has double doors on the front that when open his timberwolf splitter shoves the wood right into the building as he splits it.He has a nice bench to sharpen saw chains and service his saws.His boiler house is halfway down a hill side.He lives up top in the woods and his brother lives down below by the road.The boiler heats circulates to 2 heat exchangers in the building.One goes to his house at the top ,and then to his brothers down below.Those two loops are pressurized so the pumps dont see the head pressure.Real nice setup and I hope to have mine real clean like that in the future. :thumbup:

The paper clip is just an icon to let you know there are attachments to the post, you actually click on the pictures themselves in the post to make them bigger. Hope that helps.

Do you stay logged in or do you just log in when you make a post? If you are logged out the pictures won't show.

i have never logged out...perhaps i should, maby a reset of things would help
-
If that don't work Willie I use firefox for my browser. You and Ridge must have something not enabled or maybe ie9 is preventing the pics from showing up.
-
Let me know if it works. I never log out either. Just close the page until my next visit.

My six hundred dollar wood shed! Tried to add pics but was told file was to big!~ I have no clue how to change that. Tried to resize to pics from 1040 to 800 but that didn't help. So, you'll have to use your imagination. It's 15x24 Make it what you want. LOL

If your using Windows XP search for power toys and install image resizer then you just have to right click a picture to make it smaller.

Not XP 7

I'll try again. See if these are small enough
