General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Brand new and searching what to do!
« on: February 23, 2018, 11:48:50 AM »
Hi, This is my first post here, bear with me.
I am looking to get a Outdoor wood burning furnace, I know absolutely nothing about these other than they have to be cheaper to run than my propane "gas pack"!!
So I live out in the country in a house built in 1954 in South Carolina, I've done a lot of work on the place, put a foot of insulation in the attic, and had the entire exterior of the house bricked partially to eliminate the drafts and such, but mostly for looks I guess. I have what they call a gas pack for a furnace on the outside of the house which is what I'm thinking is a perfect set up for an outside wood burner. I have no shortage of wood to burn, in fact just ordered a small sawmill so I'll have lots of cutoff too boot! And I can set this thing within 10 feet of that gaspack (closer even if I have to.
I just am iunsure how to go about this or where to start even. Do I get a boiler type, or a hot air ducted unit. Or does it matter? I talked to my local HVAC guy and he wasnt much help so I figured this would be a good place to learn.
Here is that gas pack furnace heat and air
