General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: Heatmor SSR
« on: February 27, 2010, 12:22:07 PM »
Vinrum, Were you asking about Heatmors new EPA stove which is called the SSR?  Heatmor has 3 different styles of stoves. All are stainless steel fireboxes. They have the regular series which are models 100css,200css,400css,600css,800cs. Next is the first series of EPA from them which is the 200ssr and 400ssr. The brand new series is the model 200ssr2. Go to Heatmors website and click on the EPA stove link and it shows the dimensions of the fireboxs.  

Clear as mud?

The stove I bought is a 200css.

Heatmor has a second EPA stove that just came out in the last few months. It is called the Response 2 or SSR2. Green Valley Heating has one hooked up and running. The firebox is 24" long versus 36" on the 200css. It also goes to a lower water temp(maybe 140) before starting the blower fan. Holds more water, 377 gallons. The smoke has to go though 2 passes of 2x2 square tubing heat exchanger  before exiting.

After alot of thought and worry I went with a Heatmor 200. Not feeling 100% sure it is the right move.

Working on my pile of wood for next season. Have one row 5' by 30' long piled. More waiting to be split and piled. Thinking I need about 6 rows total.

I was thinking it would burn 4 to 5 bush cords a season.  How are you coming up with 8 to 11?  If I burn 20 litres a day at 25000btu/litre that means i need 500,000btu a day. Does this sound right?

We have alot of ash, oak, beech, cherry, elm, and maple in the bush.

What about hydro outages if no one is home at the time? I am usually down the road at the other farm, but might not be around quick enough if the circulating pump were to stop.

Currently heating a well insulated 20 year old 2 story with finished basement(about 3000sgft total) and dhw with propane. Using about 20 litres a day at 50cents/litre. Also have a 24x32 well insulated shop that I can keep from freezing with a 110v  micro furnace. Would like to heat shop up to 60 to work in once in awhile.  Wood is available for free.  Located in southwestern Ontario.

Can't decide if it worth the expense of installing a OWB.  Don't mind cutting wood.  Anyone have any thoughts?
