Outdoor Wood Furnace TOTALLY RENEWABLE HEAT SOURCE The most advanced, efficient outdoor wood furnace on the market today. Look for exclusive E-Classic features. CentralBoiler.com Welcome to the best way to heat with wood. Welcome to Central Boiler. Your reasons for heating with wood are likely the same reasons Central Boiler was founded in 1984. But rather than just develop another way to heat with wood, Central Boiler set out to develop better ways to heat with wood. They dared ask the tough questions: can heating with wood be safer, less time-consuming, cleaner and more efficient? Today, with those questions still in mind, and a goal of continuous improvement and refinement, Central Boiler is the largest manufacturer in North America of the best-selling, industryleading outdoor wood furnaces available. PEACE OF MIND Keep the fire outside and it eliminates the traditional indoor wood stove hazards. Burning wood indoors is inherently dangerous as there is a threat of a fire and carbon monoxide buildup. IMPROVED INDOOR ENVIRONMENT The mess stays outside with a Central Boiler outdoor wood furnace. Anyone that has burned wood inside is familiar with the smoke, ashes, odors and soot that often occur. In addition, bringing wood indoors can bring unwanted bugs, bark and dirt. FREEDOM TO DO MORE Those that choose to heat with wood often do so because of the cost savings. With a Central Boiler outdoor wood furnace, it can take less wood to heat more space, so no matter what your costs and time are associated with acquiring your wood supply, using less wood means you’ll have more time (plus save more money!) to do other things. STABILITY Wood is usually sourced locally. Conventional heat sources like propane, natural gas and fuel oil will always be susceptible to price fluctuations and are irreplaceable fossil fuels. Historically, the price of electricity trends only upward. SUSTAINABILITY Harvesting wood with sustainable forestry practices helps to maintain a healthy ecosystem for wildlife habitats, aesthetics, soil and water quality, native biological diversity, recreational opportunities and fire prevention. “It’s the right thing to do!” PRESERVES WILDLIFE HABITAT 2 Harvesting wood has a pruning effect on forests – planting new trees ensures wildlife will have a healthy habitat. What do you currently pay for heat? Cost per 100 million Btu Cost per cord of seasoned red oak $ x 6.61 = $ Cost for one gallon of fuel oil $ x 892.9 = $ Cost for one therm of natural gas $ x 1250 = $ Cost for one gallon of propane $ x 1359 = $ Cost per kilowatt of electricity $ x 29300 =$ Cost of fuel annually Cost of fuel annually Cost of fuel annually Cost of fuel annually Cost of fuel annually Appliance efficiency will affect annual fuel cost. Water heater savings up to an additional $1200 per year. SOIL AND WATER QUALITY AESTHETICS AND RECREATION Reforestation reduces erosion risks and protects watersheds that are a source of the water we drink and use. Sustainable forestry makes more room for new and healthier growth through reforestation. REDUCES FOREST FIRES By harvesting old and dead trees that can easily burn, it can significantly reduce the risks of costly wildfires. 3 Sophisticated, yet simple. How a Central Boiler outdoor wood furnace works. While a Central Boiler outdoor wood furnace is one of the most sophisticated, technologically advanced ways to heat with wood, how it heats is a pretty simple idea. A Central Boiler outdoor wood furnace burns wood to heat water. The heated water is circulated through insulated underground pipes called ThermoPEX to the buildings being heated. Heated water can transfer its heat energy by direct circulation or by moving through one or more heat exchangers, or both. LOCATION The Central Boiler outdoor wood furnace is located outside, typically 30 to 200 feet (but as far as 500 feet) away. CIRCULATION The furnace contains a high volume of water that surrounds the furnace firebox and heat exchanger. This heated water is circulated to buildings through insulated underground pipes which is a highly efficient way to move heat over distances. INTEGRATION Central Boiler outdoor wood furnaces are designed to work with your existing heating system. Water-to-air or water-to-water heat exchangers or direct circulation conveys the heat into the structure’s forced-air furnace, radiant baseboard or radiant floor heating system. This allows you to control the heat simply with your thermostat. UNLIMITED HOT WATER When you install a heat exchanger on your domestic water heater, you can enjoy unlimited hot water and the savings from turning your water heater off. Installing your Central Boiler outdoor furnace is easier than you might think. Many customers choose to install their own furnace because the installation can be easily completed using the installation manual. Authorized Central Boiler dealers have all the supplies and accessories you need for installation and maintenance. All of our dealers can provide you with information regarding your installation, and most dealers can even handle the entire installation for you. HEAT MULTIPLE BUILDINGS Unlike an indoor wood stove, a Central Boiler outdoor wood furnace has the ability to heat multiple buildings such as a house, garage, workshop, shed, greenhouse or barn. It can even be used to heat a swimming pool or hot tub. Installation is a breeze. Connect the piping and heat exchangers to your existing heating system and the E-Classic is ready to go to work. Find additional information about how outdoor furnaces work, installation scenarios, and more at CentralBoiler.com 4 5 Engineered to the highest standards...ours. A Ultimate Control The FireStar™ II Electronic Controller automatically adjusts the primary and secondary air which optimizes the gasification process allowing the furnace to be more efficient and cleaner burning. It is capable of data collection with the ability to communicate with other devices, and provides the user with easy operation of the furnace with just the touch of a button. E High Efficiency Clean Burning Final combustion takes place as these gases move downward through the Fusion Combustor to the Reaction Chamber where extremely high temperatures aid in complete combustion. This entire process results in high efficiency and extremely low emissions. F Operational Convenience Bypass Door allows you to redirect the exhaust before opening the firebox door. The Bypass Door Alarm reminds you to close the bypass door after you have closed the firebox door for efficient operation of your furnace. B Less Maintenance The Xtract® Heat Exchanger allows you to get the most heat out of your wood. It is designed to optimize the transfer of heat from the extremely hot gases to the water. The vertical design of the heat exchanger allows any small particles in the exhaust to drop to the bottom. They are easy to clean out from the Reaction Chamber. This minimizes the amount of maintenance. H F G Easy Loading C Burns Less Wood A hallmark of Central Boiler furnaces for over 30 years, spray-on urethane is the ultimate airtight, waterproof insulation that locks the heat in to reduce wood usage, even at temperatures of -35˚F or colder. It provides 2-3 times the effective R-value of conventional fiberglass batt insulation. Fiberglass batt insulation also settles and compresses over time. G B A C (Photo Electronic Controlled) Fiberglass Batt Waterproof D Airtight I Easy Ignition Option I The optional gas-fired wood ignition takes the work and worry out of lighting a fire. With just the push of a button, the power ignition will light the fire. It will also automatically relight the fire if needed, even when you are away from home. It is just that easy. Effectively covers all surfaces Maintains R value E Higher R value Doesn’t compress Model E-Classic 3250 D Performance Patented Air Charge Tube adds air in all the right places to aid in the combustion process and keeps the coals from falling through into the lower Reaction Chamber. 6 H LED Lights The long-lasting, energy efficient LED lights save money and enhance safety. They illuminate the inside of the firebox and the front and sides of the outdoor furnace and can be set to conveniently, automatically turn on at night. Comparing Insulation Urethane This triple insulated firebox door is just the right height and features a large opening for easy loading, making your job much easier. The ergonomically designed, lockable door features a Cam Loc door closure that secures the door at all four corners and provides a tight seal each time the door is closed. Its triple insulation keeps the heat in and the cold out for maximum efficiency. Exclusive E-Classic features. Central Boiler's Research and Development department is home to one of the most complete state-of-the-art testing laboratories in the industry. Since 1984, its goal has been to develop, engineer, test and refine a wide range of quality heating products to ensure Central Boiler quality, performance and value are in every outdoor furnace manufactured. 7 Smart features designed with you in mind. Convenient operation and choices to fit your lifestyle. THE MOST ADVANCED FURNACE The FireStar II electronic controller comes standard on all E-classic models. The FireStar II electronic controller monitors all functions of the furnace and can store and share operational data. The controller’s technology optimizes the gasification process by automatically adjusting the primary and secondary air for a cleaner and more efficient burn. Operational data can be utilized with a memory card or on the FireStar™ XP module when connected to the FireStar™ II. INSULATED REAR ACCESS PANEL This panel swings open giving you full access to the Reaction Chamber door, power disconnect and pumps, all from one location. That makes installation and maintenance convenient and easy. The insulated panel keeps the heat in and the cold out, which preheats the combustion air and makes the furnace more efficient. EFFICIENCY MEANS MORE HEAT FROM LESS WOOD Central Boiler E-Classic outdoor furnaces’ energy efficient designs maximize the combustion and heat transfer process for better heat delivery. In other words, our outdoor furnaces burn more completely and efficiently, and transfer more of the heat generated to your home. Current owners of E-Classic outdoor furnaces report that they are using up to 25% to 70% less wood compared to traditional wood furnaces or other brands of outdoor wood furnaces. Indoor wood stoves can be less efficient because heated indoor air used for combustion is sent out the chimney, causing cold air to be drawn into the house to replace it. Indoor wood stoves can also overheat the room. TIME SAVING OPTION Never start a fire manually again! The optional Gas-fired Wood Ignition Kit is easily installed in minutes without modifications and gives you the convenience of easy push-button lighting of the wood with the added convenience of automatic relighting if needed. The propane burner is standard. A natural gas conversion kit is available. Kit is pre-assembled and easy to install no wiring needed. Available for all E-Classic Ignition Ready (IR) models, the Gas-fired Wood Ignition Kit is available from your Central Boiler dealer. BURN WOOD, NOT YOUR SPARE TIME. Continuous stoking of wood is a necessary part of fireplace and wood stove use. If you don’t have the time or energy to continually babysit these heat sources, a Central Boiler outdoor furnace is your low-maintenance alternative. Since Central Boiler outdoor wood furnaces can burn larger pieces of wood they can dramatically reduce time spent preparing the wood. The large firebox door is designed for easy loading of wood and removal of ash. STAYING CONNECTED Stay connected to the furnace that saves you money on your heating bills from almost anywhere in the world. Adding the FireStar XP wi-fi module keeps you in constant contact with your Central Boiler furnace if you’re away. The FireStar XP wi-fi module can send you reminders such as when to add wood. View operational information on any web enabled device and receive text alerts on your smartphone. Phone not included. Requires data plan, wireless router and internet to enable remote access.

My home is 8,000 plus square feet, well I'm happy to say I was wrong! This thing is amazing! I was on heating oil, and in the dead of winter I was burning about $1,600 a month in heating oil and propane to heat my house and hot water! I now have more hot water than I know what to do with! And my cost savings are out of this world! I'm going through a cord of wood a week at $125 a cord so that's $500 per month compared to the $1,600 I was spending! I know this sounds too good to be true but it is! ” - Thad, AK “ “ I installed a Central Boiler 2 years ago. I heat a 2,500 square foot farm house and heat water for a family of 6. I haven't used a drop of fuel oil since and have even turned off the breaker to the water heater. The best decision I ever made was purchasing my Central Boiler. - Lee, MI We purchased our Central Boiler last December and we love it! I sometimes find myself saying I wish I had it 10 years ago. Thanks. ” “ I think that the Central Boiler should be rated a 12 on a 1 out of 10. This is such a wonderful product, no home should be without one. - David, OH “ ” I have been an owner of a Central Boiler since 1992. It has been a great money saver over these many years. -Randal, MN ” ” - Matt, MI ” - David, IL “ I load it once a day and forget about it. It is so much more convenient than having to constantly load the indoor wood burner and I am using about half the wood. I am more at ease with the fire outside away from the house along with the dust, bugs and ash. It has also been nice not having to hear the propane hot water heater run at all. The unit is nicely constructed and blends in with the surroundings out in the yard. ” - Lucas, NC “ - Barry, TN “ This is my second winter with the Central Boiler and my only regret is that I didn’t buy it sooner. ” “ This is the fourth year I have owned my Central Boiler and I have to say, it may very well be the best investment I have ever made. The furnace has paid for itself. I continue to be impressed with the quality and efficiency of the Central Boiler product, the simplicity of maintenance, and the excellent dealer support I receive. I have recommended your product to many people and will continue to do so, as I truly believe it is superior to your competitors. - John, WV ” Read, watch and hear more at CentralBoiler.com 13 E-Classic Model Lineup Choose the right Central Boiler outdoor wood furnace for your application.
