interesting design
When it comes to heating a room or house in the dead of winter, who are we to argue with Canadian lumberjacks? The Bullerjan Furnace ($TBA) employs a crazy engine-like design to move air from the bottom to the top vents, heating it on the way by. Meanwhile, the unique design also allows for even burn up and lengthy heat retention, getting the most out of the wood it burns.

1000 W = 3414btu....maybe? Output of these is in watts.
Nice set of headers though.
And the monkey presses the button.

yeah, just noticed that, the one is 6 kw so it would have a btu of 20472, wonder how much those headers actually help

That looks pretty cool. Do you have the name/link/info on the furnace that is on the outside of the house that you fill with wood once
and it heats all day?

I remember reading a article years ago on building your own, basically it was digging a pit, building a copper manifold, inserting in pit, fill with sand, build cement block shed on top with metal roof and such, basically fire up inside the shed, it heats up the sand, which heats up the water. Obviously you would need circulators and pressure relief valves so you don't have a steam bomb, always thought it was a neat idea

but be aware from talking to people who have them, they have told me they take a lot of wood, and usually they have to feed it twice a day, and if you let the fire go out it takes a while to get it running up to temp

talking about the outdoor wood boiler, right? Not the Bullerjan furnace.
