Since
1984, Heatmor™ has manufactured quality outdoor furnaces
with several
unique safety and performance features. Each feature of the
Heatmor™
contributes to the exceptional product design and efficiency
of the furnace.
As you read, you too will understand why Heatmor™ has
built the reputation
for exceptional quality, excellence and performance.

 STAINLESS
STEEL
Heatmor™ began
producing outdoor furnaces using Type 409 Stainless
Steel in 1994. All furnace components that come in
contact with fire or water are manufactured using
Type 409 Stainless Steel ("titanium
enhanced"). Residential models are manufactured
with 10 gauge and Commercial models with 7
gauge.
Prior to 1994, Heatmor™ manufactured outdoor
furnaces using carbon steel.
Heatmor™
chose to begin using Type 409 Stainless Steel due to
its improved oxidation and corrosion resistance
versus carbon steel. Heatmor™ found that outdoor
furnaces manufactured using Type 409 Stainless Steel
would last approximately three times longer than
furnaces manufactured using carbon steel. It is this
reason we are able to offer the most comprehensive
warranty on the market.
According to 82 percent of our customers, stainless
steel construction proved to be the number one
reason why they purchased a Heatmor outdoor
furnace.* |
FORCED AIR COMBUSTION
The Heatmor™ has an over/under
Forced Air Draft system that blows air above and below the
fire. Forced draft furnaces have better heat recovery
ability when compared to naturally aspirated furnaces.
Forcing air onto the fire in the right places will generate
a hot fire faster than a natural draft system. Forced draft
will also burn larger wood more efficiently.
The forced draft feature was the
reason 52 percent of our customers purchased a Heatmor™
outdoor furnace.*

REMOVABLE ASH AUGER
The ash auger is a
tool used to remove ash from the rear of the Heatmor™
furnace. This makes for a more convenient and easy ash
removal. There is no need to let the fire burn out to remove
the ashes nor any need to shovel the ashes out the
front door. The ash auger is a removable tool, inserted only
at the time of ash removal. Once completed, the ash auger is
stored outside the furnace.
Almost 50 percent of customers chose the ash auger
system as one of the reasons they chose Heatmor™.*
|
WATER COOLED FIREDOOR
Having
water thermo-siphon through the Heatmor™ firebox door
virtually eliminates door warpage, important in keeping an
airtight system. Using a water-cooled door improves
the
efficiency of the furnace because it increases the heat
transfer area used to pull
heat from the fire.
INSULATION |
The Heatmor™ is
insulated with fiberglass bat insulation, the same as used
in insulating homes. The sides of the Heatmor™ are
insulated with R-19 and the top with R-38. The insulation is
non-flammable, easily accessible, long lasting and assists
in the creation of a well-built efficient furnace.
|
RAPID
RECOVERY WATER TEMPERATURE
The Heatmor™ water
capacity and forced draft fan along with the sand and
firebrick bottom make for quick water temperature recovery
during normal operation. With a quick water temperature
recovery, there is no need for large water capacity.
|
WARRANTY
Our new Limited
Lifetime warranty which covers defects in materials as well as
both corrosion and workmanship is by far one
of the best in the industry. Our mission is to provide solid
assurance in the exceptional quality, durability and
strength of our products. Because we have such great
confidence in our product, we are able to offer you one of
the most comprehensive warranties in the industry. Heatmor™
is the only company in the industry who provides service to
your unit. The key to researching warranties is reading the
fine print. (Complete warranty

DOUBLE
DOOR CONSTRUCTION
The Double Door
feature allows preheated air to be drawn into the over/under
Forced Air Draft system, increasing the efficiency of the
burn. The lockable outer door on the Heatmor™ provides an
important safety feature, keeping children and unwanted
guests out of the furnace.
BLADDER
The bladder allows
the Heatmor™ to be a semi-closed system, which will reduce
evaporation and pressure buildup in the system. Because the
bladder system holds the expanding water when heated, it
reduces the need to add water. When you add water to the
system, you also add contaminants, increasing the chance of
rust and corrosion. The bladder is meant to increase the
life of your furnace.

CSA APPROVAL
The Canadian
Standards Association (CSA) is a first class test certifying
body that symbolizes the safety of products. Most insurance
agencies require the product be CSA listed to be insured.
The Heatmor™ is CSA approved in the USA and Canada, which
shows the quality and credibility of the product. See the
Heatmor™ certified product listing at www.csa-international.org.
|
 FIREBRICK
The Heatmor™ is
considered an open-bottom furnace. The bottom of the furnace
is the most corrosive part of wood burning furnaces due to
the collection of acidic ashes. In order to combat the
corrosion issues in the bottom of the furnace, Heatmor™ utilizes sand
surrounded by firebrick. The two-inch thick firebrick allows
the fire to reach higher combustion temperatures in order to
facilitate a more complete burn. Additionally, the mass of
firebrick and sand allows for a heatsink which releases heat
during the shutdown period of the burn cycle (when your
furnace's water temperature is satisfied). The grates and
ashpan are nestled in the sand to allow for easy ash removal
without disturbing the burn.
|
OPEN BOTTOM SYSTEM
The lower nine inches
of the firebox is lined with two-inch thick firebrick.
During operation, the
firebrick will achieve temperatures in excess of 800ºF.
During the shutdown cycle, these hot bricks
will evaporate condensation.
The firebrick is placed
in the most corrosive area of the firebox, below the ash
line. Therefore, it is not necessary to scrape the corners
and look for corrosion.
The firebrick will retain heat
during shutdown. This, along with the forced draft
system
will re-ignite the fire more quickly. The area lined with
firebrick will achieve
a higher temperature during the burn
cycle to allow for a more complete burn.
