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. 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.*
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.
Almost 50 percent of customers chose the ash auger
system as one of the reasons they chose Heatmor™.*
WATER COOLED FIREBOX DOOR
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.
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.*
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.
WARRANTY
Our 10 year limited warranty which covers defects in materials as well as
both corrosion and workmanship is by far one of the best in the industry.
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

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 lower nine inches of the firebox is lined with two-inch thick
firebrick. There are several reasons for this.
During operation, the firebrick will achieve temperatures in excess of 800
degrees Fahrenheit. 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 quicker. The area lined with firebrick will achieve a higher
temperature during the burn cycle to allow a more complete burn.
OPEN BOTTOM SYSTEM
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 furnace, Heatmor™ utilizes sand surrounded by firebrick. The
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 gives off 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.
