FORCED AIR WOOD Furnace
OUTDOOR WOOD FURNACE
The Federal EPA laws restrict Outdoor Wood BOILERS - and this is not a BOILER!
Please check with YOUR state before buying
NOT permitted in NY state for heating a residence
because some states have their own state EPA laws but again;
most all talk about BOILERS and this is NOT a boiler!

Another HyProTherm FIRST!
Shown using insulation sleeves over galvanized 12" duct.
Ductwork and a blower, instead of a pump on a boiler, to simply
blow the hot air into your home,
into existing ductwork BUT we can show you what to do it you don't have ANY
ductwork!
Video above, shows the proper insulation that the furnace REALLY needs;
(we and everyone else have been doing it wrong
according to the insulation engineers!)
We now have insulation with R-23 in the sides and R-57 in the front against the 700 degree firebox with up to R-88 optional EXTREME Cold Weather
Package, which is just $195!
ALL FURNACES purchased come
with the new and SUPERIOR Superwool
and Knauf insulation!

DYNAMIC DUCTWORK STORES ENERGY TECHNOLOGICALLY FOAMED SELF INSULATED AIR DUCT
SYSTEMS
It is unique to other materials because it is
manufactured with
food grade plastic that is safe for humans and the environment.
The material is mixed with a foaming additive during manufacturing to achieve
the density and performance parameter desired.
The preformed ductwork has the characteristic of a smooth low friction surface
that is resistant to mildew, mold, and Radon;
under pressure it will not crack and is non-toxic and recyclable. In addition,
the ductwork is self-insulating, adjustable and easy to install.
The thermal efficiency performance of TheBlueDuct has a test proven equivalency
for delivery effectiveness comparable to underground coated spiral ductwork
wrapped in R10.
That duct INSULATION is on eBay
for $69.99 and here for $61.75 for 25 feet
Water-Less Wood Furnace
HyProTherm has done it again! Backed by our
44 years of experience,
we have developed a Forced-Air WOOD FURNACE
that doesn't need water!
Comes complete with a forced-air draft fan and automatic damper
to fuel your fire with oxygen,
plus a big, full-size furnace squirrel cage fan
(3-speed 2100 CFM)
- IDEAL for any home or shop without
an existing heating system! No furnace? No ductwork? No radiators? No boiler? No
problem!!
- Excellent for those people
with cabins or homes that are left unattended because the water won't
freeze; there IS NO WATER.
- Use our built-in furnace fan
instead of an air handler or using your current furnace fan!
- Before spending thousands of
dollars on a
new furnace for your garage or shop, plus many more thousands for fuel -
choose a ThermoWind and heat for Virtually FREE!
- Eliminate the threat of a fire, by having the furnace
away from the house, just like with our outdoor wood fired WATER furnace
(often called a "boiler".
- Do you want an indoor wood
burning furnace for your attic or basement? Try our outdoor wood burning
furnace instead; No
carrying wood into the house, along with the bugs, bark and trash.
- NO SMOKE in the house either!
- Hook up our outside wood fired
furnace to your central heating ductwork!
Only a forced air furnace inside your home can be used
because ductwork is needed, so an electric, gas, oil. propane
furnace, etc, and heat pump or geothermal system can be used.
No boilers or radiant
floor heating systems can be hooked up. However, you can add
ductwork to any building (or not even use any ductwork) to heat
a building.
We can even help you if you
don't have any heating system now!
___________________
In case of a power failure, you can still have a nice
warn house,
when everyone else is cold!!
ONLY in the case of power failure and if you want heat,
it
requires a standard size portable 4000 watt generator for all ThermoWind models, (because of the
startup power that the motors take), with plenty of power left over for lights,
etc.
ONLY needed in case of a power failure; NOT needed for
everyday use.
This furnace can go outside and does not
have to be bolted to the house or go in the basement like many other models out
there!
Heat is carried to your home through insulated 12" pipes,
buried underground or you can use regular and less
expensive regular ductwork and insulate yourself.
According to the UL (Underwriters Laboratories) our furnace needs to be 5
feet away from flammables. The ThermoWind units cannot generally be more than
40 feet from your home because the temperature losses and airflow losses and
shouuld be as close a possible to your existing ductwork
You only need ductwork, a thermostat
and thermostat wire plus a power wire to install. DO IT YOURSELF!
No more worries about frozen
water OR RUST!
NO CHEMICALS and no annual water tests! No pumps!
Also perfect for folks who have power failures often (you
would need a generator to get heat but there is no worry about frozen water,
etc)
NOW there is no need to put the furnace right next to
the house or in the basement with our revolutionary insulated underground pipe!
These air pipes are only 12" in diameter so a
standard
backhoe with a 24" bucket can easily dig a trench
for the two pipes to lay side-by-side.
We are the ONLY wood furnace manufacturer that
has this!

Will burn Wood (even wet) OR COAL or both together!
All ThermoWind models will
burn COAL as well because we have a forced air induction
fan that blows air up through the grates just like a blacksmith's forge; the
only way that coal will burn is feeding oxygen from the bottom.
That is
why so many other furnaces and boilers will not burn coal because they have a fan on the front
door, which will not work.

Heating a well-insulated home in a climate as cold as PA,
using a
good hardwood like Oak and loading it twice a day.
FYI: If you are heating HALF as many square
feet as our rating,
you can load it just ONCE a DAY!
REMEMBER! There is no such thing as a furnace that is too big
because it is NOT like an air conditioner,
where if you get one too big, it becomes inefficient.
This
is like getting a bigger propane or oil tank! You can load
it with more wood (full rounds - no splitting!) and it will burn
longer and therefore you will load it less often. No one has ever
complained and said that I sold them one too big. In contrast,
many people have said, "I wished that I listened to
you!"

HyProTherm has been building furnaces since 1972!
Our furnaces have stood the test of time.
HyProTherm Forced-Air Outdoor Wood Furnaces are WELL BUILT to
save you money
by producing heat efficiently with a minimum of waste, expense, or unnecessary
effort.
Although our forced air furnaces are a new line, they are built using the same
materials,
familiar design
and proven techniques that we have been using for 44
years.
Perfect for folks with cabins or homes that are unattended.
Perfect for homes without an
existing heating system!
Will heat your home just as well
as a gas or oil furnace. (Will not heat your domestic
hot water.)
No worries about water
freezing ever again! No water tests! No pumps!
THE HyProTherm OUTDOOR WOOD BURNING FURNACE
How does an outdoor furnace heat my home?
The HyProTherm Outdoor Wood Furnace is designed to save the absolute most energy and
provide the most comfortable heating available; not dry. It heats your home by
heating a firebox surrounded by a steel air chamber. When this air chamber
reaches a preset temperature a fan controller turns on the main
circulation blower (our built-in furnace fan). This blower forces the air into your existing central
duct system. Can also be used without any
existing ductwork.
How do the Thermostat Controls work?
The only visible addition to the heating system inside your home is a 2nd
thermostat, which is located near the existing thermostat, where possible.
This thermostat actuates the combustion blower of your outdoor furnace to
fuel oxygen into the smoldering fire..
When the air inside the air chamber reaches the optimum temperature, a fan
controller turns on the main circulation blower. This blower forces the
air into your existing central duct system (if you have any). The original wall thermostat
turns on your original furnace, if the outside wood furnace is not in
operation. Your existing furnace will take over
automatically,
to maintain your household temperature.
This is good if you can't get home to fill the
furnace with wood or if you go on vacation. No switched and no relays to
make this happen.
Original Legacy Design with the smaller door
Two buried 12" pipes carry the heat to the house
and the cooler return air comes back.
This is standard steel duct wrapped with
insulation.
The insulated underground pipe looks different than this.

NO risk of water freezing! No fire risk either!
Why buy an outdoor wood furnace?
No logs to
carry in = no messy ashes and bugs in the house!
You can have your outdoor furnace conveniently located it near
the
wood pile, so you don't have to carry wood all around.
Safety
The chance of carbon monoxide
build-up in your home is eliminated.
Eliminate
allergies by getting the smoke outside!
The chance of a gas explosion
from your furnace in your home is eliminated.
Indoor pollutants of harmful
gases and fumes are eliminated too.
The chance of chimney
and flue fires is eliminated, in your home.
If you live in
a suburban or rural area near a source of cheap wood, you
could heat your
home for the entire season for the cost of one month's
electric heat bill, propane or oil bill.
An outdoor furnace requires
less tending than a smaller indoor wood stove or insert.
No inside
oxygen is used to fuel the heat like other wood or gas
burning units.
Does not cause respiratory problems like burning wood indoors.
No dry air either.
Wood is cheaper than buying it for a fireplace. Instead of
12-18' wood split,
you can put 26 or 40" pieces in this one and use full rounds.
No splitting wood; that makes buying wood even cheaper.
Burning
wood, a total renewable resource, is much less expensive than
other fuels.
The cost of
electric, gas, oil, or propane can be very erratic.
The low
cost of wood remains constant - or in many cases, FREE!.
The furnace
hooks up to any existing gas pack, heat pump or forced air system
- or can be used without any exiting heating system or ductwork.
Most people
say that they pay for their furnace in 2 years or less!
Imagine getting a 50% return on your money!
Where else can you get that? An outdoor furnace is the BEST
INVESTMENT EVER!
You've found the BEST!

heat to the door it does an excellent job of insulating the
door.

1/4" thick flue pipe - will not get damaged by throwing
wood in it.
The
chimney is low on the firebox and exits about 1 foot from the
bottom, so that the smoke - or more importantly, the gas and heat - is
trapped so that it doesn't quickly escape out the flue. That
would be a big loss of efficiency.
This way the air has to cool off to find its way down and out the chimney. This is also a better idea since you don't have hard-to-clean baffles getting a
creosote buildup on them.
Having
the chimney come down low
and stops
the heat, gases and smoke from rushing right out the
chimney
AND creates a HUGE Secondary burn chamber
to
burn off all the gases from the wood - a HUGE source of energy!
When wood starts to burn it's the gas that burns first!
Another
advantage is that the chimney exits through the air chamber, further
heating it up - for free!
Nothing does better!
This
also means that you will burn less wood than with other manufacturer's furnaces,
therefore you will use more wood - being less than
75% efficient. That's proof, not just rhetoric.
1/4"
Thick Steel Firebox - WILL NOT burn through - EVER! Will not crack or split like
stainless steel!
We have never had a
firebox failure, crack, split, rust-through or leak in 44 years of making the
3/8" thick firebox. After all, it is 50% thicker (or more) than most of the
competition!
Compare Firebox thickness
to another popular furnace at only .125" and another at .1875" thick.
We have a removeable ash
TRAY! Some other makes
don't even have an ash receptacle at all!
That makes it VERY HARD to clean out! You
have to let the fire die down or move the burning wood aside
to scoop out hot ashes. OUCH!
It is made of a
solid sheet of 3/8 inch thick steel, formed into 3/4 of the firebox by a 430 Tob brake press!
It WILL NOT RUST through in a lifetime! Will not
get stress cracks
like
Stainless Steel!
We have furnaces well over 30 years old and
more, still in use today!
The
removable grate is made out of CAST IRON unless you specify a wood model which gives you a
super thick
3/4" inch
bar stock grate

The blower in the back is a great aid
in getting
a fire started. It also recovers
the air temperature much quicker,
and
burns the wood up more completely
because oxygen is being fed to
the
bottom of the flame -
like blacksmith
feeds his fire!
A clean-burning fire is
more efficient than a smoky air-restricted fire. The forced
draft will burn hotter and therefore cleaner. Secondary
gases burn at 1200 degrees and with our furnace, they are trapped in the firebox so
that they are available to be burnt off without escaping out
the chimney. The HyProTherm will exceed that temperature.
< View through ash pan door and you can see the
fan blower inlet (seen in back of this picture).
The fan blower determines how hot the fire
burns and therefore how hot the air in the furnace gets. A thermostat on the
back of the furnace tells the blower when to turn off and on (and has a solenoid
activated door/damper), so it doesn't run all the time and will not waste wood.
This is a LOT more efficient than a manual
damper will ever be!
The air blows into the bottom of the fire,
through the grate - just like a blacksmith's forge. That's better than blowing in from the front
door (very obvious when you see that big box on the door) and into the side of
the fire, as all the others do (if they even have a fan).
You get more complete
burning fire when the oxygen is fed through the bottom!

Firebox size on the Thermowind 1000 LEGACY version, with the round firebox, is 36" wide x 28"
deep
x 27"
high (due to ash pan in bottom). All
sizes O.D.
The NEW style HAs the same lengthS; 28"
- 68" but taller at 34" tall and 30X" wide and holds 25% more
wood = 25% LONGER BURN TIMES BEFORE REFILLING!
The air chamber totally surrounds the
firebox, top and both sides.
The chimney is also surrounded
by air, drawing off heat.
The ash receptacle (and hot coals)
are surrounded
with air too, in the bottom!
2100 CFM 3-speed Forced air fan for home or building (bottom)
and forced air fan for furnace with solenoid activated
damper fan.
The fans and thermostat
included,
have a one-year
warranty.

2000 CFM on the ThermoWind 2000
You get a solenoid activated
damper too, INCLUDED!
Most parts
are available everywhere.
There are NO proprietary circuit
boards!
In case of a power failure, you can still have a nice
warn house, when everyone else is cold!!
Requires a 2000 Watt Generator for the ThermoWind 1000
model
and a standard portable 4000 watt generator for the 2,000 model,
(this is because of the startup power that the motors take),
but you will have plenty of power left over for lights, small appliances, etc.
You MAY need an heating and air guy to hook up the duct work, but all
you really need is an adapter from a round 12" pipe to your rectangle
(usually) pipe..
Everything is very simple and easy to do. There is a comprehensive manual,
with lots of pictures and diagrams, that will help you every step of the
way. You can also call me or the factory for assistance.
NOW there is no need to put the furnace right next to
the house, with our exclusive insulated
underground duct!!
Eliminate the threat of fire by having the furnace
well away from the house just like with our outdoor wood fired WATER furnace.
We are the only manufacturer that is doing this!
Perfect for folks who often have power failures or
those people with cabins, shops or homes that are unattended.
The two connectors in the back hook up to the blue pipes which are buried in the ground.
These pipes are only 12" in diameter so a
standard
backhoe with a 24" bucket can easily dig a trench
for the pipes to lay side-by-side.

Round Firebox/Legacy model style
shown but the
new models have the SAME blower configuration.
The ash pan is removable ash pan and it is
easily cleaned at the front, through the the lower/smaller door.
WARNING! Some
other makers don't even have an ash pan! You have to let the
fire die out or shove the hot burning logs aside (yeah, right!), then clean it
out while the firebox is 700F plus - and then restart the fire in the dead of
winter! Do you want to do that?
There is an fan/blower
that feeds air into the firebox, below the grate, to feed oxygen
to the fire. It is thermostatically controlled and solenoid activated for
greater efficiency, to keep the air temperature in
the furnace between certain parameters.
This is far better than an
inefficient manual draft opening.
Our
furnace is so strong and well-made,
that the
chimney alone is strong enough
to carry even the 2000 lb. weight of
our biggest forced-air furnace!
We move them like
this every day!
The exterior is
made of Heavy Duty Siding - 29 gauge structural quality, full-hard
steel. 10 layers of protective coating.
It has a
Lifetime film integrity Warranty for
walls and roof and a 30-year
warranty against fade and chalk. 10 year edge rust warranty
against acid rain.
20
colors
to best
suit your surroundings! Mix and match the roof, sides and corners.
There are legs on the bottom with the siding surrounding the bottom to
ground level.
Concrete pad is recommended but not necessary.
Use railroad ties, solid concrete blocks/pavers.
The chimney is made out of Schedule 40,
1/4" thick, solid steel pipe and is surrounded by air as well. It tops out at about
90" feet above ground. You can EASILY add standard 6" stove pipe extension(s)
using our adapter.
Super easy access!!
Some other
manufacturers have
to
have the whole hull removed
by 2-3 people
to access these components!!
There
is an extra large rear access hinged door. All electrical items are in back,
safely behind the door/lid!
HyProTherm
has easy
pipe (air duct) hookup and electrical hookups (simple 110V wiring).
No special tools needed.
The
easiest furnace for the self-installer to put in!
We
help you every step of the way!
Many people can say that
they can pay for their
HyProTherm forced-air wood furnace in
2 years or less of propane bills!
Start with a small chunk of wood.
:o)
You
can use these bigger, cheaper pieces or smaller ones - whatever
you can easily handle. The bigger
ones (rounds) require less cutting and no splitting so they cost less -
about 80-90 a cord in most areas.
ANY wood is
cheaper than oil, gas and electricity! One person said that they
have never used their propane heater after propane prices
tripled!
Whole rounds burn longer and
cleaner and
it's so nice not to have to split the wood!!
Shove the logs in on top of each other.
Use the 6 foot poker
(provided) for safety to push them in.
That big poker
comes with the furnace - for FREE!
Thought there wasn't a fire?
Think again!
Within a couple of minutes -
literally -
this fire was roaring!
We
use state-of-the-art Solar
Guard insulation all around!
Solar Guard is only 1/4" thick but combines a thermal
break, reflective insulation and an insulating layer of R11.6!
It has backing on both sides and is aluminum foil backed on one
side. We then insulate on top of that with R11 vinyl-backed fiberglass in the
walls and ceiling!
TRIPLE
INSULATED (R50) ON TOP - like a passive Solar house. You cannot feel the heat when you touch
the siding!
That
gives you R22.6 in the walls and now R50 in the ceiling!
FREE in
Northern U.S. states and in Canada and Alaska.
We will build YOUR furnace in any combination of 20 different, exciting
colors!
LOTS of Different colors and ALL come with motion lights (black or white)!
Water furnaces
are shown
here to display the assortment of colors.
Ocean Blue with White; White and Red; Ivory with Brown; Green with Black; White

Not all colors are available
at all times.
We can also build your furnace without siding,
so that you can for those who want to put it in an outbuilding
or you can apply regular siding, brick,
faux (cultured) stone
or almost anything else you can imagine.
This gives you a savings of $300.00!
Questions
about stainless steel answered
Do you build with stainless steel?
Hi!
No, we don't build
stainless for several really good reasons.
Our furnaces last longer than most stainless furnaces, with MANY of our water furnaces still
in use after 30 years plus!!
1. Mild steel transfers heat better than stainless does.
2. Stainless is a great sales feature, but little else, since
most companies use cheap stainless, like a car's exhaust system (which will rot
and fall off).
There are many cheap grades of stainless out there.
3. Since stainless is so expensive, the fireboxes are made
really thin. Some are no thicker than the metal of a trailer fender!! That's why you see
so many split and broken apart.
Our firebox is almost 4/10th of an inch thick, as opposed to .200 in
many furnaces. They never rust through.
We replaced several stainless steel Hardys and there are many
leaking Central Boilers and Hardys on eBay for sale.
4. Stainless is more prone to stress cracks, so why use it?
5. Unless the stainless is retreated after welding, you've lost
all of it's properties through the heating of the metal. And
it's being welded to mild steel anyway, so what's the use?
Like I said, it's a great sales feature but our super thick mild
steel furnace heats better, doesn't crack and split - and last
longer!
If stainless was better, we'd surely be using it after 44 years
of experience.
