They are also subjectto constant price fluctuations. Our Classic outdoor woodfurnace takes the age-old idea of burning wood andmodernizes it. By keeping the fire outside the home, iteliminates the dangers and mess associated with traditional
indoor wood stoves. Our innovative, industry-leadingdesign maximizes efficiency. It provides a heat sourcefree of foreign nation influence and “the grip of big oil.”Our Classic offers you an alternative that will save youmoney. In these pages you will find the latest models inour Classic line of outdoor wood furnaces and the PalletBurner model as well. You will get answers to questionsyou may have about our clean, efficient approach to woodheat.

The Classic Outdoor Wood Furnace Can Work for You
The Classic outdoor wood furnace is installed outside, typically 100to 200 feet (but as far as 500 feet) away from your home or business,and works with any existing heating system. A water jacketsurrounds the furnace firebox and heated water is pumped to thehome or building through insulated underground tubes. Water-to-airor water-to-water heat exchangers or direct circulation conveys theheat into the structure’s forced-air furnace, boiler or radiant floorheating system. This allows for normal thermostatic control oftemperature for safe, even and comfortable heat. The ability to heatmultiple buildings and domestic water can eliminate your heatingbills. Outside burning removes the threat of devastating chimneyfires and the dangerous carbon monoxide buildup or oxygen depletionwhich affects your indoor air quality. It also eliminates the smoke,ashes, odors and soot buildup on walls and ceilings inside your homethat indoor burning creates.

could meet, and we build it everyday. We rely on scientific testing to
accurately verify the performance of our furnaces, which continues to
set the highest performance levels in the industry. Our line of outdoor
wood furnaces is unmatched! We have a better design and a more
efficient firebox thanks to our exclusive Ripple Top® construction and
water-cooled HeatLock Baffle™. We spray on waterproof urethane
insulation to keep the heat in and we use industrial-quality siding to
withstand the elements and time. That all adds up to faster recovery
times and less wood consumption. The large, insulated cast-iron door
has the Central Boiler name proudly embossed on it. Our furnaces
offer more surface area between the water and the fire to achieve better
heat transfer. Better design, more insulation, more heat and the best
recovery time...there is only one company that can deliver it all:

There is no match for the urethane insulation we use on our furnaces.The sprayed-on urethane foam insulation provides a waterproof, airtightbarrier that does not degrade or compress like fiberglass batt insulationdoes. The urethane foam provides 2-3 times the effective “R” value ofconventional fiberglass batt insulation. Consider that the most efficientwater heaters use urethane foam.

Barrel stove (drum) and boiler flue firebox designs donot gasify, collect and burn the combustion gases likethe Ripple Top and HeatLock Baffle firebox design. Achimney in the top of the firebox (or exhaust flues usedfor heat transfer) can leave the fire behind tryingto catch up to the unburned gases. In some cases,combustion actually occurs either in the chimney or inareas where the heat is not recoverable. This meansincreased wood consumption, more frequent fillings andhigher emission rates. Inefficient firebox designs canincrease wood consumption, yet deliver less heat. Drybaffles reach temperatures over 1000°F, resulting inwarping and burn out.
Competitors’ Inefficiency
The Ripple Top® and HeatLock Baffle™ producemaximum heat transfer. This design “raised the bar”and created a new standard for the wood heatingindustry. The Classic is unmatched in efficiency andease of use. Our exclusive HeatLock Baffle alsocreates a secondary combustion area by trappinggases in the firebox for optimum combustion and heattransfer. A water jacket surrounding the entirefirebox allows heat transfer from all sides includingthe coal bed. The chimney exits out the rear ofthe firebox eliminating corrosion that competitorsexperience from top-exiting chimneys.

Insulated Cast Iron DoorThe Classic offers an insulated door that is built to last. Each door is a moldedpiece of cast iron with hinges measuring 5/8" thick. The door is molded witha recessed cavity which holds 2 inches of high quality insulation. The dooralso houses the draft opening. Each door’s draft seat is machine milled to1/1000" to ensure the proper seal of the damper. The damper is connected toan electronic solenoid using a steel linkage. The linkage is held in place byhardened cotter pins.
The door’s outside steel cover and louvered draft enclosure are cut and formedusing state-of-the-art production machinery for the best fit and finish.
The casting provides a uniform groove for the door gasket. The gasket performance is further enhanced with the unique Cam Loc® door latching system.This latching system guarantees a tight seal each time the door is closed.

Testimonial-
“Before, with our two indoor wood stoves, we
had problems with smoke in the house, soot,
and dirt. We were concerned about how safe
they were, and we had to load them every three
hours. With our Central Boiler Classic outdoor
wood furnace, we feel much safer, and we only
have to load it about every two days. Also, my
son has asthma, and since we got the outdoor
furnace, he’s had fewer problems. I think it’s
because the air is much cleaner inside now.
That was a real unexpected benefit. Probably
the best one of all.”

Wood The most economical choice. The woodmode allows the user to operate the furnace burningonly wood. Heating with wood is endorsed by theU.S. Forestry Service and the Union of ConcernedScientists.
Clean Start This wood burning mode allows theDual Fuel burner to operate for a selected periodof time at the beginning of each burn cycle tocreate immediate high temperature in the secondarycombustion area of the Ripple Top and HeatLockBaffle firebox design. This mode also providesautomatic backup with alternate fuel.
Dual Fuel Backup This mode automaticallyinitiates the Dual Fuel burner as a backup if theoperator does not refuel the furnace with wood.
Fuel Oil - LP/NG This mode allows operation ofthe furnace when not firing with wood. The LiquidPropane, Natural Gas and Fuel Oil burners are shippedwith a 150,000 Btu rating and may be increased forcertain applications.

Testimonial-
“We own a CL 5648 and to say that the furnace has
made a difference in our lives would be a huge
understatement. Our first [electric heat] bill for
the house, the computer rejected it and I had to call
them to see what was wrong. The lady explained
that there had to be something wrong with the
meter. Well for the next five weeks they came to my
house to read the 'defective' meter every three days
to finally realize that the furnace was making all
the difference.”

Why You Should Choose The Central Boiler Classic®
Outdoor Wood FurnaceIt’s an alternative that eliminates the problems and increases the advantages of wood heat. It’s a choice that can improve your family’s living environment and standard of living while eliminating the fire hazards and time-consuming chore of tending a traditional wood stove.
The Central Boiler Classic outdoor wood furnacecan heat 100% of your home and hot water. By virtually eliminating your heating costs, the Classic can often pay for itself in the first two yearsof use. Over a ten year period, a homeowner or business may save $10,000 to $50,000 or more inheating costs. And generally the Classic uses 25% to 50% less wood compared to traditional woodfurnaces or other brands of outdoor wood furnaces.
The Classic saves you time and means less workbecause it burns larger pieces of wood. There’s lesssplitting which significantly reduces the time youspend preparing the wood. The large firebox isdesigned for easy loading of wood and removal of ash.
The Classic is beneficial for the environment becauseburning wood is natural. Wood is a totally renewableresource and, when burned, results in no net increasesin carbon dioxide. On the other hand, fossil fuelswhen burned, release carbon dioxide which wouldotherwise be trapped in the earth. The burning offossil fuels causes a net increase in carbon dioxidewhich is believed to be responsible for the heat trapping greenhouse effect.
