Hello Customer,
Congratulations! You have purchased a Northern Stoker Outdoor Furnace. We have fulfilled our
commitment to you. We have built an efficient, super heavy duty, attractive furnace. It is now your job to
ensure that it works as it was intended to work.
When you purchased your Northern Stoker, you took control of your home comfort level and heating
costs.
However, in taking control of your heating and home comfort, you have assumed some new
responsibilites.
1. To yourself: To keep a supply of proper fuel in storage for your furnace. This would be split, dry
firewood.
2. To yourself: Your neighbours and the environment. Do not burn green, wet wood, or other
products, such as garbage, as you will create clouds of smelly, noxious emmisions, which may
affect those close to you.
3. To Northern Stoker: If you put the proper fuel in your furnace, it will perform as we have said it
would. Also, with split dry firewood, you will burn 30-50% less fuel. This would represent a very
high return on your labour.
Your Northern Stoker will give you the best results if you burn the best possible fuel, which is Dry Wood.
If you cut your own fuel, wood over 5” (127 mm) in diamter should be split. Remember unsplit wood is
wet wood.
Also, the length of the firewood will affect your cost and quality of the burn in your unit. It costs less to
cut 1 piece of 48” (1219 mm) wood than 3 pieces at 16” (406 mm). If you have a Northern Stoker 48-54,
it was designed to burn 48” (1219 mm) wood. Long wood allows you to completely fill the burn chamber,
allowing for maximum burn time and maximum efficiency.
The bottom line is:
Wood, cut to the proper length, split, allowed to dry properly and stored in a dry location, will give you
the most satisfaction and the best financial return on your purchase.
