WOODMASTER OUTDOOR FURNACES • OWNER'S MANUAL
Planning the Location
When selecting a suitable location, carefully consider each of the following:
• The WoodMaster is designed for outdoor use. We do not
recommend installing in a building. When installing your
WoodMaster, keep in mind the direction of the winds during heating
months. Try to place the furnace in an area where exhaust will
not be a problem for yourself or any surrounding neighbors. For
commercial use only, not to be connected to a residence.
• Must be installed in accordance to all applicable codes and
regulations.
• Check with your insurance company to see if they have any location
requirements.
• Consider prevailing winds and the direction smoke will travel.
• The shorter the distance between the outdoor furnace and
building(s) being heated, the lower the cost will be for the
installation of the hot supply and return water lines, and ThermoPEX
insulation.
• Be sure to maintain the required clearances to combustibles and
recommended maintenance clearances.
• ThermoPEX pre-insulated piping is recommended for all
installations. Other types of insulated pipe configurations may result
in high heat loss and increased wood consumption.
• If the ground at the location is unstable or subject to frost heaving,
consider installing 2" (5 cm) closed-cell insulation under the front
portion of the concrete slab the outdoor furnace will be installed on,
and under the area around the slab used for walking. Your Owner's
Manual has more information about foundations and foundation
dimensions.
Chimney Specifications
To insure proper insulation, use only a Class A Insulated Chimney and
Chimney Adapter from your local WoodMaster Dealer.
CAUTION
Using a non-insulated chimney or failure to use a Class A Insulated chimney WILL
result in a voided warranty .
