Having the furnace outside eliminates the possibility of causing a fire in your home. Also the oversize
door makes loading easier.

H
OW FAR AWAY CAN IT BE
?
1. Safety First! 2. Check with your insurance company to make sure you are in compliance with your
policy. Normally you should visit your wood furnace twice a day to check the fire and fill with wood. You
will want to have easy access to this location with a truck or tractor to replenish the wood when
needed.
W
HAT IF THE ELECTRICITY GOES OUT
?
The Earth Outdoor Wood Furnace uses very little electricity which can be supported by a small
generator. You can run a regular inexpensive extension cord to the unit and unplug the furnace from
the outlet on the back of the furnace and plug into a small generator. Problem solved. However, when
most homes lose electricity they have no way to power the indoor blower for their duct work. Either way
you will need something to back up your existing home as well as the wood furnace. Another option
would be to use an extension cord on a box style fan and place the fan so that it would blow into the
return vent of your duct work. Then close off the vents to rooms you can afford to let go cold.
Otherwise you will need to look into a system that will power your indoor blower. Consult electrical
contractors for most of that type of work.
