- It has efficient and dependable features:
- Portage & Main Outdoor Water Furnace (wood furnace) burns all
types of wood. The Stoker models burns coal, sawdust, shavings,
wood pellets, bio-fuels, etc efficiently.
- Portage & Main Outdoor Water Furnaces use 1/3 to 1/2 less fuel that most
conventional stoves of this type. (wood stoves, furnaces, boilers)
- the built in multi-pass heat exchanger maximizes heat extraction from
the flue gases.
- modulating combustion provides for a complete efficient burn.
- air injected under the grates and over the fire just below the vertical
baffle allows for a more complete burn of gases--quick recovery and reduced
smoke emissions.
- It provides societal & environmental benefits:
- Portage & Main Outdoor Water Furnaces use a homegrown
renewable fuel helping to keep local money within the community.
- wood burners do not contribute to global warming and the greenhouse
effect as carbon dioxide emissions from either burning or allowing the wood
to decompose on forest floors are the same.
- use of a Portage & Main Outdoor Water Furnace minimizes the use of
expensive fossil fuels such as natural gas and oil, which cause a net
increase in carbon-dioxide which is believed to be responsible for the green
house effect.
- they are an efficient use of alternative, sustainable energy.
Burn a tree, plant a tree, ensure sustainable energy for future generations.
