Outdoor Wood Furnace and Introducing My Dad
This isn’t a comedy bit. I just happened to see an Outdoor Wood Furnace at the mall and thought it was interesting since I’d never seen one. Also my dad makes an appearance and tells a short Vietnam story

Its basically at boiler. there is a water jacket wrapped around burner. You run pipes underground to pool, through green house, garage, dryer, hot water tank and into existing gas furnace that you have taken out gas burner and replaced with heat exchanger. the liquid is antifreeze so that it can handle heat and not freeze if fire runs out. load with 4 foot logs a couple times a week. So through heat exchangers it can heat anything. In my area it has to be 100ft from house, need large lot
Thank you for the …
Thank you for the video, very interesting. God Bless your dad.
You really have not …
You really have not done your homework…have you. I think we are talking 2 different things. Around here, in SE Penna, we have these who buy a woodstove at Homedepot, put in a (cold) S/S chimney, burn the thing less that 700f, and wonder why they have a creosote problem. Creosote is the volitiles that account for 25-40% of woods heat. SO, this becomes opaque, acidic smoke, that is flammable. IF you have flammable smoke, you ARE polluting. It needs to be burned, PERIOD>>! Write for more info.
did you ride the …
did you ride the short bus to school? wood is better for the enviorment then anything else. id rather burn it then coal, lp, ng, heating oil, anything like that. wood has no petro in it whatsoever.
“anything that …
“anything that burns wood is”…apparently you have not the knowledge of this. IF you should go onto the roof of a ’smoker’ and with a lit rag, put it to the smoke…IF IT LIGHTS..it is WORSE than an oil fired unit…period. I am an advocate of wood burning, but, efficiently, as in complete burning of the wood, solids, gases, volitiles, the whole thing. You can ONLY get this with ‘rocket’ stoves, and masonry stoves/ovens. Please check this out. Masonry Heater ociation is worth the look.
these are very …
these are very enviormently friendly! anything that burns wood is!
We live in Pa, and …
We live in Pa, and the sale of these things, how people burn them, with thick UN-burnt smoke all over the neighborhood, is IRRESPONSIBLE..! The burning temp is too LOW, the stack un- insulated and at least 12+ feet tall, to help the draft. They are generally not lined with fire brick, hence, way too low burn temp. Modify, or expect a rebuff by legislation, regarding the pollution they are creating. IF you don’t believe me, ask an owner for a peek inside, if you see black soot, end of story.
these are usually …
these are usually 120,000 btu to 300,000 BTU WILL HEAT FROM 2000-5000 SQ FT HOME.
thanks for posting …
thanks for posting nice video . i was thinking of getting one of these ,i see them for sale on e-bay for 5999 dollars
you’re dumb
you’re dumb

Thanks Dicom. I’d say they’re good in rural settings. I wouldn’t want to use one in a city residential area though. One guy here on YouTube sent me a link to a video where his neighbor was using one and the wind kept blowing smoke straight down at his house even though the stove had a reasonably tall smokestack. I wouldn’t have wanted to live next to it at any rate.
Well Blink I don’t …
Well Blink I don’t know how I missed this one before. After watching your daddy a bit I can see some of him in you.
Regarding that boiler. Those things are fantastic. I have a couple of friends that use those those and fuel em with old pallet wood. It saves them a fortune in energy costs!
I like your dad.
I like your dad.

I have an indoor wood furnace but is much smaller simpler than this unit and no hotwater. This unit is beautiful but would use a lot of wood to preheat this big box.
yeah man it gets …
yeah man it gets like 60 below with no wind

So your’s also sits outside and ties into your ductwork and also heats water? I’d certainly never seen one before. Thank goodness it’s nowhere near as cold here as your neck of the woods.
Thanks jetsett. I’m …
Thanks jetsett. I’m pretty sure I can get him to tell a few more stories:)
Love your dad’s …
Love your dad’s story. Please try to get him to tell us more. I am a 20-year vet also and would like to hear from a real war veteran. Love ya Blink!
I’ll try to get dad …
I’ll try to get dad to do a few more. I doubt I set up a new channel though. I segment stuff by Comedic-creative/Cats/Everything Else via playlists on my channel anyway so I don’t mind different stuff appearing there.
I was teasing you!! …
I was teasing you!! I know that you were as puzzled as I and it WASD interesting!! It looked like the o;d fashioned kind of well made!! Happy hol;idays top you & your dad! I’ll bet he has lots more stories about Vietnam!
Thanks Dickens, Ya …
Thanks Dickens, Ya most people think I look like him. Actually I don’t want an outdoor wood furnace. (I’m someone who values convienence:) It was just something I’d never seen before and thought it might make an interesting video.
I use one of those …
I use one of those type of furnaces it is the best way to heat your home or shop and living in minnesota its super cheap
Is that what u want …
Is that what u want for Christmas? Looks like a high maintenance equipment Prize is crazy. Good to see your dad
Hi doug, Ya he has …
Hi doug, Ya he has several more stories. I’ll see if he will tell them. I’m using a Kodak V570 dual lens camera. I really like it. It’s very small. I had horrific audio problems with the first one I had and had to exchange it. This one has been much better. The downsides to it are having only a 3x optical zoom and having no flip-out rotating LCD screen which sometimes forces me to use a mirror to set up the proper shot.
why would you want …
why would you want to heat the outdoors ?!? — gotta have more dad –
huggin’ you
