Whether your home or
business utilizes forced air, radiant floor heat, or has a traditional hot
water baseboard heating system, an Econoburn boiler will save you money on
you heating costs. What’s more, Econoburn boilers are
so efficient they burn just 1/2 the wood compared to traditional outdoor
wood furnaces! Available in sizes
ranging from 100,000 BTU to 500,000 BTU, an Econoburn high-efficiency wood-fired
gasification
boiler should take care of your heating and domestic water needs.
INDOOR and OUTDOOR
Installations available!
 Econoburn’s
indoor wood fired gasification boiler is designed for installation in your
home's basement, utility room, or even outside your home in virtually any
outbuilding. With its comfort and convenience of in home
installation, your system can be installed outside the home in a location
that makes it most convenient for you and your family to maintain.
Also, NO plate to plate heat exchanger is required when connected to your
existing hot water heating system saving hundreds of dollars on
installation costs! Just like a high efficiency gas or oil boiler,
the pressurized operation of the Econoburn system gives it approximately 2
1/2 times the life expectancy of conventional open-system wood furnaces.
Best of all, our state-of-the-art gasification technology yields an
amazing 87% thermal efficiency!
One very important topic
that needs to be understood is the process of 'Pyrolysis', that is how wood
gasifies when exposed to heat, [wood, in its solid form does not actually
burn...]. Listed are links to some fantastic articles on this topic
along with other very interesting information.

 Econoburn’s
wood
gasification technology increases burning
efficiency, minimizes emissions, and saves you money!
As wood is burned in Econoburn’s firebox, fresh air is blown downward
through the logs and coals. This hot smoke and air mixture is forced
into the lower combustion chamber and mixed with a second jet of
super-heated air creating a torch-like combustion of the retained gases –
a process called wood gasification.
The result:
almost all the gases are burned, with little residual soot or creosote.
The extra energy is transferred to Econoburn’s full jacket heat exchanger
yielding a thermal efficiency of 87%! What’s more, burning wood, nature’s
oldest renewable fuel, releases a similar amount of CO2 as if the wood
slowly decomposed on the forest floor.
