Installation pricing depends on the distance to your home, the number of buildings being heated, your existing heating system and the parts required. Basic installations located close to the home typically start around $1,200.

Timing depends on how many buildings are being heated and whether the system connects to an existing heat source. A typical installation can often be completed in one day, although more complex installations may require additional time.

Yes. Many customers install their own stoves. You will need the appropriate tools and experience, and technical support is available to help answer installation questions.

Yes. The insulated underground pipe we offer can withstand temperatures well below 0°F. The pipe can be temporarily laid on top of the ground or snow, with the underground work completed after the ground thaws.

Always confirm placement requirements with your insurance company and local authorities. Many insurance companies require an outdoor furnace to be at least 25 feet from the residence.

The possibilities are extensive: residential homes, pools and hot tubs, domestic hot water, radiant in-floor heating, commercial buildings, greenhouses, garages and workshops, barns and agricultural buildings, snow-melt systems and more. A Crown Royal Stove cannot be used with a one-line steam system.

Yes. Multiple dual-line insulated underground pipes can be connected through a hydronic heating manifold on the supply and return lines. The total connected load must stay within the BTU limits of the selected model.

Approved fuel varies by model. Common fuels include wood, coal and corn. Review the specifications and operating manual for the model you are considering before choosing a fuel.

Wood use depends on the square footage, insulation, climate, desired temperature and hot-water demand. An average-sized home may use approximately 6–10 cords per heating season.

Depending on the Crown Royal model, the firebox can accept wood approximately 24–36 inches long.

No. Splitting primarily speeds drying. Dry wood produces more usable heat per pound, so green or wet wood is not recommended.

Yes, although a cloverleaf rain cap is recommended to help protect the furnace and chimney. When the furnace is not in use, place a suitable cover over the chimney to prevent water entry.

Yes. Crown Royal Stoves use a non-pressurized, airtight, fan-forced combustion system designed to control the burn and prevent overheating. Many owners continue using their system in late spring or early fall.

Yes. A dependable backup heat source is always recommended.

Pristine gasification models produce relatively little ash. Place ash in a metal container and allow it to cool completely before proper disposal. Some owners use small amounts of fully cooled wood ash in gardens, flower beds or lawns when appropriate.

Typical parts include insulated underground pipe, heat exchangers, pumps, PEX piping and plumbing fittings. The exact list depends on the buildings and heating systems being connected.

No. With a heat exchanger, a backup system and continuous circulation, antifreeze may not be necessary. For long periods without heat or circulation, use an approved antifreeze solution or fully drain the outdoor system according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Proper water treatment helps preserve efficiency and extend system life by reducing corrosion and scale buildup. Use the approved control chemical and follow the manufacturer’s testing and maintenance requirements.

Service life varies with installation quality, operation, water treatment and ongoing maintenance. A well-maintained stove may last 30 years or more.

Crown Royal Stoves are covered by a 20-Year Limited Warranty, subject to the complete warranty terms, registration and maintenance requirements. Crown Royal also states that customers who repurchase after the twentieth year may receive 10% off a replacement stove.
