How an OutdoorFurnace Works

Crown Royal Stoves outdoor furnaces, boilers and hydronic heaters produce heat outside, then deliver it quietly and efficiently to your home, business or other buildings.

The Heating Process

The outdoor furnace heats water, moves it through insulated underground piping and transfers that heat into your existing indoor heating system.

1

Heat Is Created Outdoors

The Crown Royal Stove is normally installed 20 to 300 feet from the building, often near your fuel storage for convenient loading.

2

The Water Jacket Heats

A water jacket surrounds the firebox. Heat from the fire raises the temperature of the water surrounding it.

3

Hot Water Travels Indoors

A circulation pump moves the heated water through insulated underground supply and return pipes.

4

Heat Transfers to Your System

A water-to-air or water-to-water heat exchanger transfers the heat to your furnace, baseboard or radiant system.

Familiar Indoor Comfort

Works With Your Existing Heating System

After the insulated underground pipes enter your furnace room, a heat exchanger is installed. Depending on your system, this may be a water-to-air exchanger for a forced-air furnace or a water-to-water exchanger for baseboard and radiant in-floor heat.

Because the system is thermostatically controlled, your home or business maintains the same even, comfortable heat you expect from a conventional heating system.

Virtually any existing heating system can be adapted to work with a Crown Royal Stove.

Heat More Than One Building

One properly sized outdoor furnace can provide heat to multiple buildings. A home, garage, workshop, barn, greenhouse or commercial building can all be connected using insulated underground lines and the appropriate heat exchangers.

Your system must be designed within the BTU capacity of the Crown Royal Stove model you select.

Enjoy Domestic Hot Water

With the installation of a brazed-plate heat exchanger, your Crown Royal Stove can also heat domestic hot water. This gives your household a dependable supply of hot water while the stove is operating.

The same system can also provide year-round heat for a pool or hot tub when properly designed.

What Can a Crown Royal Stove Heat?

Residential Homes

Heat your primary residence using forced air, baseboard or radiant in-floor systems.

Garages & Workshops

Keep work areas comfortable without installing a separate primary heating appliance.

Barns & Agriculture

Provide heat for barns, agricultural buildings and greenhouses.

Commercial Buildings

Support shops, offices and other properly sized commercial applications.

Domestic Hot Water

Use a brazed-plate heat exchanger to transfer heat to your water-heating system.

Radiant In-Floor Heat

Circulate warm water through radiant tubing for comfortable, even floor heat.

Potential Heating Savings

Rely Less on Conventional Fuel Sources

Switching to a Crown Royal Stove can reduce your dependence on electricity, propane, natural gas or fuel oil. Your actual savings will depend on your current heating costs, fuel availability, building efficiency and how the system is installed and operated.
