“Installing a heating system is more than just buying a stove or furnace. Mainline provided an expert design that was right the first time and made sure that all the pieces were ready to go. In addition, they are wonderful to do business with. I am a customer for life!” Tom Koltiska, Licensed HVAC Journeyman; Bozrah, CT.
“I just wanted to take a moment to let your staff know how satisfied I am with my CL 6048 [outdoor furnace]. It is so much easier than my wood stove. It’s cleaner, my heat is consistent, plus even with my wood stove, we would still use $800 to $1,000 of oil. This year I used maybe 3 gallons of fuel oil. And my wood consumption is only 20% more. And I also received $150. tax credit and heat a 24’x24’ garage.”
Sincerely, Mike St. Godard
Why an Outdoor Wood Furnace?
By taking the fire outdoors, you get the warmth, comfort, and economic advantages of burning wood - without the mess, inconvenience, and dangers posed by indoor burning. In addition, an outdoor furnace can be adapted to any existing system. Since the fire is outdoors you eliminate the need to bring the wood inside which in turn, drastically reduces the labor of excess handling. This adds convenience and breadth to your heating solution.
Good news! The old issues with emissions and efficiencies of outdoor wood furnaces have been significantly reduced with the design advances in later models like the Central BoilerE-Classic. The experts at Mainline work to stay up to date on the latest regulations, so give us a call if you have any questions. We can tell you about the latest regulations and which models can be installed where.

Advantages of an Outdoor Wood Furnace
Remove the fire hazard from the home or building being heated - all burning takes place remotely, up to 500 feet away.
There is no indoor burning, indoor smoke, and no threat of a devastating chimney fire.
Eliminate negative effects that indoor burning can have on air quality, including dangerous buildup of carbon monoxide.
Eliminate costly chimney cleaning and upkeep
Large wood capacity makes the outdoor wood furnace a low maintenance alternative to continually stoking your fireplace or wood stove
Burn larger pieces of wood - up to 30 inches in diameter and 72 inches in length with no splitting
Dramatically reduces time spent preparing wood
Use soft or hard wood that is seasoned or unseasoned, including junk wood like pine and hemlock and scraps like roots, stumps and pallets.
Over a ten year period, you will save thousands and thousands of dollars in foreign oil.
Current owners of our furnaces report that they are using up to 25% to 50% less wood compared to
traditional heating alternatives or other brands of outdoor furnaces
Indoor wood stoves can be less efficient because heated indoor air used for combustion is sent
out the chimney, causing cold air to be drawn into the house to replace it
Also keep in mind:
An outdoor wood furnace can heat multiple buildings including homes, businesses, shops, sheds, barns and garages, plus walks and driveways.
They can provide hot water for domestic use, and even pools and hot tubs!
The hot water from an outdoor wood furnace can be used to heat baseboard, radiant in floor, and hot air furnaces. They easily adapt to any heating system.
