THE FORCED-AIR I (ONE)
MULTI-FUEL FURNACE, either STAND-ALONE or DUCT CONNECT
CORN & WOOD PELLET MULTIFUEL FURNACE (STOVE)has 70,000 to 107,000 BTU/HR will heat up to 3,500 to 4000 SQ FT
WORRIED ABOUT CORN PRICES RISING...DON'T JUST BUY A MULTI-FUELED UNIT AND BURN ANOTHER FUEL
MUTIFUEL FURNACE will reduce your dependance on more Expensive Fuel
The FORCED-AIR I (ONE) Multifuel Furnace has replaced several furnaces such as the Forced-Air II (Two), Forced-Air III (three). and Forced-Air IV (Four) as the two, three, and four are no longer made. The Forced-Air I-A (One A) added a secondary
heat exchanger and a High Heat Auger raising the BTU output from 70,000 to 107,000
BTU/Hr. With two heat exchangers (primary and secondary) with the high-heat
auger it was re-named the Forced-Air I (One) and will heat up to 3,500- 4000 Sq
Ft. It is multi-fueled and burns corn and/or
wood pellets. A special rear-mounted
Flue Exhaust Motor that creates a negative draft pressure (vacuum), with a flue
exhaust pipe increased from 3” to 4” normally required for runs over 12 feet
long (chimney exhaust). A Rear wall
Fresh Air Kit is recommended for oxygen-rich air and to avoid room-air vacuum.
It has 115 lbs. Hopper Bin. The High-Heat
Auger has 2.0 RPM. The Low Heat Auger 1.3
RPM is also sent. Auger OFF Timer installed and set at factory
setting of 4 sec. off, no need to adjust. Hot-Air Discharge Duct Take-off can be a 12 or14-inch
round included with a 14-inch square if requested. The Cold-Air Return Duct Take-off
is 14 x 20 inches containing a Filter Rack.
Our Pellet Furnace has Multiple Run Speeds controlled on the dash. Booster Fans from 1000 to1350 CFM are
included and can be controlled by (1) on/off switch, (2) hooked into furnace
switch, or (3) a separate thermostat. Whereas
the Forced-Air I (One) Pellet Furnace is controlled by dash mounted dials for heat
range and room air blower speeds. A
rheostat controls the Flue Exhaust speed. There is a 3 Year Warranty.
You can install this new furnace as either a
stand-alone or alongside your existing furnace.
If you keep your existing furnace running in parallel to your new
furnace, you will have to install backdraft dampers in both furnaces to avoid
back flow when one is running and the second one is not. You could avoid backdraft dampers if you
mount the new furnace in back of your old furnace and run the old furnace
blower fan instead of purchasing a booster fan for the new furnace.
Also a POWER OUTAGE Module is available for this unit for $195 Model I (One) or $495 Model II (Two) Continuous Switching back/forth. By request only there is a 5th Model V (Five) at 150,000 BTU/Hr for $2300 more. It is still wise to buy one now and get it delivered before the cold fall months arrive. Get your corn furnace (stove) purchased now. Always buy from Dealers, not from individuals.
This item is NEW inside a carton strapped to a skid and carries a 3 Year Warranty.

WARRANTYThere is a 3 YEAR WARRANTY on the heat exchanger, combustion chamber, fire box, door, etc., and 1 YEAR WARRANTY on electronics. Re-sale by individuals or un-authorized dealers can not offer a valid warranty. Be careful from whom you buy. We are a Dealer specializing in corn stoves and can help you through your installation as well as and trouble shooting if necessary. Be careful as others do not have the capability to do that.
FLOOR LOCATION, DUCT LAYOUT, FLUE EXHAUST LAYOUT
There are two alternative layouts: (1) Short Hot-Air, Cold-air Duct runs, and long Flue Exhaust Pipe runs, long Combustion (Fresh) Air Pipe runs; (2) Long Duct runs and short Pipe runs. We recommend (1) short Duct runs and long Pipe runs.
SHORT DUCT RUNS: We recommend maximizing your room-air flow and having the shortest ductwork path possible with the least amount of turns (preferably none) using 14 inch square ductwork. Don't worry about how long your Flue Exhaust Pipe run or Fresh-Air Pipe run will be, as that will be the least of your problems. Locate your Multifuel Furnace right along side your existing furnace facing in the same direction and directly underneath the main air discharge trunk line that your existing furnace plenum rises up to meet. You then use a 14 inch square plenum for your Hot-air discharge from the top of your Multifuel Furnace, go straight up and mate into the same trunk line. Your Cold-air return on your Multifuel Furnace should have a 24 x 14 x 20 inch take-off from the bottom rear and from there you run either horizontally or vertically by tapping into either side of a 14 X 20 inch Tee located on the side or back. The Cold Air Tee is built universal and can tap either side left or right or at the rear, and go up either vertically or horizontally. Vertical: we sell a 14 X 20 vertical-drop cold air plenum with a right-angle turn at the bottom. Horizontal: You can simply go across the floor in a 14 X 20 inch rectangular plenum to mate into your existing old furnace. When you step back and face the front of the furnaces, you should see two vertical plenums going straight up merging into your Hot-air discharge trunk line. When you go to the rear of the furnaces you should see a horizontal 14 X 20 inch rectangular plenum lying on the floor (or close to it) connecting the two Cold-air return take-offs at the bottoms of each furnace. Note you will need back-draft dampers for both furnaces.
LONG PIPE RUNS: It does not matter how far you run your Flue Exhaust Pipe as you can always use 4 inch Stainless Steel FLEX pipe to run any distance and if your need a flue exhaust booster fan (probably not), then you can install one. Same comment for a Fresh-Air Pipe, run a 3 inch Aluminum pipe whatever distance you need.
BACK-DRAFT DAMPER SUGGESTIONSYou will need both a Duct Take-off and a Duct Back-Draft Damper for your installation. You will need a back-draft damper installed in BOTH this multi-fuel Furnace and your Old furnace. We sell either a Round 12" Dia., 14" Square, or 14" Round Back-Damper for this unit and your Old Furnace we have Aluminum Drop Leaves you can use as back-draft damper or we can sell 16 x 16 inch or 18 x18 Inch back draft dampers. Unless the customer is a technical handyman, he (she) may want to hire a licensed certified HVAC mechanical contractor to install them. You can also hire a sheet metal fabricator to do it. Note: unless you insert back draft dampers for each furnace your system will not work correctly. The damper blades can be gravity drop and are usually made out of light-weight aluminum .025" thick. You can buy all three (3) back-draft dampers from us as they are on the website and they are hard to make ( must use light-weight aluminum .025" thick). Do not use galvanized metal for damper blades as they weigh too much and will starve your horse power output when the furnace turns on, the air blows up through the flaps. Buy the back-draft dampers from us and you will get the right thing. If you are having difficulty making or finding a back-draft damper, then call us.
We recommend using 14 inch square plenum and ductwork because it gives you the largest cross section area of 196 Square inches with the least amount of air-flow resistance. 12 inch round is the least attractive at 113 square inches, and 14 inch Round is 154 sq inches. We sell 14 inch plenum and duct in our website.
OPERATING AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSDo NOT get rid of your Old Furnace but keep it as an emergency back-up. Use our Multi-fuel Unit as your primary furnace set to produce heat at 5 Degrees higher than your Old Furnace. The Multi-fuel Unit does not need a thermostat to run effectively. You do NOT need a thermostat to run the Multi-fuel Unit. Do not use one thermostat for both furnaces. If you elect (as an option) to run the Multi-fuel unit on a thermostat, then it must have it's own thermostat. Those electing a Thermostat Option should first run their Multi-Fuel Furnace without it for 1-4 weeks so they become familiar with the multi-fuel furnace on a stand-alone-basis.
Also installation for Exhaust Flue Vent Kit (not provided) and startup are available. Exhaust Flue Vent Kit can be purchased separately at your request and/or check our website. We sell 4 inch Stainless Steel FLEX extensions in any length that can connect to the rear of the Multifuel furnace and run anywhere either inside or out. Up-The-Basement-Wall Extension of 6 feet with another 90 turn is available. Included is a Fresh Air Intake Kit which is recommended and can be used to avoid room air vacuum as well as draw oxygen-rich air in from the outside.
Thermostatic customers nervous about premature furnace shut down at slower speeds, could run a small percentage of wood pellets mixed with corn. We recommend customers experiment with burning a mixture of wood pellets and corn...they may wish to switch exclusively to wood pellets later if the price of corn skyrockets. We also recommend customers experiment burning soybeans and wheat. Crushed Oyster Shell sprinkled in the hopper bin facilitates a cleaner burning and helps avoid any Clinker formation. However the high technology agitator design, extremely rugged, helps eliminate clinkers also. The unit is NEW in a box/crated pallet.
