The Crown Royal Stove is located outside (normally 20 to 300 feet away) next to your fuel storage for convenience. The water jacket surrounds the firebox, heating the water which is circulated to your home or/and other buildings through insulated underground pipes. After the underground pipes are run into your furnace room a heat exchanger is plumbed, either water-to-water or water-to-air, and transfers heat to your forced air furnace, baseboard or radiant in-floor heating system. These systems are thermostatically controlled so you get an even heat throughout your home or business.
NO. All Crown Royal Stoves are non pressurized systems that are open to the atmosphere.
Pricing varies depending on model, shipping and installation parts. Models start at $10,099.
Pricing varies depending on your wants and needs. Simple installs that are close to your home start at $1,200.

Depending on the square footage of the building you are heating will depend on the amount of wood used. An average sized home will take approximately 6-10 cords of wood per heating season.
Depending on the Crown Royal Stoves model purchased, you will be able to use 24″-36″ lengths of wood.
NO. Splitting your wood primarily helps increase the dry time and dry wood produces more BTUs per pound. We do not recommend using green or wet wood in your unit.
Crown Royal Stoves Pristine Gasification Series produce very little ash, as they have an combustion efficiency of 94%. It is recommended that your ash be placed in a metal container to cool before proper disposal. Many customers use some ash from their outdoor wood furnace in their garden, flower bed, or on their lawn.
Installation parts used for a first time installation are insulated underground pipe, heat exchangers, pumps, pex piping, and plumbing fittings.
YES. Although we do recommend using a cloverleaf rain cap to increase the longevity of your outdoor furnace. When your outdoor furnace is not in use we suggest on placing a bucket over the chimney.
NO. If you go through a heat exchanger and have a backup system in place you can leave the pump run. If you are going to be gone for a long period of time, it is recommended to use anti-freeze or completely drain your system.
All Crown Royal Stoves are a non pressurized, air tight, fan forced combustion system which allows the system to not over heat. In fact, many of our outdoor wood furnace / coal boiler owners use their unit in late spring or early fall.
YES. You should always have some sort of back-up heat in place.
To ensure the maximum efficiency and longevity of Crown Royal Stoves outdoor wood furnaces and outdoor coal boilers, treating your system with Control Chemical will prevent corrosion and scale buildup.
