Outdoor Furnace Installation Tips

Introduction

Outdoor wood boilers are a great way to heat your home and save money on your energy bills. They can also add character and charm to your backyard. When installing an outdoor furnace, it’s important that you follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions as well as some additional tips we will touch on below.

Installation for Outdoor Furnaces

Outdoor furnaces are not complicated to install. If you have the right equipment and enough experience, you can easily install an outdoor furnace in your home. There are many factors to consider when installing an outdoor furnace, but they are all doable if you know what you’re doing. Once installed, your new outdoor furnace will provide safe and reliable heat for years to come!

Outdoor furnaces are easy to install, especially if you have the proper tools on hand. In most cases, installing an outdoor furnace requires only a few hours of work from two people—one person who knows how to use tools and another who can supervise them as they work. Most homeowners will find that their project goes smoothly once all materials are gathered together and laid out on the ground (i.e., pipes etc.).

How to Install an Outdoor Wood Burning Furnace

Make sure to install the furnace on a level surface.
The furnace should be installed 18 inches off of the ground, with at least 2 feet between it and any building structure or structure that could cause heat and smoke damage to a home or other buildings nearby.
Make sure to keep your outdoor wood burning furnace away from septic tanks, as well as any gas lines in your yard or garden area!

Start by choosing your floor type.

When choosing your floor type, keep in mind that a concrete pad is more expensive and durable than gravel and stone. The cost of installing a concrete pad will vary depending on factors like the size of your outdoor furnace and how much material you need to purchase.
Keep in mind that this is an outdoor installation! While you may be tempted to save money by using a cheaper alternative such as gravel or stone, it’s important to remember that these materials can deteriorate after prolonged exposure to water or UV light. Concrete won’t suffer from those problems as easily (if at all).

Your choices are a concrete pad, or a gravel and stone pad.

After you decide where you want to install your outdoor furnace, the first thing to consider is whether or not you will be using a concrete pad. Concrete pads can be purchased at any hardware store and they are very affordable and easy to install. If you choose this option, just have the concrete delivered and then have it poured wherever you want the outdoor furnace placed.

Concrete pads are more heavy duty than gravel or stone pads so it is important that they are placed in an area that can support their weight (such as under a deck). The downside of using a concrete pad is that they will be more expensive than gravel or stone pads which means there will be less money left over for other parts of your project such as firewood storage racks and chairs!

We recommend installing your outdoor furnace 18 inches off of the ground, on a level surface.

You will want to make sure that the surface you install your furnace on is clean and free from debris and other materials that may be flammable. Oftentimes, this can be achieved by simply sweeping up any loose particles with a broom or leaf blower before installing the furnace.
You should also ensure that the surface where you intend to install your new outdoor furnace is strong enough to support it. For example, if you plan on setting up your new unit in a basement or garage area where there are concrete floors, these surfaces are strong enough for this purpose. However, if you intend on placing an outdoor furnace in an area with wooden flooring or carpeting (such as inside of a house), then we advise using caution when installing it because these types of floors may not be strong enough to bear its weight without risking damage over time due to cracking or breaking under excessive pressure applied while walking around inside them (which could result in injury).

If you are using a gravel and stone pad, you will need to install it with some type of barrier to keep the gravel from sinking into the ground.

If you are using a gravel and stone pad, you will need to install it with some type of barrier to keep the gravel from sinking into the ground. You can use any of these options:

Gravel over rocks
Cement over gravel
Asphalt over concrete

Outdoor Furnace Placement

The outdoor furnace needs to be placed away from structures and trees. You want to ensure that there is enough room for the outdoor furnace, pipes, and any other materials that will be used in its installation.
It should be kept on a level surface. You don’t want to place it in an area where it would slide around or tip over easily when you install it.
There should be no septic tanks or water sources nearby so that you don’t run into any issues later on down the road when it comes time for regular maintenance checks on your gas lines as well as any other parts/supplies needed for proper operation of your new system

Avoid placing it directly under a septic tank.

You should avoid placing an outdoor furnace near a septic tank. This is because it is not safe for your septic tank to come into contact with water. According to the U.S Environmental Protection Agency, “septic systems are not designed to handle this type of exposure.” When you install an outdoor furnace near your septic tank, you run the risk of damaging it and causing sewage to leak into the ground and contaminate local waterways such as streams and rivers.

Following these professional tips can help ensure that you get a high-quality installation on your new outdoor furnace!

Relocate any plants that are above your desired location.

If you’re installing an outdoor furnace, consider relocating any plants that are above the desired location. Some plants will not survive relocation, but others may grow back or grow back in time.

You can expect to see the following types of results when relocating plants:

Plants that don’t grow back at all
Plants that won’t grow back for a while (such as trees)
Plants that will need to be replanted

While the grass may grow back up through the gravel, in time it will die out.

When you install a gravel and stone pad, it is important to ensure that the pad is at least 6” thick. If it is less than 6” thick there is a chance that the stone will sink into the ground over time. The grass may grow back up through the gravel, in time it will die out.

Choosing a site for your furnace can be challenging as well because of location issues like trees and buildings nearby which could interfere with airflow from your boiler or cause an eyesore on your property. Using these tips can help you make sure that when choosing an outdoor furnace installation site, any potential problems are avoided before they become too big for comfort!

Avoid placing the outdoor wood boiler too close to the house or other buildings.

The outdoor furnace should have at least 2 feet of space between itself and any buildings or structures. When you are deciding where to put the outdoor wood boiler, it’s important to make sure that there is a distance of at least 10 feet between it and any walls of your house. The same holds true for other buildings, such as garages and sheds.

The furnace also needs to be 5 feet away from any other structures such as decks, porches, carports or patios.

The outdoor furnace should have at least 2 feet of space between itself and any buildings or structures.

The outdoor furnace should be placed at least 2 feet away from any buildings or structures. The same applies to trees, fences and other structures that may surround the structure.

The information above pertains to most outdoor furnaces, not just Central Boiler outdoor wood boilers.
