Rock bin heat storage for wood furnace

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5722438
A rock storage bin was built to store and regulate heat from a wood burning furnace. The furnace was fired to keep a constant output of 140/sup 0/ during times of operation. The furnace output was routed to the house when heat was needed and other times into the rock storage bin. Once the furnace output dropped below 70/sup 0/ the house demand was provided from the stored heat until depleted. (LEW)
