Wood heating handbook. Great Lakes Regional Biomass Energy Program

Technical Report · Tue Jan 01 04:00:00 EST 1985

OSTI ID:5914517

After reviews of the early history of the use of wood in house heating in the US, this manual has chapters on wood combustion, wood combustion equipment, sizing of wood combustion units, sizing and choosing a chimney, chimney connectors, installation of woodstove heating systems, installation of central wood heating systems, and operation and maintenance practices. Some of this information and recommendations may be hard to find in other information sources. Considerable emphasis is given to safety and fire prevention considerations. (LTN)
