Actually, the one I am looking at is the CL 5036 (see brochure.) It appears to be a bit smaller than the E Classic 2300 and a bit less efficient, but has the advantage of not requiring seasoned firewood. I have about 90 acres of woodland and have an ample supply of dead wood, blowdowns, beaver cuttings etc. so that I will not need much seasoned hardwood. Also, I am downsizing from a 2700 square foot house to a 1400 square foot house so will not need the extra capacity.

If you were to think of keeping the mess outside look at outside furnaces.......
I am going to heat mine with one of these..........www.outsidewoodheater.com

did I say anything about selling them?? just that I was going to heat my shop with one. 30x40x12 and been heating my 1800 sq ft house with one. Now if I was going to try and sell this on here I would post in classifieds. I was just listing a url like others have........been around boards too long to do the "self promotion stuff" If this is not acceptable moderator delete my post.
It works....I have used them for 22 years

They were popular in northern Maine (where my folks live) in the early 2000s and not too many people use them anymore.
They are ok if you are on a 100 acre spread and your neighbors are far away, but otherwise then tend to smoother the fire too much and smoke out the area.
They seem to be wood hungry too. My brother's wife's uncle has one on their dairy farm and they burn 100-120 cords a winter through it. It does make heat for the milking shed, the machine shed, their home/garage and a swimming pool though.

Outdoor furnaces got a bad rep during that era as the furnaces usually rusted out within 10 years and required replacement. The newly designed versions now come with a 20 year warantee and are becoming popular again here in rural Ontario. Better insulation and redesigned fireboxes need only a twice daily fueling during winter and, according to friends who have them use very little more fuel than an interior stove while having the ability to heat not only the house but one or more outbuildings.. Smoke also has been reduced unless you are burning real junk.

Yeah, I have some friends from northern Ontario who hunt with us occasionally. They drool over the trees we have here. Birch and soft maple are considered prime to them as they burn mostly softwood and poplar.
The junk I was speaking about is used lumber, pallets, brush and such which I have seen some people use.
