SPECIFICATIONS:
Laboratory testing has proven that a central solid fuel furnace provides the most
viable solution to the on going problem of homeowner utility dependence. In consider-
ation of this fact, the Fire Chief has been engineered to accommodate the heating
requirements of the average sized home, even during winter’s coldest months. It is
constructed with high grade, heavy gauge steel and is continually welded to assure the
utmost in structural strength. In addition, the firebox is lined with firebrick to ensure
many years of energy efficient service. The design of the secondary combustion cham-
ber increases fuel efficiency by creating a “secondary burn” of smoke and wood gases
before they are vented up the chimney. The cast iron doors are custom fitted to
provide an air tight seal, greatly extending the burn time and insuring maximum effi-
ciency in fuel consumption. The heavy-gauge cast iron roller grate, designed for maxi-
mum heat transfer, aid in convenient ash removal and reduce maintenance.
For total comfort and convenience, we added a thermostatically controlled draft
and circulation blower system. These fully automatic components furnish rapid heat
disbursement to your home, minimizing recovery time when the thermostat demands
heat.
We have included all of these features as standard equipment, offering you the
most efficient, durable and affordable indoor wood and coal burning furnace possible.
FORCED HOT AIR CIRCULATION:
The plenum size of your Fire Chief must not be reduced to less than 12" (twelve
inches) round or 79 square inches and must provide a minimum of eighteen inches
between the top of your Fire Chief and the main trunk connection.
CLEARANCES:
The furnace must maintain the following clearances to combustibles: (all mea-
surements are in inches)
Heat Plenum 3"; Chimney Connector 18"; Front 36"; Rear 31"; Side 12"; Main
Furnace 12".
These are minimum clearances and should be strictly adhered to because should a
power outage occur, a dangerous level of heat accumulation may develop.
POWER FAILURE:
In case of power failure to keep your Fire Chief from over-heating and causing
damage to the electrical components, follow these steps:
1. Insure that the by-pass rod is pulled out allowing heat to go up chimney.
2. Close the spin damper control on the ash door.
3. Close the slide cover on the side of the draft motor (see page 10)
4. DO NOT add more fuel (wood) to the firebox.
There is no warranty on electrical components due to power failure.
NOTE: OVER-FIRING OR DELIBERATE ABUSE CAN EASILY BE DETERMINED
UPON INSPECTION AND WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
