How much do you value your furnace?

Lampmfg. Does your product heat water too? I might convert a portion of my ductwork to hold a hot water coil? Then I could fireup outside, We are allergic to wood smoke and ashes? Plus the advantge of dom hot water heater? I looked at your website for a bit..

We offer an optional H2O coil $200 that works great for heating DHW. In fact my dad's electric bill actually goes down in the winter because of it even though it's also our backup heat source.

Thanks,

Another question...

Do you make a 12 volt model for us "Off-Gridders"

I'm sorry but we don't have a 12 volt model. We sure get that question a lot and it actually surprises me because I had no idea how many people where off the grind.

Will the furnace heat during power outages?
Yes, when the power stops the blower and computer both shut down. The computer closes to its pilot air opening, causing the fire to slowly die down. You should open all heat ducts, remove the air filters, and rely on gravity air flow then. The front lift off hood can also be removed easily to allow additional heat to escape from the air jacket during power outages. A back-up generator or a 24 volt ac source would be handy.

Thanks,

I love a good sales pitch, doesn't matter what the raw material cost is, sell it on fear or need. Okay the brother had a $10,000.00 snow machine but how much was the raw cost to build that compared to the heater?????????? Lets not forget without the snow machine no emergency vehicles etc... could get to the home if needed. Plus probably need the snow machine to make a path to get to the wood shed to keep the heater going?

Not knocking your heater infact I've been checking it out, I just find sales gimics amusing

I have seen my dad SLOWLY perfecting the Kuuma for the past 30 years and when we finally had it tested in 2010 the results were and are the best on the market that we are aware of.

Our biggest problem (besides my dad not ever turning on a computer) is to get the word out there so I'll try anything as you can see.

We have always been known for our sauna stoves on the "Iron Range" but needed to have the furnace nearly perfect before making the big marketing push unlike a lot of our competitors.

Are there any TBN members who have installed this stove? What has been your experience? I am considering one, but need to know how it has worked for others.
