(1)APPROVED FUELS
Seasoned Cord Wood:
Firewood that has been cut, split and dried for one year is best. Wood cut 24” to 32” long x 6” diameter is considered best. Longer lengths should be cut and larger diameter logs should be split. Load the woodpile toward the rear of the combustion chamber to allow airflow. Any type of stick woods; i.e. oak, birch, poplar, pine, etc. is very acceptable. Dry wood at 15 to 20% moisture content contains 6880 BTU’s per pound.

Briquettes:
Briquettes consist of wood scrap that has been highly densified (without adhesives) into small 3” diameter “logs” that are 3” to 8” long. Because of the high cost to set up a facility, briquettes are usually the by-product of a large wood products company (furniture, door and window trim, etc). They are usually sold in 70 lb paper bags, like dog food. Load the bag and contents into the combustion chamber, ignite the bag and shut the door.

Clean Scrap Wood:
This may be waste from construction sites, truss-manufacturing facilities, pallet recycling
facilities, etc. This fuel is usually very dry and bark free. Cut it to 24” to 32” lengths and stack it neatly in the combustion chamber. Because scrap wood fuel has a high surface to volume ratio and is dry, puffing may occur. Stack the wood tightly (to reduce exposed surface area) and use a primary air control brick.

FORGET EVERYTHING ABOUT OLD-FASHIONED WOOD* FIRING

The GARN® WHS (Wood-fired* Heating System) is the only heating system that can save you money and the environment by using: wood*, thermal solar, and off-peak electric - individually, or all-together. A complete, all-in-one renewable heating system for your home, business or school. Experience plenty of hot water and the option to connect other heat sources such as solar panels, pellets or a heat pump in the future. Your heating system is also green, carbon neutral; happily and totally sustainable. The GARN® WHS becomes the heart of a sustainable design.

The key to the GARN® WHS is thermal storage, meaning that the heat produced in the combustion chamber (where you add your wood*) is stored in a tank of water. With a GARN® WHS, a fire doesn’t have to be burning constantly. In between firings, the insulated thermal storage tank stores heat that is available whenever your system has a demand. The physical properties of water make it a tremendous energy storage and transfer medium. GARN® WHS thermal storage ranges in size from 980 gallons to 3,200 gallons, to suit a range of spaces. When your thermostat calls for heat, a pump draws hot water out of the thermal storage tank and into the heating system or heat emitters.

Imagine not using 14,500 gallons of fuel oil or 23,000 gallons of propane!

The GARN® WHS is easily integrated into existing buildings and/or new construction. The boiler can provide heat through a number of emitter systems — radiant floors, hot water baseboards, panel radiators or forced air furnaces. It can also provide heat for your domestic hot water.

The cutting-edge technology of a GARN® WHS is simple, efficient and durable. With patented, two-stage wood gasification technology, the GARN® system is virtually smokeless — which means clean air for everyone, and a comfortable experience for users. The steel fuel chamber is easy to load and the door is always cool to touch. The GARN® WHS is simple and is easy to operate and maintain because it’s made of just two moving parts — the door and blower. It is built to last multiples of decades.

Fifteen minutes, once a day** FILL AND IGNITE IN FIVE MINUTES and STILL 10 MINUTES TO SPARE. With our wood-fired* boilers, you can attend to the heating, without getting covered in dirt, in no more than fifteen minutes a day. In that 15 minutes you simply add new wood* and ignite the boiler. You can then leave your boiler room with a good conscience, content in the knowledge that you have not neglected your maintenance duties and the boiler is burning optimally. The GARN® WHS is the only system on the market able to offer this. No other wood-fired* boilers are as convenient to operate.

** Experience with 2000sqft insulated home with radiant floor heat in Upstate NY utilizing a GARN® WHS 2000. Exception maybe 20 coldest days requiring 2 firings. Contact us and we can provide estimated times between firings based on your own BTU usages.  

Gimme  a GARN® WHS?

how does this work for ME?

We represent GARN in 5 NEW States: Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee! This is very good news. We look forward to serving! Our pre-existing States include: New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland.

Gimme Heat provides all you need to purchase, design and implement your renewable system. As a web resource beyond us we offer 2 partner websites to support your GARN® thoughts and decision.
