Page 4: General Specifications, Furnace And Components
The central solid fuel outdoor furnace provides the most viable solution to the on going prob- lem of homeowner utility dependence. In consideration of this fact, the Fire Chief OS2200 has been engineered to accommodate the heating requirements of the average sized home, even during winter’s coldest months. -
Page 5: Installation And Operation
Abnormally cold weather could reduce the burn time. The Fire Chief FCOS2200 is unlike gas or electric furnaces - a solid wood furnace can not be turned “off and on” to control the furnace temperature - once the fire is established, it has to burn, until it burns itself out. -
Page 6: Hot Air Duct And Cold Air Return
The Fire Chief OS2200 MUST be installed with a cold air return system. The system must be a minimum of 12” to readily transfer the cold air back to the furnace. If desired , a cold air filter box may be constructed, minimum opening 226 square inches. - Page 7 If you use black plastic corrugated culvert pipe underground, it should not exceed 25’ and by using this type of pipe, you run the risk of reducing the furnace’s efficiency and air flow. DO NOT USE FLEX DUCT INSIDE PVC OR CULVERT PIPE. A basement window is an excellent location for running the hot air duct vent as well as the vent for the cold air return.

Page 8: Types Of Installation
Types of inst Types of inst Types of installa alla alla allation tion tion tion Types of inst Types of inst alla tion Central Duct Connections: Installation should be done by a qualified professional. Maximum run 40’ - a duct run in excess of 40’ will greatly restrict the air flow / heat output and is not recommended. When connecting the OS2200 to a central duct system, avoid 90 degree elbows - as with any furnace, the more turns and branches in the ducting the less air flow delivery. -
Page 9: Installation: Downdraft Furnace Or With No Duct Work
10” In a mobile home, with a down-draft furnace, Hot Air do not attach the hot air duct from the OS2200 Fire Chief Downdraft to the hot air plenum doing so will cause the Furnace OS2200 heat to rise through the central furnace instead of going through the duct work. -
Page 10: Fuel Recommendations
Ash Removal: A pair of heat resistant gloves are recommended Remove the ashes from your Fire Chief OS2200 at least once a day - or as often as necessary to ensure that the ashes do not accumulate to the height of the grates. If ash build-up occurs at grate level, it will cause premature failure of the grates, voiding the warranty on the grates. -
