• When making plans to install your outdoor furnace, the first thing you need to think about is the placement of the unit. Although you can install the SF3042 up to 30 feet from the home, a much shorter distance is recommended to provide better airflow. -

Page 4: General Information
The SF3042 is a wood and coal burning furnace – it cannot be turned “off and on” to control the furnace temperature like gas or electric furnaces. Once the fire is established, it has to burn until it burns itself out. -
Page 5: Furnace Clearances And Operation
Guy wire brackets are attached to the sides of the SF3042. A heavy gauge of stainless steel wire can be purchased from your dealer or at a local hardware store to use as guy wire to help support your chimney. Attach the appropriate chimney pipe lengths to the adaptor plate finishing with a chimney cap. -
Page 6: Bypass Damper Operation
The bypass damper has several purposes: starting the fire, improving the efficiency, and cleaning the chimney. When starting a fire in the SF3042, you must pull the rod out, for a stronger draft during ignition. Once the fire has started, close the bypass, which allows the secondary combustion chamber to engage, increasing the furnace’s operation to peak efficiency. -
Page 7: Installing The Anchor Plate
INSTALLING THE ANCHOR PLATE: Note: Check with your dealer for the anchor plate that connects to Class A HT2100 chimney. IMPORTANT: BEFORE YOU FOLLOW THE NEXT STEPS, ENSURE THE ANCHOR YOU PURCHASE MATCHES YOUR CHIMNEY PIPE, AS CHIMNEY PIPE IS NOT GENERIC AND WILL NOT INTERCHANGE. -
Page 8: Wood Storage And Care
• Always consult local building inspectors for codes concerning the installation of your furnace. • Always have access to a backup generator, 2000 watt minimum. • Use Class “A” HT 2100 All Fuel 6 Inch Chimney for your Shelter Furnace. • Never use galvanized pipe in your flue connection. -
Page 9: Installing Electrical Components
• Never burn plastics, wood products containing glue, paraffin or wood that has been treated with chemical preservatives in your Shelter Furnace. The combustion of these substances may release harmful, toxic gases. • NEVER UNPLUG THE FURNACE FROM THE POWER SOURCE. THIS WILL CAUSE THE FURNACE TO OVERHEAT. If it is too warm in the house, lower the temperature on the thermostat;... -

10 inches round or 79 square inches. The Shelter Furnace must be installed with a cold air return system. The system must be a minimum of 12 inches to readily transfer the cold air back to the furnace. If desired, a cold air filter box may be constructed with a minimum opening of 225 square inches. -

250 degree rated insulated flexible hot air duct, to the central duct system for the home. Connect the duct with a 45° elbow or at an angle so the hot air from the SF3042 is delivered down stream. This will ensure proper airflow into the duct system. Avoid delivering the hot air through the air conditioning coil, as this will cause an obstruction, reducing the amount of heat output. -
Page 13: Mobile Home Down Draft Furnace Connection
In a mobile home with a down draft furnace, do not attach the hot air duct from the SF3042 to the hot air plenum, doing so will cause the heat to rise through the central furnace instead of going through the duct work. -

Finally, due to the wide variety of temperature ranges during the winter, you may experience periods when it is not necessary to fully load the fire chamber in order to maintain an overnight burn. Your Shelter Furnace will operate at the highest... -
Page 15: First Coal Fire
Fuel Recommendations: For the SF3042 model Shelter Furnace, a maximum log size of 28 inches is recommended. Heat resistant gloves are also recommended when loading the furnace. Only use dry, seasoned hardwoods in your Shelter Furnace rather than high resin woods such as pine. -
Page 16: Disposal Of Ashes
DISPOSAL OF ASHES: Remove the ashes from your Shelter Furnace at least once a day, or as often as necessary to ensure the ashes do not build up to the height of the grate system. If ash builds up to the level of the grate, it will cause premature failure of the grates, which voids the warranty on the grate system. -
Page 17: Draft Blower And Spin Draft
Draft Blower and Spin Draft: The front draft blower plays an important role in the operation of your Shelter Furnace. When the wall thermostat calls for heat, the draft motor turns on and supplies fresh air into the firebox producing a hotter fire, which in turns provides more heat in the heat chamber. The heat is then sent through the duct system throughout your home. -
