Our verdict

A wood furnace that connects to existing HVAC ductwork to heat a large home with twin blowers. It is very heavy, ships by freight and needs a proper flue and duct setup.

Overview

US Stove builds the Hot Blast HB1520 as a wood burning furnace that feeds an existing HVAC duct system. A cast iron door with a glass front, a built-in ash pan and a firebrick-lined chamber are part of the design.

The reason to buy is whole-house capacity from a wood fire using ducts you already have, with twin blowers pushing the heat. The limitations are size and installation: it is a large, heavy appliance and the listing gives no flue or clearance details.

Who it's for

Owners of larger homes with existing ducts and a plan for a flue get whole-house wood heat. Renters, small apartments or buyers who want a stove they can move themselves should choose something smaller.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Large heating coverage for big homes
  • Twin blowers move heat through ducts
  • Built-in ash pan for cleanout
  • Firebrick-lined combustion chamber
Cons
  • Very heavy, freight shipping required
  • Flue and clearance details not given
  • Heat output unit is garbled in the specs

Performance notes

Twin blowers push warmed air through the ductwork, so duct condition and layout decide how evenly the house heats. The firebrick lining holds heat in the combustion chamber, and the efficiency rating depends on dry wood and a proper burn. The open plenum is designed to connect the furnace to the ducts.
