The hydronic systems distribute wood heat to homes, cottages, businesses, and farms via water circulation and also supply domestic hot water.

The product portfolio consists of two distinct product lines: (1) G-Class downdraft gasification furnaces available in three sizes (G2, G2 Plus, G3) featuring advanced combustion technology with up to 86% efficiency and EPA certification; and (2) Standard Updraft furnaces available in four sizes (RG-5, MD-9, LG-15, COM-32) offering simpler operation for burning any dry wood type.
