The E180 puts out 180,000 BTU/hr and can cover up to 5,000 square feet. A third-party testing lab evaluated it at more than 80% efficiency.
The E180 can be utilized with any heating system (water-based, steam, forced-air). The Wood Gun line has been tested and proven for more than 35 years! It was designed to lessen the work involved that is found in a typical wood stove…

The firebox of every Wood Gun™ can accommodate wood sizes varying from uncut wood to complete rounds of 10″. Generally, the huge firebox requires only loading 2-3 times every day. The Wood Gun™ will handle wood of relatively high moisture content, as high as 35% moisture, freeing you from curing a 12–18-month supply of wood (30% moisture or less is preferred). Unlike European-style gasifiers, the Wood Gun excels on full rounds.
Weekly cleaning allows for optimal performance. The accessible front and rear inspection doors and the included ash rake and scoop make cleaning quick and practical.

Domestic Coil
This Domestic Coil features a 100° F rise at 5 gallons per minute, 50° water inlet temperature, and 65 PSI water pressure. It is threaded into a 4 IN NPT threaded fitting provided on the boiler for this purpose.
Smoke Exhaust Hood
The Smoke Exhaust Hood mounts over the loading door, capturing any smoke that may escape during the fuel-loading process. This smoke is then vented directly to the outside through a separate vent. When tolerance for smoke is low, the smoke exhaust hood is essential.Cycle Timer
This feature adds a timer that triggers the boiler to run for 10 minutes every 2 hours, even if there is no call for heat. This maintains an internal temperature above the kindling point, reducing the need to manually relight the unit during periods of low demand.Low Temperature Shutdown
If all the fuel has been consumed in your boiler, the Low Temperature Shutdown Feature will prevent the boiler from attempting to fire. This keeps the draft fan from running which would blow the remaining heat out through the flue.Oil/Propane/Natural Gas Backup
The Wood Gun wood boiler can be fitted with a backup fuel option. This requires a dedicated firing tube that must be built in during manufacturing.
The E100 is capable of producing 80,000 BTU/hr when running on oil, propane, or natural gas.
Automatic/Manual Switching
For #2 fuel oil, the oil backup can function in an automatic switch-over scenario, with fuel oil taking over when the boiler has exhausted its wood fuel. For other fuels, such as natural gas or propane, switch-over is manual only.
