JUCA Free-Standing Wood/Gas Furnaces Model B-3B and other sizes of JUCA Free-Standing Stoves Our most popular free-standing model has proven its ability to completely heat many thousands of homes all across the U.S. for over 20 years. Combining the performance of a wood-burning furnace, the installation convenience and economy of a woodstove, and the fire-viewing of a fireplace, the B-3B is the ultimate in wood-burners. The blower-driven warm air that comes out the adjustable side outlets and/or the duct system seems like it was produced by a gas furnace ... you can't tell that it wasn't! Safe, comfortable, clean air to evenly heat your house. No cold drafts along the floor. Users often remark that then comfort level with a JUCA is far better than that with gas or oil heat, and they save money, too. With appropriate (optional) blowers, B-3Bs are heating spaces ranging from 400 square feet to over 5,000 square feet in all climate areas of the U.S.A. Clearly the most versatile wood burner on the market. And the best performing. So effective that JUCA GUARANTEES that a B-3B can fully heat ANY single-family house in the U.S.A! And very clean burning, too. Reasonably priced, at about $1,900! For a better view of the JUCA B-3B Gas Burning When the JUCA B-3B is used with a 24" set of gas logs, the appearance is exactly that while using wood. The enjoyment of watching the flickering fire through the glass door is wonderful. While this is happening, the 90,000 Btu/hr burner is creating enough heat to be heating the whole house! A variety of log styles are even available, from Mountain Oak to Twisted Cypress to White Birch. Various accessory control systems can use a wall thermostat to cycle the burner on and off like a gas furnace or be controlled by a handheld remote control. The automatic operation of the fire cycling on and off is a popular option so that the JUCA fireplace acts as the house's central heating system. It's great to have this mode of operation while gas prices are reasonable while still having the capability of heating the whole house with wood if something silly happens again in the Mideast. The best of both worlds!

The rotating free-standing JUCA Model B-3B at the left shows a number of its features. On the front is the large door that is nearly all glass , with the slide draft control underneath. On the back is the (Standard) blower near the bottom, the 8" by 16" warm air outlet (to connect into ducts) near the top, and the automatic blower control assembly to the right. Less obvious are the adjustable warm air outlets on the sides, under the overhangs about halfway up.

Whereever a JUCA is installed, you get remarkably even, comfortable, long-lasting heat everywhere in your house. You eliminate your regular heating fuel bill. It feels great to carry wood to your JUCA when you know that each armload saves you about $3.00 (or more) on your heating bill. There are no cold drafts, even at floor level. The built-in computer-assisted-design heat exchanger is so efficient that you get more usable heat with less wood burned.

In recent years, gas and oil prices have been tolerable. As long as this situation continues, a set of gas logs may be used inside the JUCA. Then, you get all the performance benefits of the JUCA heat exchangers. You get the coziness of a woodstove. You get the ambiance of watching a fire. (It just doesn't get any better than that!) And when, some day in the future gas or oil shortages occur, you could convert it to using wood in just a couple of minutes.

The units have two adjustable side warm air outlets. All but the K-3 also have a large outlet that can feed a house central heating duct system to send heat to the entire house. Standard color- Matte black, with many optional colors available for the top half; Castable firebrick bottom; The blower turns on and off automatically.
