Considering installing a central wood furnace in Ontario Canada. Currently looking at the Fire Chief 700E indoor forced air model. Anyone aware of any restrictions against installing this in Canada?
 
Looked at the brochure. It does not say if the unit is CSA or UL approved. Without these approvals you will be unable to obtain house insurance! It is an old style wood burner in many ways in that it is not a Gasification unit. A Gasification unit will burn its own smoke, making for much more efficient and clean burning with clean creosote free chimneys.

This is a gasification furnace with some good reviews on this forum.
