Gravity feed systems

  • Active since 1995, Hearth.com is THE place on the internet for free information and advice about wood stoves, pellet stoves and other energy saving equipment.

    We strive to provide opinions, articles, discussions and history related to Hearth Products and in a more general sense, energy issues.

    We promote the EFFICIENT, RESPONSIBLE, CLEAN and SAFE use of all fuels, whether renewable or fossil.
As newlyweds, we rented a house that was heated by a natural gas furnace that did not have a blower, gravity fed air circulation. Some folks called them octopus furnaces. Quite large with 6" piping sprouting out in all directions, no main trunk line.
