For a better view of the JUCA B-3B
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!
Efficient and handsome, the JUCA B-3B will blend in with any decor. The versatility of being able to install it upstairs, downstairs, in an attached garage, or in a cellar; of using it as a room heater, as an add-on furnace, or as a separate furnace; of being able to enjoy the fire through a large glass door (except in model B-3A); make it the best product on the market. Since it has the capability of heating even very large houses, and since the firebox is large enough to take giant pieces of wood, you get long, even, constant heating just like with a regular furnace. You just don't have to pay for the gas, oil, or electricity!

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 $2.00 (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.
