JUCA 3-Glass-Sided Wood/Gas Fireplace Furnaces
Efficient and majestic, the B-3D will blend in with any decor.
The combination of the modern tapered shape over large glass
areas and the massiveness of personally planned stonework or brickwork
surrounding the lower part, makes an impressive statement
in the home. The versatility of being able to install it
upstairs or downstairs; of using it as a room heater, as an
add-on furnace, or as a separate furnace; of being able to
enjoy the fire from everywhere through three large glass
panels; make it the best product on the market. Since it
has the capability of heating even very large houses (since it
has a large duct connection outlet to be able to feed warm air
into the house's central heating duct system), 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! JUCA even
GUARANTEES
that the B-3D can
fully heat ANY single-family house in the U.S.A! (After all, the
B-3D has a rated output of 180,000 Btu/hr, more than most house
central furnaces) (But it can be used at very low heat outputs,too!)
All this, at the amazingly low price of
around $1,900!

Gas Burning
When the JUCA B-3D 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 walls is
wonderful. While this is happening, the 90,000 Btu/hr gos-log
burner (and the JUCA, of course!) 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 change only takes a minute or two. The
best of both worlds!
A slide draft control
under the door can adjust the fire.
Dozens of optional colors
are available for the top half
to liven up a room; however matte black is standard. Our
standard blower
is nice and powerful and is automatically
controlled by a
built in temperature probe. The
optional blowers
are even stronger (up to 3/4 hp), and one of them is
usually necessary when feeding central heating ducts to heat
a whole house.
Adjustable air outlets on both sides also
send warm air out into the room, down along the floor where
it does the most good. Our
glass door and glass side panels use high
temperature glass, but we also include
removeable metal inner safety panels
that slide into place when the unit is unattended (while you're
at work or asleep) to make sure large logs can't shift and
crash into the glass. We believe that JUCAs are the only
glass-doored wood burners with this extra safety feature.
Blower is 115 volt, and most are energy efficient.
Whereever a JUCA is installed, you get remarkably even,
comfortable, long-lasting heat everywhere in your room and house.
You can completely 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.
Model B-3D
The elegant B-3D fireplace can be the dominant
centerpiece of any family room or great room. This model is our
most popular Three-sided-glass model. Guests are ALWAYS
amazed that it is also heating the whole house!
The B-3D has similar performance (actually even better) than our
work horse B-3B, combined with the breathtaking appearance of
having glass on three sides for viewing the fire from everywhere
in the room. A true conversation starter for a conversation pit!
This beautiful free-standing unit has provision to be able to
feed warm air into the house warm air ducts,
just like nearly all other JUCA models.
Sometimes, owners arrange for the B-3D to be installed as a
"peninsula". This provides for a very simple way of
hiding the blower and the duct connection on the back of it.
Sometimes, owners arrange instead to have removable "privacy
screens" between the B-3D and the rear wall for the same
function.
MODEL B-3D IS
GUARANTEED TO HEAT YOUR HOUSE.
Model B-3C
An installed B-3C looks identical to a B-3D.
This model does
NOT include the lower half of the firepit as part of the unit,
which includes the firebrick lining of the firebox and several
heat baffles and air spaces beneath the firebox floor.
(This used to be a very popular approach, and a few contractors
still like this type unit because it allows them the flexibility to make
more unique
masonry lower portions of the final installation.
) In other words, the Model B-3C has an open bottom!
A B-3D has all that heat baffle and multiple air chamber stuff under
the firebox so that it can be installed over a
wooden sub-floor, where the B-3C Model does not include this
- since it has no bottom, it MUST be installed on a
totally fireproof masonry base/firepit.
MODEL B-3C IS
GUARANTEED TO HEAT YOUR HOUSE.
Models D-7 and D-3
These are different height versions of the B-3D (shorter and taller).
JUCA performance is so great, that the amazingly high ability
of the D-3 is pretty much irrelevant for any realistic house.
These models should be chosen for aesthetic, height considerations.
Models C-7 and C-3
These are different height versions of the B-3C (again shorter and
taller), again without a bottom. (See the description in the
B-3C description above).
Models B-3N and B-3JN
These are smaller versions of the three-sided-
glass B-3D, for locations with limited space but where you
still want to see the fire from all sides.
Special Custom Free-Standing Fireplaces. JUCA has also made
many specialized units for specific
applications. Four-sided-glass units allow looking clear
through it! Six-glass-sided and 8-glass-sided units have
been made; even an asymmetric 5-sided glass unit was built to match an
unusual room. Normally C and D units are free-standing,
but there are ways to install them to make them appear
built-in as peninsulas or islands.
Any of these units is available in any of
dozens of colors
with any of our 6 blowers and/or other custom features, at reasonable
prices and is usually shipped in a few weeks! WOW!!
