FireStorm i723
Pre production of the i723 Fire Storm is complete. Initial bench testing and firmware are yielding excellent results with maintaining a variable rate of burn with an exceptionally tight set point temperature window.
Actual testing of the i723 is being conducted now on a real outdoor wood burning furnace application. We may release images, videos and various data as they become available.

Help reduce creosote and erratic control that yields unstable water temperatures while consuming more fuel and belching smoke. The i723 with dual processors, operating at 16 MHZ is the single control solution for your OWB.
The i723 FIRESTORM can be installed on most any outdoor wood/coal burning stove that has a modern forced draft blower motor.
Some features of interest:
- NEMA polycarbonate enclosure with metal mounting tabs. This water sealed design allows positioning anywhere suitable on your OWB.
- Loaded with safety features. Over temperature shut down, temperature sensor (missing, not-connected, broken wires, reverse polarity, wire shorted, wire shorted to ground) shutdown fault, 15 AMP on board system fuse, GFI compliant, and more.
- Pulse Width Modulated control of your force air draft motor. The i723 FIRESTORM drives the motor anywhere from 0 thru 100% of its rated maximum speed. This is the controlling mechanism for the fires rate of burn.
- Intelligent anti creosote utility. This feature is built in and monitors the rate of burn (0 thru 100%.) over time. On seasonal days when the outdoor temperatures are warmer and there is reduced heating demand on the OWB. If the average rate of burn is approximately less than 25% for 10 hour period of time. The i723 FIRESTORM will automatically reduce the set point temperature, which allows the water temperature to drop. Afterwards the set point returns to the users setting. This temporary drop allows a single cycle of higher intensity burn, which helps reduce the formation of creosote. You can think of this as going to the dentist for your stove.
- Fire out monitor with one button reset. The i723 will detect a rapid or progressive degrade of water temperature from that of the users selected set point temperature. This is used to detect that the fire had extinguished. It will close the damper solenoid valve (if equipped) and turn off the forced air draft motor. This is also a safety feature where if something catastrophic happened to the system, and can help prevent a complete meltdown of the OWB.
We do not like the ON-OFF type of controls because of wild swings in temperatures and belching smoke with every TURN-ON cycle:
i723 low temperature test. Results are great. There isn’t any belching smoke, erratic temperature swings, or wasted fuel:
