OK so I have narrowed down my choices for replacing my oil fired furnace with either the Harman sf2600ss coal/wood/oil combo unit or the Keystoker A150 coal oil combo unit.
The questions I have now are:
Are there disadvantages to having a stoker with hopper such as jamming or uneven burning problems, etc.
Would I be better off with a hand fed furnace (Harman) for more control over fire, ability to use different size coal, etc.
Does anyone have any experience with these two companies. The keystoker website doesn't give all that much info on these units and specs are sparse.
It seems that the Keystoker is about $900 cheaper and comes with the hopper and has a more powerful blower. But the Harman stove is sold by a store right in my town and has more copious info and specs on their website.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
