Back to Wood

[rottiman]

Burned wood for lotsa years. Thought this year I would try the Pellet thing. Dosen't work for me so it's back to wood. Does anyone have any experience with the Englander Add-On wood furnace? I have a forced air oil furnace and this unit would mate up to the duct work tickity-boo. I really liked the Englander Pellet stove I have and their customer service is first rate, so sticking with this company would be A-Okay. Love to be able to hear from anyone who went this route. Thanks

Bump this back to the top. Someone out there has an Englander furnace, I hope.

It seems like a very simple add on furnace. It has good reviews on the Home Depot website. I have read up on a few add on furnaces that had secondary combustion and that might be a better route to go. I saw a real nice fire chief with a cat at Rural King last week and it was marked down 60%. I inherited and old Daka from my grandfather and installed two secondary combustion tubes in it. I have fired it up a few times and the first floor got up to 80 pretty quick. I will mess around with it when it gets colder or next year. Check CL for a used furnace as well. There is a guy on here that is a furnace distrubutor of some brand and he sells factory direct...I can't remember his name, but the product seemed first rate and it had a secondary sombustion.

I hear they are good furnaces and heat well. If you wanted to spend a little more, you could have a furnace thats EPA certified. Using less wood and burning cleaner. We have a Caddy and they are very nice furnaces. Made there in Canada.
