Is this a wood furnace?

[LilDave]

If so can I use it indoors? I was told I could from the person I bought it from. Any help with any info on a stove like this would be greatly appreciated.

yep, looks like an old hotblast.

Thanks. do they eat a lot of wood?

yep, looks like an old hotblast.

It has a dayton 4C565A blower on it. Will it heat 1300 square foot

was it worth the 330 dollars I gave for it? I really looked this site over before I bought it couldn't find anything else in my price range. no hot spots or warping.

I have no idea. I just like that there must be a fun story behind $330. $325 is too low, $340 is too high, but $330 is just about right. By the way, you can totally ignore me, I'm mostly amusing myself right now.

Thanks for the welcome. They got a water stove to heat the house and the water. That's why they sold this one to get it out of the way is what he told me

They also wanted 350 but let me have it for 330

It's a wood furnace. It should heat 1300 ft no problem. It will probably eat a lot of wood compared to any newer EPA type furnace.

Does it really look like a Hotblast? I thought it looked like something homemade.

Also looks like pretty small air outlets on it.

Think I would class it 'buyer beware', and 'at your own risk'.

That's a homemade unit. Because it's not tested for safety, strict clearances would need to be followed. I'd hesitate to connect it to my ductwork, like mentioned....use at your own risk. I've seen many homemade stoves, but the ideal of hooking a homemade furnace to ductwork makes me cringe.

The outlets on top are 6". I think it is homemade Firebox is a little smaller than the hotblast. it only has one blower dayton 4C565A.

You aren't the first one to make the purchase and then ask the folks here if you made the wrong move instead of edumicating yourself by asking the folks here before you made the purchase.
