So I've decided to switch from a wood furnace to a coal furnace. I'm looking at getting either a Leisure Line AK-110 or a Hitzer 710. I'm favoring the Leisure Line because I've heard nothing but good things about it. Plus I'm a big fan of getting all of the efficiency that I can out of the fuel with those heat exchangers. Also, a big fan of a 320lbs. hopper
On the other hand I have an old tile chimney and kinda like the idea of running a power vent, so the Hitzer is an option as well. Plus, I live under 40 miles from their factory.
Both run with the coal-trol thermostat, and are relatively close on btu, so I guess that id like to hear some feedback on the Hitzer, because I've read quite a few reviews on the Leisure Line.
