Well by code the wood stove and furnace need separate chimneys. And a wood stove cannot be used in a garage
Would stove and we dont plan to use oil furnace every again

Is the garage a separate building? Or is it attached to the house? Either way, how are you going to heat a house with the heat in the garage?

Tell us the full plan. Will you be moving the stove from the garage into the house to replace the oil burner? If that is the plan, can you post a picture of the stove and another picture that shows where you want to place the stove?

I may be wrong, but I think he has a heated workshop that he wants to replace the furnace with a stove, @begreen. My friend did the same thing in his garage. Removed the furnace and put a free stove. Also ripped the roof off built a taller one, and installed a car lift. No codes. No permits, no nothing.
Yes she that what i am doing i was going to use the air handler to have pipeing thst ran to have heat moved around room

Just because they ignored codes doesn't mean they don't apply or that insurance will cover it if something goes wrong.
There are two identical threads going on this. One here and one in the Classics.
@dogdog130 please clarify what you want to use. Is this a old wood furnace or a wood stove? What make and model?

Ok that looks like a boiler not a hot air furnace. You really can't hook it into an air distribution system

Ummmm. I'm seeing a fan for forced air peeking out from under the sheet metal. Boilers don't have those.
By the way, what's that big RAT doing in the picture!
The holes at the back of the stove allowed cool water to enter at the lower hole and because hot water rises it leaves through the higher hole , probably a gravity system ( boilers are designed to keep heat inside , open the stove and take some pics of the inside . I’m not trying to pick on your post at all just trying to save you frustration . This will not be able to heat the plenum of the oil burner you would need to shut the blower off every few minutes or you’ll be blowing cold air .
Umm yeah it's a oil hot air furnace and a wood boiler.
