Hi, I have a Yukon Husky wood/oil. I had a Yukon Big Jack before, it worked fine, but the Husky was a much more elegant solution for me so I switched 'er out. The Husky was the most bang for the buck (bought it used) and I like the way it works, it heats my 2000 sq. ft. easily. I used about 4.5 - 5 cords of wood last winter, keeping my average insulated, 1940 brick cap cod at 72* or so. I am a bit of a tinkerer and I felt that it could burn just a bit cleaner, not that it was bad, just room for improvement. So I have made a couple mods that have helped clean things up real nice. Seems to burn a bit less wood on those light heating load days in the spring and fall too.
For what it's worth, if I'm being completely honest, and I was gonna spend the money on a new wood furnace install, I'd look real hard at a Kuuma Vaporfire (sponsor here) or a PSG Caddy, (the caddy has wood/oil option) They are both EPA clean burn type furnaces. But I went with the Yukon because I only had 1 flue available, and looking back, an option that I hadn't considered was putting the wood furnace of my choice on the available flue and then installing an HE oil or proPAIN furnace that just vents out the wall without a chimney needed. I only used 3-5 gallons of oil last winter on the weekends that we were gone, so if that had been the proPAIN that I was burning, I guess it wouldn't have been too PAINful.
BTW, this is my first Hearth reply, I've been lurking around here for a year or two, I guess your question just spurred me to join/respond. Good luck with your decision!
