AJ,Now - with the CO Issue - in order to use the coal stove for the reiander of the winter - I think I am going to disconnect the flue pipe for the oil furnace and cap off the T so the flue into the chimney is only being used by the coal stove. With this setup the oil burner would never be in use while the coal stove is working - In essence the oil furnace would not be in use - only its fan motor via a thermostat switch hooked up the coal stove. Unless I am not seeing something I think this shoud work...
In essence, that is how we have our AA-260 hooked up here at the house. Ours is hooked up parallel so we can only run one at a time. It works fine that way. I also used metal tape to seal each jount in the pipe and to seal the cap onto the "T."
Where are you located ??? Perhaps a member can loan your their manometer to check your install.
Thew 2 large fans on the back of the Hyfire II are to be removed in an install like yours. It allows better airflow around the jacket to be drawn into your cold air return.
