Frustration.

Bluemax and I returned today from 500 mile roundtrip to Ashland Ky where we retrieved from some poor fellow a nearly mint Combustioneer 24FA Will-Burt stoker furnace. The very same furnace as I have come to love. Frustration no more when we get this installed in place of the Hotblast! Will post pictures as we get put together.

OUTYSTANDING Willis--looking fwd to pix.

Any news on the install????

Finally got it installed Friday night. I underestimated the time it would take to put her together though. As wood is his only source of heat we were committed when we took out the hotblast. 8 hours later we were firing on coal and finally another happy coal burner has joined us. It is so convenient I couldn't imagine ever going back to hand feeding

How much did this furnace cost?...If you don't mind me asking

This was a 500 dollars craigslist find. Plus 150 in diesel to go pick up. A very well taken care of one owner!

I don't think you could beat that price . Someone not too far from here was recently selling a brand new, still in the crate stokermatic (warrior model) for $1000 IIRC which is a similar type furnace.
