I have an AD-1. I bought it when I first started burning coal because I was having draft problems during warm weather burns. I've since learned how to burn without loosing my draft by using extra secondary air. I don't use the inducer anymore other than while cleaning the furnace out at the end of the season and for starting fires, that's all. The inducer itself draws too much draft, even on it's lowest setting. There is a way to get into it and manipulate it to run slower but then it seems to get hot. Here's more reading abut it.

Before buying one, there's a few things to think about and check.
How tall is the chimney now ? Did it ever back draft with a very low wood fire ?
Are there any roofs or tall trees nearby ?
Have you tried running the coal stove yet ?
If so, have you checked for air leaks using some smoldering string held near all door edges and seams ?
Any air leakage before the firebed makes it tough to control the stove - it will want to burn too quickly. Any air leaks after the firebed lower the draft strength and make the stove react sluggishly - enough leaks and it can be tough to keep it running.
With a decent drafting chimney system and the stove properly sealed, you shouldn't need any draft assist system. Also, using larger sized coal such as stove coal will help increase the draft strength because it will breath and burn faster than nut sized coal.
And last question, if you go with a draft assist system,..... what happens to your draft during a power outage ????
