I have a 90K but it is a little light in output and has hopper fire damage. Will this give me a lift that is worth it? I will need to cut a 8" hole in the top and these are double skinned... Fan speed is a little higher and the double skin will help me pipe hot air into the next room. Opinions please.

as long as the top is double lined, no problem adding a top duct, I have mine ducted upstairs with a 8" pipe.

Here's my modification

Thata a Koker, that kicks out some serious heat!! that would work, I was looking at those previously too, but couldn't find one at a decent price at the time.

There seems to be a few Kokers around. I saw one for $500. Also an A70 furnace for $500. These were a bit far away though, Elmira area.

Stoves don't do well on the big jobs. Get a real furnace or at least a Koker.

I totally agree, but with all CN's fancy look'in stoves, I assumed he was putting in his living-room or something. If it's going in a basement, you need something like this. One BIG hole in the top and a BIG blower on the back.

The Koker is an acceptable option IF you don't mind the area around the furnace getting heated.

Here's one for $650
