Buying a Coal Stoker Furnace

I've been in the market to get one this year. I was planning on getting a Koker or a RSDB-6 (Allegheny Stoves), but I'm hearing all about delays and back-logs. I guess I didn't do enough research on the lead times for these things. Can anyone tell me if they know of any manufacturer who isn't back-logged? I'd also be interested in a used model if anyone wants to sell. I'm looking for an automatic feed hot-air furnace that can be thermostatically controlled. I'm in Pittsburgh, but I make a few trips a year to Syracuse to visit In-Laws so I'd be willing to travel a bit to pick-up.

At this point in the season, you might just have to call around to different dealers outside your area and see what they have in stock and jump on one. There may be some available that aren't spoken for. I think most of the Mfr's are filling orders as fast as they can, but still some are delayed for months right now. Good luck.
