Convert a Hand Fed Coal Furnace to a Stoker?

I was wondering how feasible it would be to take a hand fed wood/coal furnace and convert it to a stoker? I may have access to a Jenson? that has seen very little use.

It can be done providing the two pieces are compatible. Here is a recent thread about two stokers into a hand fired.

Hi, Kunger. Yes!

But do you homework first! I considered using a Jensen/Ashley24af and it can be done. But make sure you would be happy with the furnace you choose as a hand fired unit before you try making it a stoker fired unit. I'll be available for consultation.
