I know this is an old thread, but I find myself looking for a gravity coal furnace for my barn. One near Southwest Michigan would be ideal. I would like one with the neat doughnut-shaped heat exchanger but am willing to look at others. The bigger the better. The barn is 40x60, uninsulated, cement floored.

Thanks!

Looks like I get to drive down to Southern Ohio to pick up this unit:

It's going to be an 10 hour day. I was hoping for closer but what can you do. $50 is a pretty good deal I think.

Can anyone give me an idea of how big this one is? The guy I am buying it from is a man of few words.

judging from the block wall behind it, at least 56" tall and about the same front to back.

center flange of fire pot about 24"

gonna need a fork lift or crazy friends influenced by many beers.

if they can get it to a door using sections of wood closet rod as rollers, maybe even out if they're handy, they might get close enough to use a truck side rail crane or lift gate even better.

many ways to skin the cat, just have to be clever and careful

want a REAL out of the box solution ? contact Pauliewog that guys a riggin mad man.

ask to see the pics of him moving a 2 story building by lifting it with fork lifts on a semi trailer and driving it around the lot like it was a yard barn to it's new foundation. :o :clap:

Now that is a heater :o

Most of those monsters just stack together, it shouldn’t be too bad to break it down into individual pieces :baby:

+1 on the loading pics...I️ want to see it raging :P

Of course, he will have all those things under his drivers seat. :D Sometimes you get lucky and the owner will load it. So $50 for the stove and $4000 for damage to truck and chiropractor bills. I still have those mashed knuckles from an attempt to rebuild a Jaguar and on a cold morning it still hurts. I think I do see new bolts on the front door so you may get lucky. Ahh, the hubris of youth. Don't worry about me Mark, I am just a sour old fart. I do wish you the best of luck. Obviously you own horses so I see why you are broke.

I've moved a few of these and I think this is close to what should be expected. The fly in the ointment might be if the gobs of what looks to be furnace cement in the pics don't surrender easily. Remember, these units generally are cast, and it's not unusual for especially the heavy ones to already have stress cracks in the grate/ash door section. So go easy and good luck.
