I would not like to interfere with the air flow through the AK110 as I have suggested. We need pics and he needs to finally decide. Then we can talk.

Neither furnace nor boiler are legal to install in a garage in most areas without doing some significant special install requirements.
This has to do with gasoline fumes & fire............... BOOM

Good point...My garage is more of a shop/man cave where I Don't park cars or store gas....So good point to consider when deciding which direction to go...

Biz, my point is the stove is UL listed and the high temp switch should be about 2 feet from the duct outlet. So for instance is f the 1800cfm fails the outlet temp rises and the stove shuts down. So you do not want some other stove linked with that in an interfering way. I have a few ideas that I would bounce of you but let's see if this ever comes to pass. I would hope the stove dealer would have ideas too but the ones in Orange County I would not trust to plug in an electric fire.

Thanks for the explanation... If the OP went with forced air and using the hot air duct from the GEO, it would be very similar to my installation except I tie into the duct of an air handler for air conditioning and electric heat strips, basically the same. My 2 systems are not tied together electrically. They only share the hot air duct with a manual damper that isolates one from the other. Only one can run at a time. If my 1800cfm blower fails, the high limit trips, turns off the combustion blower and stoker, and the gas logs take over automatically. I have my backup backed up!
So yea, we'll wait to see which direction he goes and I'd be interested in hearing what your idea is...
