Jerry,
I`d like to have forced air heating from coal on the next heating season . I have atleast 2000 sq ft of living space 90,000 of BTU capacity would seem to be pushing the unit at it`s limit . My concern is that the unit will start spilling coal. Especially if I`m using my existing furnace blower . There must be a fair amount of heat loss with that method. Since I`m a day late and a dollar short on the Hyfire I would the Hyfire II have too much capacity ??

The stokers have controls to limit the rate of coal feed,, so you will be able to keep it from 'spilling coal'..
The HiFire stoves have dual burners.. you can run one or both. So the BTU output is more 'adjustable' than with most large BTU units..
