This is the 1st prototype is using a 220btu burner . Although testing has been slow because of 90 degree weather it does show real promising . It throws gobs of heat with the 1800 cfm fan . Stack temps are very cool on high burn so most of the heat is being washed off the furnace and blown up through the duct . We are hoping to finish the preliminary testing in the next couple weeks . Then we will be doing a 110btu unit which we are finding out 110 BTU is very conservative on the Pocono burner . More to come .

The first pic is the furnace running on the coal trol in our test area ,it was 93 degrees in the room after 1hr from start up . The second pic is the inside stove pipe temp running the 220k burner at full blast just at the outlet . This thing washes some heat ,plus running on the coal trol the 1800cfm fan is variable speed. The third is a test I tacked a piece of steel in to try to get the flames a little more spread out evenly toward the front that's what prototypes are for . Headed in the right direction but I need to make something more permanent and wider out of cast iron that looks good and protects the rear tubes from direct flame . We will be warm in the shop this winter .

220K BTU's might just heat this dump I have here ... quite nicely I would imagine!

That's one hell of a stoker you got there! Nice work!

How many lbs will the hopper hold, and whats the size of the ash pan??? You better put that ash pan on wheels, so it can just be rolled out the door!

Any plans on making this a dual-fuel capable furnace?
