Newmac Wood Furnaces

[OC455]

Anyone have any experience with Newmac Wood Furnaces or the combo wood/oil furnaces?

Looking at one to replace the old wood furnace I have in my house.

The one I am looking at is only7 years old and looks very well maintained.

Growing up, we had a combo wood/ oil furnace. Not sure of the brand though. We very rarely used the oil side of it. Only during periods of extreme cold, and set the thermostat to kick on at 65 degrees. In case the fire burned out.

The rest of the time the thermostat was set at 45 degrees and we just burned wood. Blower would kick on when the fire box reached a certain temperature, and would kick off once the fire box dropped below a certain point.

Worked great. We averaged around 5 cord a year. Spent many nights where the temp was below zero running around the house wearing only shorts and slippers sweating my butt off

I found a regular add on Newmac WB100 add on wood furnace, and found the wood/oil comb furnace, but it looks like the pump/blower unit was removed from it. But it is old 1979. The WB100 is only 7 years old according to the seller. And looks to be taken care of.

Also found a Yukon Eagle I furnace oil/wood combo....further away though.
