OK....as of right now I don't have a wood burner. I had planned on just getting a cheapy Vogelzang Norsemen for my garage this fall. HOWEVER...after months of searching, I may have found a used Johnson add on furnace for about 1/2 the price($650)....it is very comparable to a Hotblast/Vogelzang 2500.
So....do I save about $500 and get the used one and hope it is good? I have access to welders and steel to work on it if it isn't.
THEN....a place in my town has a rental trailer they are selling. 2 axle box trailer that would be PERFECT for wood! Could probably get 1.5 cord in just the trailer. Body is starting to rust but a good buddy of mine does sand blasting and painting. We could bang it out in less than a day looking brand new. $650 asking price(ironic!).
Not sure I should jump on both but am tempted to try and get the furnace for around 5 bills if in decent shape....however it is a 4 hour drive away.
Thoughts????
