Well based on the old configuration of the dinosaur that we are replacing, we decided on the Englander Add on Wood Furnace.

It will go nicely where the old one was. The issue that we ran into with the other ones, was the fact that it would be out in the middle of the room, by the time we hooked up the flue and we couldn't have that. This one is very close to the old dimensions and the flue comes out of the top, not the back of the unit. Its only 10 inches deeper, so that won't be bad.
But it took an act of god to get one of these things ordered. Only one of their dealers in our area was willing to go the extra mile to make sure we got what we wanted. And the price was definitely reasonable.
Here's the pictures of the "thing" that we are replacing. Please excuse the mess, as the son has the garage in a shambles with a motor rebuild:
And in this picture, you can see the breaks in the welds in the firebox.
Anyone have a guess on how old the Volcano is??? I had to replace the fan about two years ago. But never did find any information that dated it.
Also, we scored two Black Walnut trees that were taken down professionally. Our friend called us as soon as he saw them coming down and asked if we wanted them. We've been cutting, splitting and stacking for the past three weekends. We estimate that we will have enough wood for 5 years out of those two trees.
