So with this tax credit you can buy a new one like our for a price you'll never see again. Then you'd have somehting to last the next 30 years or better.
Buying local may be a way but think about no markup vs the retailers markup.
They do not have any way to burn smoke off which nets you another 30-40% of the possible btu's like the Jacks have.
Beefie...you bet.We still build them like they were 40 years ago and they have demonstrated with history a great track record.
Burning less wood with longer burn times over decade of depedable operation says that maybe...just maybe it's time to retire your ole buddy.
I mean why take chances.Will the guy the welds this old one up guarentee it will not fail when you need it most?
I'm not saying ...go out and buy a Jack...get what you think will do the job for the $$$$ you may have.
We are not talking about frivolus matters here.This is your home,and there is a lot that rides on your furnaces ability to operate safely.
