Wondering if anyone is still firing a longwood furnace?
I am sure they are better off with the system you put in. This one was in the house when we bought it 35 years ago and it was a house at that time 10 years old. I put the , new at that time , optional lower automatic damper on. We have burned almost exclusively wood since we have lived here. It had LP as the other fuel. We did away with the LP part when we put in central air several years ago. I really like the furnace with the exception of having some flue plugging from time to time. Really easy to cut wood for the the furnace unless you want split wood.Last Jan when it was 34 below around here I made a service call on one that had oil back up and the filter out side on the tank had frozen up. They had not used the wood part of the furnace in a number of years. Its the only one I have ran into in this area. Was out on a old farmstead. I went back in the summer and took it out and switched them over to a propane 96 percent furnace and central AC. The house had never had central AC. They said there grand parents had it installed in the 70's when they were small kids. It went to the scrapper as no one seemed to want it.
