I haven't even turned our natural gas on yet. Spent $2000 about 4 years ago on our wood burner. Spent money on chain saw chains, a splitter, gas, oil, and my time to supply the heat ever since. Last year we did decide to turn it on just for the coldest 3-4 winter months. Probably do the same here soon and turn it on Jan-Mar. I will spend $25 minimum gas bill just for the backup plan for three months. Never know when you might have a problem or get laid up or something. Something to think about if you have the ability to do so and access to a steady source of firewood. Just a thought SP.
Coleman Furnace? Hmmm. . . .maybe Hoytmania can back me up here, but I am thinking you find a lot of these in Mobile home and modulars. I could very well be wrong. If so, they are generally not the friendliest furnaces to get parts for nor are they the most efficient things out there. I could be wrong, but I did spend a couple years in the supply business, have grown up around an uncle in the business, and have fiddled with a handful of furnace issues at our rental properties.
