I have a new Hotblast CF1440E coal furnace an yes this should burn wood just fine. It heats 2500sq ft still on the pallet. Never been hooked up. I also have 2 new blowers in the box for it. This furnace does not come with blowers when you buy in a store you have to purchase separate. But I have 2 news ones that goes with the furnace. You can hook it to your ductwork or use it without it. $1200 cash might trade on firearms but trade value is higher then cash price. Just decided to go a different route. Text REDACTED
