Hello,
I'm trying to find out more about Newmac oil burning and wood/oil furnaces but can't fing the company website. http://www.newmacfurnaces.com/ doesn't work. Anybody know if this company's still in business?
Thanks

Server problems maybe. Try on Monday. Their site doesn't have any manuals if I recall.

Update: It's back up.

If you are considering a wood/oil combo unit get the one with "no grate".

You will be thankful for the wood burning savings as the models with the cleanout grates burn wood at a very fast rate.

Excellent product when installed properly, maintained and to code.

wood/oil

You can try to find info on 'the caddy', a wood/oil combo.
the only site I have is http://www.wardheating.com

Thanks for the tips. I just realised that the wood/oil combo might not work as I am also venting an oil fired water heater (John Woods 32 gal) up the same 8"x12" flue. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks again.

As is sits now you may not vent an oil fired water heater in the same chimney as the wood/oil combo unit. CAN/CSA-B139-04 Installation code for oil burning equipment.

The wood/oil combo unit will however require a stainless steel chimey liner in order to meet code. CAN/CSA-B365-01 installation code for solid fuel burning appliances and equipment.
