Hi Guy's,I got a small furnace that was removed from a warehouse,free.they were changing them all to natural gas.
I put a woodstove in my Garage last year and was thinking about piping the Furnace exhaust into the same chimny pipe.Kinda want to leave the woodstove in place and just use the furnace for quick heat,while the woodstove is warming up.
What problems am I gonna run into?Don't want to gas myself, with the furnace exhaust.

Lived in a house when I was little it had a LP and wood stove both in it nad they used one chimney and on set of duct work i know there was a dampner between the 2 and it had to be closed if the wood stove was out the LP was only a back up if the wood stove went out can not remember how the rest was set up but it worked for many years like that.

What type of fuurnace is it?

LP & NG is a bad deal to mix with the others.

Wood & heating oil works, but it is now against code, and probably works better in an old drafty house morseso than in a new insulated & sealed house..... .

They don't like wood stoves in a garage any more either, needs to be 24 inches off the ground or more, gasoline fumes drift around the floor & ignite in a big ball.

I see lots of problems, but your call.

My father runs a wood furnace, oil furnace, and oil water heater all into one chimeny. He sees no problem, but when he put some young chicks down in the cellar overnight, they were all dead by morning. Don't know why, but during warmer months this never happens. If in doubt, ALLWAYS error on the side of caution. Mike

I agree with Jay, it won't work and you wouldn't be allowed to do it..the stack temperature for the furnace will be tremendously interfered with by the stack temperature created by the wood stove. Your furnace will not run properly under these conditions and it will shut off prematurely creating dangerous fumes, the only time it will work properly is when the wood stove is out. You need twin flues if you are going to run those two units..and for God's sake don't tell your insurance company or they'll double your premium!

Retired Firefighter here. For God"s sake and your own life PLEASE don"t do it. Think Carbon monoxide and lots of it. Two separate flues and keep one cap ending 24" or more above the other. Sorry to be such a____.

Probably your building codes won't allow shared chimneys. Also, when running both at the same time, it's quite possible that one or both won't draft well, at best case making it smelly and worse deadly.

I however do know lots of people that do it with good results.

Carbon Monoxide detectors are not an option, but a necessity. I think Night Hawk still make the best on the market. I like the ones with the digital read-out.

The days you will have the most problems are the heavy/humid days with no wind.

At least get someone to check your draft, before you start, to see if it's even close to working.
