"Overall this is a decent wood furnace, I've only had one problem so far after a couple months of 24 hour a day use.
There now is a hint of smoke in the duct air that wasn't there before.... I suspect a pinhole in the burn chamber welding but haven't had time to properly test for a leak. I can fix it myself so not really worried about it, just the wife will nag me about it till I do.
The blower on this unit is more than adequate for my home, buying the twin blower would have been a waste of money for my installation.
The ash pan is great, the simple design makes it easy to clean out... the open end is the best idea ever.... Boxed ash pans can be really messy to empty!"

"I just received my Daka wood burning furnace and just love it! I can't believe how efficient the furnace burns. I fill the furnace 2 times a day and it will keep my 1688 sq foot house at 74deg easly for 24 hrs. I would highly reccomend this furnace to anyone. Great customer service. Great price too!!!

replace oil

"I am thinking of getting this furnace to replace my oil furnace. My house needs 50000BTUs total- 20000 in the basement and 30 upstairs.
We live in Manhattan, but would like to be able to come to our rural house in the winter. I hate the idea of burning oil.

Any thoughts on the suitability of this furnace for that purpose?"

"I have to say that I am way more than happy I got this wood furnace!!
I burned some kindling and 2 - 4inch logs in it on the driveway before bringing it in the house, the smoke from the outside was gone after first log but did the second just for insurance.
It could not be easier to put this furnace together, took all of 30 min to have it redy to hook up in place of my old stove.
I had measured and was redy with what I needed to hook up and wire new stove and it was in place wired and being fired in less than 20 min.
My home is poorly insulated for northern MN and it was about 6F outside, the house cooled to 58F as I had to wait till old stove was dead to change them out. I have a 1600sqf two story home. I fired the 521 and it took less than 20 min to go from stone cold to kicking the blower on and then another 20min to bring the living room up to 75F, 1 hr latter we had the living room to 90 plus and the upstairs at 86F, we just wanted to see what it could do!!!!! Temp outside had gone below 0F! Old stove never could heat the upstairs it was always cold. They say this stove can heat 2600 ft and they are not kiding! One more thing is that I work midnights and when I come home, house is still warm and enough coals to relight easy, thats about a 9 hour burn!!
It drafts great, starts easy, burns hot, it's easy on wood, I can't say enough good things about this stove! (no I'm not a sales person for them)!!
You will enjoy this stove, you will be warm, I don't know how I put up with my old one so long!!!"

"I own 2 DAKA furnaces. One in my home and one in my shop. I could not ask for a more reliable and economical furnace! These furnaces are the highest quality on the market ,I researched many brands and decided on a DAKA . I was not disapointed in my dicision ! My wife never complains of being cold anymore!!! I have not used any propane to heat my home since instaling this furnace ."
