Connecting a wood furnace to an existing oil furnace?
Being on a farm I have acres of bush. I got an older Hunter wood furnace with a firebox that is approx. 3' by 3' by 18 inches. I just had a new chimney with its own flue built for it. I have a Lennox Oil furnace and a friend told me I had to route the ductwork from the oil furnace, through the wood furnace and into the main duct. That would be very inefficient when only using the oil furnace. I was wondering if it is possible to use a second fan and thermostat for the wood furnace and a flapper door and connect it to the main duct manifold style?

that seems like a good idea, only one problem, if its not perfect, you will blow combustion gasses back through your oil furnace and into the room
