Fawcett Wood Furnace

I bought a home with a combination electric/wood burning forced air furnace in the two story section of the home and another electric only forced air furnace in the rancher section. The combo unit is a Fawcett - Duo-Matic/Olsen unit. It seems well maintained with a new SS liner in a masonry chimney. The original owner had added a hot air duct between the combo unit and the second forced air electric furnace. It is not very efficient as it runs through an unheated space before getting to the furnace. A couple of questions on this set-up. Is anyone using a similar arrangement? Ha anyone tried to install a couple of heat exchangers similar to those used in outdoor wood burners connected by small diameter glycol filled tubes to transfer heat from the wood burner to the electric forced air furnace? Any other comments on this arrangement will be appreciated.

Located in Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada, the present day Enterprise Fawcett is the product of a small beginning that started back in 1852 by Mr. Dixon and a number of leading farmers under the name Dominion Foundry Company. It is believed thats some of the early work produced by the foundry was made to supply the sailing ships of the era.

I have a Bengal Stove Style #M2203 serial # XXXXX I have been trying to find out any info on this stove. I think it was a wood or coal burning stove that my Grandfather had converted to. By 1962, Enterprise Foundry was considered to be the largest privately owned and second largest Canadian owned Stove Company in Canada. In 1984, the assets of Enterprise Foundry and Enamel and Heating Products Limited (formerly Fawcett Foundry) were combined and became Enterprise Fawcett, still in business today.
