I'm selling my 235 with solenoid and flapper!  Any questions, read my post under new acme furnace.

I was getting ready to add a shutoff switch to blower to my acme 235.  There have been a few close calls.  But yesterday morning was the final straw for me and this acme furnace.  The chimney clogged up so bad I could hardly get the 2x4 out of it.  The sad part is I'm burning seasoned wood and a coal mix and the furnace has been running hard this winter!  They put me in this unit because the 340 was "not running enough".  It's my opinion that it is a poor design.  Im upgrading to another brand before I get hurt.
This furnace is for sale in central il if anyone is interested.  Only two years old.  I have two doors, and paint for front of unit where it is burnt from not having a shutoff switch.  There are also quite a few dings in chimney from hitting with sledge to keep it opened up, but nothing major.  Any ideas on what a two year old acme 235 is worth?  May consider letting 2x4 and ladder go with.  :)

Yea, the solenoid and flapper a must!!!  With coal, the times between filling greatly increase.  Just got two tons yesterday.  Under $150.  That is equivalent to 2-3 cords of wood.  Cheap heat!

I am heating a 2000+sq ft house, and a 3000+ sq ft shop with my furnace.  It's a acme 235 rated at 5500 sq ft max I believe. If its not keeping up, and your not losing heat in the ground, the other thing is to make sure your chimney is not clogging up.  I just cleaned mine last night.  Leave your door until fire shoots out the stack for a few min.  I would run a 2x4 down through your chimney after just to make sure. If you see any smoke from the front door it is time for a good ole chimney fire.  If your chimney is clean, you can open the round cover on your blower to give you more air.  Turn your pumps to the highest setting.  If these don't work and you buried your lines 3ft, it would be insulation time.  I put new windows in my basement and replaced the wood around them.  What a difference!!!  You can lose heat to quick no matter what size furnace if you have other issues that need addressed.

 I purchased a Acme furnace to burn wood and stoker coal.  I had some issues getting going as this was all new to me.  The customer service from the manufacturer was most impressive.  Black Creek Welding in Shelbina, MO.
I work on equipment for a living.  That being said, I looked at a lot of different furnaces and these units appealed to me due to the fact they are simple design and built like Sherman tanks!  I am heating my house and shop with it.  If something goes wrong, i am not waiting on a circuit board or trying to figure out which chamber got clogged when it is freezing out.  I just run to the local hardware store if something fails and my shop and house stay warm.   11 to 12 hour burn times and found stoker coal for $67 per ton.   Warm house=Happy wife. Cheap coal=happy me 

Love this site!
