Buddy of mine is looking at an air stove and wonder what everyone thinks about them. Pluses and minuses
That link doesn't work, but I see what you are talking about...those were pretty popular around here a few years ago (there are a lot of different brands of them) and they seem to have kinda disappeared...the little bit that I have heard about them wasn't flattering...and you see one on CL or FBM fairly cheap now and again...based on all that I don't think its something I would recommend to anyone.
I think I would back the truck up even further. To calling his insurance agent, telling exactly what he wants to do and exactly with what, and asking if it's insurable.
I looked at those for a minute before I put my boiler in. Wasn't convinced that they had proven themselves. No real thermal mass that I could see, plus the duct work looks stupid. Gotta be located fairly close to the building as well.
Just a little hint here fellas. The link that papadave gave might not be a good web site. My browser blocked it because it is not safe.
RUH ROH. It's a real website. A good one? Don't know. Firefox tells me parts of FHC are not secure, yet.....here I am.
