Locating a Dealer for Hurricane Wood Stove?

Nathaniel asked:


I’m trying to locate the website or dealer who sells accessories for the Hurricane brand wood stove. If there’s anyone out there that can help me find someone I would GREATLY appreciate that!
I am primarily looking for an adapter. I have a 8″ exhaust output from my stove now, with a 6″ chimney pipe. I need an adapter to connect them - any manufacturer that sells chimney pipe adapters would be great.

How can I get my electric furnace to blow the already hot air from my wood stove?

kALi asked:


I have an electric furnace that shoots hot air through my ducts all around the house. I installed a wood stove close to it and I’d like to use my ducts to heat my house but not necessarily use the heater in the electric device. Can I have it modified so it only blows air without reheating it (since it’ll already be hot air from the wood stove nearby)?
