[TheForge] outdoor wood "furnace" from woodstove?

[Andrew Vida]

First thing: craigslist.  Probably not too many of those in Joisey, but 
down here I see them all the time and the prices vary wildly. For 
eample: http://parkersburg.craigslist.org/bik/4748632940.html

If that is a proper furnace, I'd call $500 a pretty fair price.
