Here's a boiler that's direct vent

If they can make a boiler, I'm sure there is a direct vent forced air gas furnace.
I thought about getting a direct vent oil boiler. I didn't. Oil too stinky for me to have the exhaust at ground level ....
Oh yeah, by the way, you don't need a masonary furnace. In most cases double walled will do. I put in a super duper insulated chimney, and my inspector thought I was nuts to spend the money.

Do you mean type L double walled? I searched and search and couldnt get a straight answer as to exactly what type was ok. That was one reason for the overkill.
Well, now I know...
Yeah - type L for oil fired, B-vent (type B0 is only for gas fired._______________________
