Circle K are all over the place in Charlotte, NC.
The only cook out I have ever enjoyed was in New Bern, NC. All others have been a let down.

BUT he also wants to put the unit in the attic crawlspace, which makes sense from the point of view of the physics (centralize heat/cooling and the farthest registers are no longer the length of the house away), but the idea of a gas-fired furnace in the attic of our wood frame house makes both Mrs. GeneJockey and me freak out - "I'm gonna light a fire in your attic to keep you warm!"
And yet I understand this is all the rage. And I haven't heard of any problems with it. But "fire in the attic" is a nonstarter with us. We'll see where we end up.

We have fire in the attic in our wood framed house. Three of them in fact (gas). Also, two gas fired water heaters in the attic. Had two of them in our last house. Everybody around here has them in the attic since we don’t have basements. Have never heard of it being a problem or resulting in a house fire.

if it’s under you, it’s like you are on a rotisserie. If it’s above you you have a chance to see, feel, smell it before it roasts you.
