    OWB, Yours and why

    (yours)-- an INDOOR AHS multifuel boiler inside my garage. (WHY)-- I had an outdoor OWB and I was sick and tired of refilling it in the freezing cold every 8 hours. Indoor unit is WAY more efficient, way cheaper, is ASME stamped and I don't freeze my butt off refilling it. The wife loves that...

    Anyone have a wood and oil forced water boiler

    My AHS is a multifuel boiler, not a gasifier (Wood Gun) model. A gasifier will not burn coal, which is why I bought mine. it was alot cheaper than the gasifier. I believe the Tarm Gasifier requires a very large holding tank to get maximum efficiency out of the unit. The AHS does NOT require...

    Anyone have a wood and oil forced water boiler

    I have a AHS multifuel boiler that burns wood/coal and has an oil backup. It was no where near the price of the tarm ( which I think is WAY over priced) The AHS is built like a tank and works very well and is quite efficient. Although I burn 90% coal. http://www.alternateheatingsystems.com

    Wood Shed question

    Most people in my area do what you are saying but, since we get alot of snow and wind they put the OWB right inside the building. I sold my OWB a few years ago and put an indoor coal/wood boiler inside my garage which is about 50ft away from my house. It was the best thing I have done. No...

    educate a new guy on saw mills please.

    Ok, I'm not new to the site but i am new to the Mill section of the site. I live on a farm with PLENTY of large trees on my property. I recently read an article about milling your own lumber ( if you have the trees ). Well, now I am intrigued. I need some suggestions on what I would need to...

    Here's a few thoughts about this forum's wood burners

    I had an OWB and it burned an absolute boatload of wood. Wifey got sick of freezing her butt off tending to it while I was at work so I sold it and got an INDOOR multi fuel ( wood, coal, oil backup ) unit and it is WAY WAY more efficient than the OWB. I can easily get 14-16 hour burn times at...

    newer Ford deisels, anything good to say about em

    I have noticed ( atleast on the dodge diesel forums) that mileage does vary even with the exact same trucks. I have a 2005 with 3:73 gears, 6 speed, Edge Juice Box, AFE BHAF cold air filter, and a muffler delete and I can NOT get any better than 20 MPG empty on the highway. But, I do live in the...

    newer Ford deisels, anything good to say about em

    I have never seen a newer poerstroke that gets anywhere near 20MPG. My co worker has an 06 and he gets about 14 MPG and another just bought an 08 and he said he gets about the same..

    newer Ford deisels, anything good to say about em

    My first one was a 2001. It was an outstanding truck. But, the kids started to grow and they could no longer fit comfortably in the small back seat. So, I reluctantly traded it for a 2005 quad cab a few years ago. It has Plenty of room in the back even for adults. It also has the newer common...

    newer Ford deisels, anything good to say about em

    I have had two Dodge CTD 2500's now and I haven't had one problem with them what so ever. I pull my dump trailer filled with gravel ( 12k + ) atleast once a week and never even went through a U-joint yet..

    Should I buy an OWB or not?

    It was a Pacific Western ( Cold Killer model) it was a wood only. if i would have bought a wood/coal combo I probably would have kept it. Plus my wife HATED going outside in the cold to tend the fire when I was at work. I sold it and bought an AHS Multi Fuel indoor boiler I get 16-20 hr burn...

    Should I buy an OWB or not?

    Where in Md. are you located? I would have to agree with coppermouse and get a wood stove if you don't want to shell out the 10k for an OWB. there are other options however. I had an OWB for 3 years and hated it. It was freezing cold standing out there tending the fire and my burn times...

    Start of my new ATV cart

    My buddy built a trailer just like that ( steel tube ) he used those emergency spare tires that are in most car trunks now a days. He just put some side rails on it and hauls 6-7 ft. lengths out of the woods and cuts them up at home.. It works great and it bullet proof... Any junkyard would...
