[QUOTE="logbutcher, post: 2626813, member: 4440"] Don't listen to the naysayers: get what you want. You're an adult.....aren't you ? BUTT: Look at the total cost in $$$ and time getting that OWB up an running. Do you want to run outside to load ? Can you run the pumps when the power is down ? Look into other options if you want a central boiler such as one of inside ones like Tarm. Some of the so-called "gasification" furnaces will switch automatically to another fuel such as gas or oil when the wood side runs out. Then again, we heat 100% with two high end EPA wood stoves. They'll run for a good 8 hours heating with the right log load. Easy to isntall, simple maintenance, nice warmth and ambiance, no power needs, no pipes. Final thought: some OWB's are wood eaters, inefficient, CAN be smoke dragons to your neighbors. Don't fall in love :heart: without using the other brain up top. [/QUOTE]
