Does anyone burn wood chips? Is there an OWB that would work better then the others for this?
The reason I ask is, my brother has a tree service. I can get rounds from him, but he likes to shoot everything through the chipper, so the wood chips would be endless.
I'm getting an OWB soon. I think I've narrowed it down to the Central Boiler CL6048, and the Wood Master 5500. Everything I've read is very contradicting. CB says not to run a blower, WM says that blowers work better and on and on. The marketing nonsense is never ending.
I'm going to be building a new, 3500sqft home this spring with an exposed basement. I'm leaning toward under floor heat in the whole house including the basement, under the garage floor, domestic hot water, work shop(3000sqft), and possibly a hot tub some day.
One other thing. My brother is going to be building a house next door in a year or two. Would it be better to buy 1 really big OWB, and then have him tap into it when he builds, or have him get his own? He would be building around 3000sqft.
I've sifted through almost all the posts that had anything to do with my questions, but I'm still confused. Any help, or even a push in the right direction would be very helpful.
