Was gonna do it sooner but after 11 years the fan on the door, to feed it air didnt want to get going it was pretty gummed up, so I ordered a new one from Grainger switched it out. And now we are ready to roll!

HOLY AUSCHWITZ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know it gets cold up north but just what are you heating?
 
That thing is so big it will suck the paint off your house and give your whole family a blow job :msp_thumbup:
 
Did you park your BobCat in there for the summer..
Incredible, More Pics please..
 
Most of the guys on here have seen this already I dont want to bore them. Just took a quick pic before lighting.
 
Isn't that a bale burner ? will accept an entire round bale. After this summer it's probably cheaper burning 1/3 cord at a time. Even cheap hay here is bringing premium prices.

Keeping the wood cut and boiler filled looks like it might be a PT job.

No bale burner here I built this one 11 years ago and have built 3 more since. I can put 2 round bales in it if I like but rarely do. As far as it being a part time job, I fill it on average of 12 times a winter with wood, all loaded with a skid loader and cutting a log off at 10ft and picking it up with a skid has never been to strenous for me I guess. The firebox is
10ft deep and 8ft round. 3400 gallon water capacity
