Hi Folks
I live in NB Canada, about the same latitude as central Maine- we have cold winters here. My house is 1800 square feet with a full basement (used as work area/ utility- not finished). I currently heat with a Kerr Scotsman wood furnace and forced air, using roughly 5 cords per year mixed hardwood and softwood.
I am considering building an attached garage (roughly 600 square feet) and am debating getting an outdoor wood boiler, to use for heating house and garage. I cut my own wood off an 85-acre woodlot.
For those of you who have outdoor boilers, how do you like them? Pros, cons? What brand is it, how much wood do you use and what is your square footage?
Thanks in advance,
Farley in NB Canada
