This is off topic a little but I am getting tired of heating costs for my old farm house. I’ve been thinking off and on about outdoor wood furnaces and have heard both good and bad. Most of the good comes from the manufacturers and some users. I did see a web site that had some negative comments by users concerning such things as efficiency, wood use (very high), quality of construction, smoke, maintenance, etc. All the good reports by users have been second hand. I would like to heat the house (2 story, poorly insulated), 24 X 36 garage (can be insulted as good as I want) and if possible 1 or 2 greenhouses. I can easily locate the furnace closer than 100’ to all of these buildings. I have lots of wood on the farm. I can cut down trees for the rest of my life and not run out. I would like to hear from anyone who has an outdoor boiler and what they think of it, i.e. quality, fuel use, brand names, how long you’ve used it etc. I am also posting this on the tool talk & country life forums Thanks, Phil
