Question:
I’m looking at buying an Outside Wood Furnace, which one is best?

Answer:
Ohh, there is a loaded question. Do you truly want an answer – or do you wish me to justify a choice you have already made in your heart. The manufactures in this industry are at war. They fire rumors, lies, deceit, and half-truths at each other without any remorse or concern. So, you read the brochures, talk to the dealers and the answers get even more distant. This company has the best literature – flashy tri-folds, DVDs, all the latest trends. This other one makes sense – but the dealer is caught in a time warp from the mid-sixties. Who do I believe? What do I buy?

Question:
I cannot decide between gasification boiler or wood boiler.
I will be using it with oil fired hot water boiler. Which is more practical? Which is more efficient? Don't plan on dying for thirty years or so. Thanks.

Answer:
My friend, I assume you are comparing an indoor gasification wood
boiler to a traditional indoor wood boiler. Your plan to live another thirty
years is wise. Any change in that plan could be fatal.

I will approach this topic from a couple different angles.
