OWB Merch, Employee of the Month Tees here!!! sweetvintagetees.com/collections/ohio-wood-burner-ltd

We live in NC, we have a Heater just like yours, had it for 32 years! We love the very warm house, hot showers, and Moist not dry heat. Our wood comes from our property. My husband is 83 and still cuts and splits wood and loves it. Enjoy your free heat!!

This was an exact replacement for the old one that lasted about 10 years. kzfaq.infoUgkx7yWIKcrbA9KMHkGSfcgxW2lsjHT6B8Sh The top of my mitigation tube by my roofline was just a 90 elbow which allowed too much debris to fall down into the fan, eventually ruining it. Without this issue, I bet it would have kept running another 10 years. When I replaced this fan, I added an extra elbow joint so the top tube now it does a 180, which should solve that problem. The radon guys around here wanted to charge me a $300 diagnostic fee, then parts/labor (probably close to $600 total). I installed this all by myself in about an hour for the cost of the fan; it would probably be even easier/faster with two people. FYI the manufacturer's warranty greatly differs depending on whether you install it yourself (1 yr warranty) or have a licensed installer do it (10 yrs).

Nature is so forgiving. If you cut one tree and drill a hole in the stump and plant a sapling you get that tree back again !

The house we bought a few years ago has the exact same furnace that you have. While we was moving in, a older man pulls up in the drive and he said he lives just down the road and asked me if we was going to use the wood furnace. I told him that I wasn’t sure because we didn’t know if it still worked. Then he told me that he was the one that installed it back 1992 and said he would check it out for us. He said that all it needed was a new pump, blower and water in the tank and it would be ready to start it up. I paid him to install the pump and blower and we’ve been using it ever since and we absolutely love it. This is the warmest house I’ve ever lived in. And yes, it does burn a lot of wood but I don’t care. I actually love cutting and splitting wood.

Hi Joe, I’m with ya, no monthly bill showing up in the mailbox = free for me! I appreciate utilizing what most consider as scrap wood. I own a central boiler classic installed 2005. I produce all my firewood from the non-merchantable leftover of what I harvest to sell, softwoods and hardwoods, but mostly softwoods. Feels great generating day after day heat and hot water from; butt rot balsam fir, cedar, standing dry pine and spruce and top wood hardwoods. Sell the best and burn the rest! Take care!

Thank you for explaining how the wood furnace works, actually showing us the working parts, and for setting realistic expectations about what it takes to keep it going. I had just learned these things even existed tonight while watching another video. I was curious how it worked as I am working towards becoming more self-sufficient. The very next video I saw in my feed was yours and it answered every single question that I had. I learned this wood furnace setup is going to be too much for me to manage by myself, and I also learned that I like your style so maybe I can learn more from you, therefore you have earned a new subscriber here. Excellent video!

Also a firewood producer, had thought about the outdoor furnace for years. After seeing this, no way, that’s to much lumber to eat just to get to December. I’ll stick to our two wood burning stoves, we average 5-6 cord used per year. Thanks Joe Chuck

The fiance and I are starting to figure out what we want when we build our own house, thankful to come across this video for alternative heating! All very good info

We've got an outdoor wood gasification boiler we put in two winters ago. Absolutely love it for the reason you mentioned...we put the heat on what we want, not what the electric bill dictates and we both like it warm. I very much enjoy my $80 electric bill with no additional gas or propane bill when it's 10 degrees outside in the winter. We're on 60 heavily treed acres in northern Idaho and have a small bandsaw mill. The offcut slabs are great for the boiler so the sawmill is a great compliment to the boiler. I mix about 1 part firewood to 4 parts cut up offcuts since the offcuts burn faster. That way it lasts at least a day between refills. I'm actually looking for a place to get rid of offcuts as we're not going through it as fast as we make it given the trees that need thinning and taken out on the property each year to maintain the forest. I've got to put a micro hydro in the creek so I can get that electric bill down even lower and not resort to my solar rig/generator to run the electrics on the boiler when the power goes out. After watching the whole video...We have a new model Central Boiler that does wood gasification. Upside; it does a fantastic job of burning the wood and gases which results in nearly no smoke and a significantly more efficient burn. That pile of wood you have there would be at least two years, maybe three for us. The downside; it's all programmatically controlled so there is more to go wrong if something breaks. We're building our house right now (currently it's heating the building our RV is in that we're living in while we build) and it will heat the house, domestic hot water, my shop, and possibly enough to get a few more months out of a green house.

Lots of good info Joe, including the pros and cons of an O.W.F. Elaine from Canada here, I see you’re wearing a coat! I love the notion that all your off-cuts and rot wood are still a valuable commodity to you to keep your family warm. Great use of your resources. Nice video, have a good week.👍

Super interesting content, as usual! As others have said, a modern gasification burner would dramatically reduce the fuel required, and properly insulated underground piping would dramatically reduce it again!

Great video! What I value the most with burning wood is that I control my heat source.

I put my outdoor stove in 2018. Love it. And when I put in in I put block to get it up higher so when I feed it wood I won't be bent over at all

My Army roommate lives is a small town, lower tier Western NY State, and the family owns a mountain. When he carved out his homestead, he put in radiant heating, and an outdoor boiler like this. It’s always toasty. His shop heat is huge suspended radiators, with big blowers, and when he cranks the valve for that it comes directly off the boiler. You roast in no time, and then he closes it down to a trickle. Wood heat is a way of life in that area of the USA. “Get yer Deer?”, and “Get yer wood in?” are the two most common questions, and if you’re too old or physically unable, your neighbors will always help you out.

Great video Joe. A good friend of mine has a outdoor wood boiler, a non gasification unit by Central Boiler, and he said he uses roughly 10-12 cords a year, varies based on species but he is likes to have 20 plus cords at the ready and plenty more ready to be cut. He is also in touch with a few farmers near him and gets all he wants at the cost of the work. Win-win for them both. I personally do not heat with wood as of last year due to a divorce but I still help him out and get a load of wood for camp fires, I call that time my chain saw therapy time. I truly enjoy cutting, splitting, stacking, etc. Soon to be 42 but I enjoy the work. I also work at a lumber yard so being outside is my happy place. 👍🏻 Great video as always with great truthful information. 👍🏻

This is our 46th year burning wood in zanesville,ohio,,,we buy 2 loads of OAK each winter,,cost is $400.00,,so nice and warm,,i brag on our WOODCHUCK stove ,,lots of work,but the savings is well worth it,,love your videos,,Happy Holidays,CRIP

Good points! I love heating with wood. I have a log splitter and chainsaw it can add up. But there is no bill! I still hve heat bill because of electrical. I agree with some people that say it’s still expensive and more work. But I agree with you saying you can control your temperature and be independent! Awesome job!

We have a Central Boiler 560. It is very efficient. We keep the house at 70 degrees and as you, we heat our water. I use well seasoned firewood and I use around 20 to 22 pieces of split firewood every 36 hours. Our house is 2200 square feet. Also, I agree with you calling it free heat.

Love it. I want one of those hooked up to a wood kiln, dryer, hot water heater, and house hydronic heater!

I agree!! Keep house and water hot! Fill boiler about 1430hrs and a partial fill about 0800 hrs. Use around 7 cord a winter.have around 17 cord in wood shed.

Great summary of the pluses and minuses for wood furnaces, Joe. “Free” is rarely free. 👍

Another great video Joe ! I agree with you about sorting out all the ugly firewood and not delivering it to your customers. I heat my barn with the rejects. I get almost no shorts/cookies in my process. Years ago I started making 20-22", 24", and 30" firewood for the customers with huge fireplaces. Long firewood is faster to make and minimizes short cutoffs. Longer firewood also sells for a higher price because nobody does it, and has it available and dry.

Just viewed you're video, more power to you! Your honesty i appreciate in you're description of the boiler, pros and cons. Thank you, you're a youngster to me friend, im well over 70.👍🇺🇸✝️

*Grandpa generates almost a 55 gallon drum of oil a year from changing fluids in our vehicles and all of his various pieces of construction equipment. He took a roll of copper tubing and some fittings and made a waste oil burner on the shop wood boiler. Now he is thinking about converting the oil into bio-diesel since the price is around $5 a gallon for diesel fuel.*

I like the outdoor burner but like you said you have to keep them running. I use an indoor wood furnace that's wired up on a thermostat. If theres a wood fire going the gas furnace will shut down.. but if I'm sleeping or gone no sweat the propane furnace runs. Saves us a lot of gas

For anyone thinking about getting an outdoor wood burner check with your local zoning. Many places are outlawing them because of the pollution problem. I heat exclusively with wood but I have a small indoor wood stove inside of my tiny house. I’m estimating that I won’t even go through one cord of wood this year. And I live in a very cold northern climate.

Taco is the brand of manufacture. They are known for efficient circulation. Your lucky in the fact that your components are pretty much off the shelf universal replacements. The air blower is the weak point, but probly the easiest to improvise Keep up the good work.

We are north of Central Ohio, heat 100% with an indoor wood furnace (we do have propane in the event we need it). I prefer to get logs, cut and split my own wood. Our big problem this fall was sourcing logs for the '23/'24 seasons. I still have several requests out to local loggers/ tree service companies down our way to get load of logs. Seems to be slim pickings this year. But great set up. I absolutely agree with you, if you heat with wood, firewood will become your hobby.

Thank you very much such an informative video I didn't know and then think of a lot of the points that you brought up I heat my house with 2 wood burners down here in the Ozarks and enjoy it but now that I'm 70 getting to be quite a bit of work easier to turn up the thermostat sometimes Thank you thank you again

I have a buck stove now for approx 10 years. And when u go out side and smell that wood burning u Love it. Friends next to me say they love it also. But I guess that would change if I threw a tire in there lol I have another stove I've been thinking about running some copper pipe threw to heat my water lol wife said no!! I SAY what she don't know won't hurt her rofl Love the video and your humor. GOD Bless

I bought my first Hardy in 1992, total cost including installation was $3200. I have my second Hardy at a different location and it has been in service since 2001. Here in Western Kentucky, our winters are not terrible, but the furnace will devour the wood. Great video

I have an outdoor wood boiler and I get my firewood for "free" from the local national/state forests. It's a lot of work for me because I have the bad habit of getting as much as I can haul on each trip (cut, split, load, haul, unload, stack). Some of the advantages of outdoor wood boilers are that all the mess, smoke, soot, ash, carbon monoxide/dioxide, etc. are all outside so there is little chance of sickness or catching your house on fire. I've saved a lot of money in the last 10 years just from from burning "free" firewood. I have some investment in gas, equipment, time, wear-and-tear, etc. but where I live my alternative is fuel oil or propane. My electric bill only goes up $10/mo. in the winter. Saving money is my side hustle.

❤️❤️great idea! My step dad built something similar. He put a big tank in the ground that holds the circulating water. The. Coils that heat the water are in the big fireplace. The water heats in the fireplace and travels to baseboard heat dispensers. (Not sure what else to call them,). The hot water travels to each room and back into the tank that's in the ground. It's a continuous cycle of hot water. Since you use an outside burner instead of a fireplace inside the house you lose a lot of heat. But great idea. Keep looking for that wood. Also you could run a continuous ad (that cost a little money) for free wood. People will call you after a storm. You could travel to hurricane, tornado damage places close to you and pick up fallen trees. Just saying.

If you built a box around it with a space heater may allow you to go on vacation. You may also benefit using a gadifier system. You can run a truck on a gasifier also.

We have a bunch of those in our area. They are amazing heaters. You can burn pallets, pine, tires...anything.

Great vid! Bates Distributors in Philadelphia Mississippi is now handling the OEM parts if you did not know. although you can get all the replacement parts at a supply house, probably cheaper if you know what youre looking for. If you go to a plumbing supply house, make sure you know the actual names of the parts you need before hand, you'll get better help from the people there.

I watched your video on free heat and everything you said is true. I've had a boiler since 06.

Some places aren't connected too gas which is handy because they've normally got access too wood fallen and dead trees..my.brother said too me years ago that gas would become too expensive , but that was in the 1980s , did I listen , no , but I have a wood stove now ...thanks for sharing .

A fascinating account of your burner. Thanks for posting, learned a lot from this.

You're 100% correct on Free heat. Yes it is easier to pay the oil supplier. If you have to buy wood for your supply. Go with oil or gas. It's so nice when your house is at 75-76. And when negative temps come you don't even notice it. We burned small pine ice storm damage wood. With an endless supply who's counting cords? After being disabled I had no choice to turn on the oil furnace.

Very great info! Few questions, how many cords do you think you burn? do you have back up heat for the house? what if you lose power in the winter?

Nice setup 👍. Must be great to be able to pretty much burn anything in there. Fibre that you wouldn’t be caught dead throwing in a wood stove must suit that thing just fine. I definitely prefer the feel of the cozy heat coming off an interior wood stove. That being said, living up in northern B.C. Canada, I could probably get away with being able to use both during the really cold stretches, and not have to worry about overcooking on the days when it’s too warm out to run a Blaze King.

Nice setup Joe- Hopefully next year I’m going to get a outdoor wood boiler installed. The newer ones are much more efficient and cleaner burning.

Central Boiler makes a very efficient outdoor boiler, however they are expensive to. Great show, thanks.

Thanks Joe, outstanding video review. Great honest review 👍👍on your experience with the firewood boiler. Keep up the great work 💪💪

The absolute truth! After a 30 year run with a woodmaster 4400 it gave up on me and I went to price a replacement..sticker shock! lol..I decided to not go back with a boiler as a result and instead went with a Blaze King catalytic combuster indoor stove...glad I did! Far less wood consumption! Great video!

My house is 75 degrees with below freezing temps outside. Setup my boiler 8 years ago and have no regrets. You’ve to do your maintenance ( cleaning) on a scheduled basis.

The newer, well-designed gasification outdoor wood burners are practically the exact opposite. The exhaust starts by going out the bottom with the ashes through the re-burner chamber and it only gets out the smokestack about 15 feet later! Wood has to be dry of course or it would mess up that entire system but other than that, it's super efficient. I rarely put all good hardwood in, like you, I have plenty of wood that doesn't make the cut, but if I do, a full box will last for a good 16 hours on an average northern WI winter day, just heating a house and the hot water. Box isn't that large either, maybe 28 to 30 inches square (cubed). Heatmaster 7000 is the model and I guess it has one of the better style heat exchangers that can be cleaned easily of any build up. Firebox stays cool from about half way up because all the heat is going downward so there's never an issue of heat or fire coming out the door.

Joe, I know the new ones are way more expensive, but they are more efficient as well. Your needed wood supply would be considerably less. They do require seasoned dry wood though, so no splitting one day and throwing into the boiler the next day. Great video Joe.

You go bro I have been using and outdoor woodstove for 15 years , burning whatever I can can get for free , pine , pallets , etc etc . Mine is a HICKS out of my airy nc . Love love love mine . Works very similar to your hardy . 700 and 900 electric and gas To 175 ish . Best investment ever . Paid for it in 3 ish seasons . You are correct on that shower lol Tree services round here ( swva ) Will drop it off right at my door , cut to length ( some ) I've split sawn for ehh 2 hours today , aprox. 1 quart of gas , and have 3 weeks to a month of heat , hot water for fam. Of 4 again love love . Make a wind break tee on top yours , will slow consumption to about half what your using. Blessing G n va

I have a furnace add on in a single car garage. Paid 10$ on auction. Blows heat into my basement and keeps my other double garage 70-80° all winter. Its nice getting into a warm car. My neighbor has a stove like the one shown in the video except 4 to 6 times larger. Heats a huge shop and his house both. It forces air also. It will burn almost anything but uses tons of wood. His unit that accepts the water in the house is also hooked up to lp for when he isn't using wood. He's not gunning now because we don't have snow on the ground and he worries about dead grass by the shop starting a fire. His has a bout a 15 foot stack ant shoots flames out the top a few feet. Neighbors here are separated by at least 3/4 mile. The square mile i live in has a population of 7. Three separate couples and me and my dogs. I also run a Gibraltar in a mobile home where I reload and a lopi in my wood working shop. I have a beautiful hearthstone that is just sitting in a semi trailer. For sale.

i miss my wood furnace. i built my own took me a full yr but loved it.

Friends of mine did the exact same thing. They are offered wood in order to clear or clean up the land.

Hi Joe - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. I have heated totally by wood since retirement nearly 20 years ago. Like you, I consider it is free heat. I burn 8 cords a year, which takes me say 10 days to process but heck, everybody needs a hobby. I split for a guy who also provides my wood in addition to paying me, I buck logs for another guy and sharpen chains for a third fellow. My firewood hobby provides me all my heat and say $3000 pocket money annually, down from circa $25k when I stopped processing 150 cords a year in 2017 - due to my wonky right knee!

Been to a friend church in Cherry valley. Saw billboards for that shop. My broinlaw built his own from an old wood stove.

I always look to learn something new. I really enjoyed this video. You are very informative

I have one also, I took my single wall pipe off and put a double wall insulated pipe on ours. Works great

I think that sounds wonderful sir. I don't have a wood furnace, but I do have a fireplace that runs almost 24 7 here in PA for most of the winter and early spring for that matter. I'm not 100% independent of the gas bill...but it keeps my gas bill manageable at like $150-$200 or so. I bought the wood burner as soon as I got the house. I have no idea how much it costs to heat this place without the fireplace and I'm not interested in finding out! I keep the house at like 63-68 degrees but wish I could afford to have it up to 80

I love your Video, at the Moment i have to pay for heat, but your video inspires me. Thanks from Germany! 😉

Woodruff woods did a nice, comprehensive list last week, comparing the cost of different kinds of wood species to normal heating, both in energy density and price for his cut and seasoned firewood. According to his numbers, even then, firewood is almost always cheaper. Of course, energy price and firewood prices vary from region, season and in time. So always do your own calculations.

I used to run an outdoor wood boiler. I own a small business and I was taking time off (at $1000 loss per day) to go fell trees, haul them a couple miles home, split, stack, load the thing 3 times a day/night, and clean the boiler frequently. Let's not forget the additional expenses of treating the water to prevent the tank from rusting, or the fact that these do take electricity to run fan(s) and pump(s) and then the fan inside the air handler in the house. I now run an outdoor pellet stove instead, so yes I have to pay for 3-4 tons of pellets per season (about $800 this year), but I only have to stack those pallets of pellets once for the season and then I load the 48-bushel hopper ONCE per month. I still have to clean the unit weekly but there is so much less ash and soot that I'm done in 10 minutes and I'm not covered in soot. Gosh that's a lot of TIME savings that translates into MONEY saved! Nothing is free, my friend. EDIT: Central Boiler Maxim M255 PE (96% efficiency rating and eligible for 26% Tax credit)(does NOT belch smoke like a wood boiler, in fact barely noticeable).

I have a woodstove and plenty of forever firewood. Lots of trees on my property to resupply and season. No money spent on electricity to power my woodstove. Hot water comes from the huge pot on the woodstove. I am on grid in a rural area but practice living an off grid lifestyle most of the time.

I just found you on here and I'm impressed! I like your style and like learning from older folks. Well older than me that is lol not calling you old! Great video, God bless you and your family in Jesus name Amen! Stay warm.

Yeah, burning self cut wood is where it's at. I've been burning for heat for over 50 years. Didn't burn in the house when I was a kid, but once married, the wife and I love to use the woodstove !! I just use a regular woodstove in the basement and use fans to move the air. I live in Maryland, so I only use 2-3 cords a year. I also keep the heat pump temperature set between 60-65 in case the fire goes out. My main concern is losing power and not having the heat. We had an ice storm in 93-95 (?) and didn't have power for 4 days. We cooked and heated with the stove, dried our clothes from kids in the now, and more. I'll NEVER have a home without alternative heat !!

It's a very nice set up Joe. It's very like my internal stove. It does my hot water which then pumps round my radiators and keeps doing that while the fires on and you are right the warmest water the deepest hottest baths in my area. And like u mine is definitely hungry. I try to get all my wood for free because it doesn't care what u feed it. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

Living in Canada I have a gasification unit heating a two hundred year old 3000 Sq foot home on about 6 bush cord. Alot of municipalities up here have banned boilers unless they're gasification units

Good video & appreciate the commentary. Agree with you , ya can not beat wood geat . But your advice is very true. It works for your conditio s but not for everyone. Enjoy that heat & especially thosehof showers . koodoos to you .

hi there i can relate to all you said . i heat the garage and a small green house . 25 -30 years when i built mine there was no pex , but the good thing i did was filled mine with antifreeze . back then it was only 150 -200 a gallon . mix it 50/50 i only needed around 60 gallons . still using the same a/f . . yours should back feed if your low temp doesn't cut the pump from running , the return on money should be just about the same with the current price of fuel . 700 per gallon here right now . may be kick backs for renewable heat source . how much does your elec. bill go down when you fire the tea kettle up . good show john

Personnel I use what's called an earth wood stove. It's not the most efficient wood stove because it doesn't have all those baffles that can get clogged up, but it keeps my small studio apartment that's located inside my 40x60 steel building nice and toasty warm. My wood comes from the trees I cut down that I don't cut into boards on my sawmill.plenty of trees falling down on their own to help curb my tree felling. I supplement my wood heat with a 30,000 but propane heater.

My friend does this up n. People where I live cut up & take the cut logs from the local parks. The city cuts the wood and leaves a pile. Others come get it and the city comes and cleans up the saw dust .

An outdoor wood boiler is very handy to have, Safety is very important you have to know what your doing,

If the outside surface feels hot you are losing heat that way also. Thank you for the basic information about boilers.

Hello Milo, I have heated my home with a heat pump and wood stove for nearly fifty years. The wood comes from trees that fall on our property every year. My costs over that time are equipment and labor. But I love cutting and splitting and the smell of fresh firewood. And I'd rather cut firewood instead of paying for a gym membership. Shalom/gw PS Happy Thanksgiving from our house to your house. ;-))

Good video , I have had a central boiler since 04 , very efficient, I heat 3 floors and 30×56 shop , domestic water , roughly 13 cords cause I burn all year round , must say one of my better investments. Our last oil bill before the furnace was 1.66 a gal.😂 again great videos

TACO is a Brand Name Joe...LOL. A freeze protection is to leave the Pumps running 24/7 Moving Water will not Freeze (to a Point) Mine ruining 24/7 keeps the water Hot at the Domestic Water Heat exchanger and uses the Temperature differential to move Water with out the Circ Pump running on the Tank side. I turned on the Pump once to get the Water moving, and it has been off since then. My flat Plate Heat Exchanger is near the Floor and gets a lot of thermal Gain from the Boiler Water to get it flowing through the System 50 year old Knee's LOL Mine are 62. I am raising My Wood Stove up 2 Courses of Concrete block to lessen the Kneeling down to put Wood in. Mike M.

The Taylor wood boiler is a great outside stove very good heat n domestic hot water endless hot water. We use to buy them over in Ohio called Bruns Taylor wood stoves. . And sold all the parts n goodies

As a 40 years plus home made wood boiler user, (who deals with similar lame comments about my wood not being free, even though it's deadfall on my own property, or scrap lumber on construction sites I'm already at anyway doing crane work, and often am getting paid crane time WHILE I pick up the wood) I finally got around just a couple weeks ago to rigging up a drip waste oil system. WELL WORTH DOING! You will use less wood, and I have yet to smell a burning oil smell. I wish I had done it decades ago! Nice stove BTW.

Thank you for sharing I have never seen anything like it

Where I live you can get a permit for 10 cords ( dead and down trees in disignated areas) for 20bucks. Chains/gas/ chainsaw is pretty much all you need as well as a trailer to fit alot of logs. Alot of work but well worth it.

As my wife always says, "Free is only the cheese in a mousetrap!" Loving our free heat too, tho ours is a gasifier boiler in the basement with 500 gals of storage making it extremely efficient Definitely a lifestyle choice. I guess you wouldn't want to feed yours with "value added" firewood! :)

I actually looked into this and many other types of fuel for heating. All types including this have a startup cost so it's not really free. I went with more of a insulation approach and solar approach. Windows are specially made to provide warmth and energy supplied to batteries for emergency backup and for a 1700 sq ft home in the middle of nowhere, I can run a 1500w heater to keep the entire house a relative 70f which is about 50 bucks a month if run off the company or free if ran from my battery supply. I also have a backup heating pipe system fueled by wood just in case of a real emergency that also heat the house very well, pushed through by a 10w pc fan.

I forgot to mention we've heated with wood for 40 years and loved every minute of it. Brent

I built my own system and heat my home and 2 car garage (1670sq ft) on 4 cord a year in NW Ohio. Mine is a wood burner with a self designed heat exchanger with duct work and thermostatically controlled fans. That said, the best investment I made was 14 inches of insulation in the attic and new windows. The only issue I have is having to refuel the stove every 3.5 hours which was a sacrifice for making the system efficient.

That's some serious firewood, I had no idea what it took. That's quite a system. I appreciate the info down in MO Ozarks, recommended by my nephew up in Utica ny

I can't wait for the day that I'm piling up wood for my boiler. Just a wood stove for now and only in a room in the barn to come in and warm up when I'm out working in the cold. I'm estimating that I am producing 6 cords of boiler wood a year just from firewood scraps. I give it all to my buddy now who heats his house with it.

Im very impressed I wish I had a furnace like that with no gas bill this is a good video.

And look at u now i bet ur sellin wood like its gold this year. Man you couldnt be in a better business in 2022

Looks like it’s maded to fit your lifestyle Hard work will not hurt you but will keep you alive longer

BTW(x2), 160° is the temp my blower kicks on and shuts down at 172°. This is our 19th heating season with ours. I'm thinking of upgrading our lines soon, we'll see if that happens.

Really enjoyed this video, no BS just straight facts , I Love my Lopi (Inside) wood stove, I guess that will be the next thing "UNCLE" cuts saying the smoke is bad for the environment, actually this is under consideration, coal, Natural Gas, and other things are to be cut.

I wonder if you insulated it (or at least build a wind break), would it save you some blower energy and thus electricity? I've been looking at these types of systems for over a decade but I'm old, so I need perfect storms to change by power/heat structures. (We have an insert downstairs that helps on really cold nights, get the house nice and toasty and don't feel a pinch in the pocket.)

I heat my house, it NE PA, with a woodstove insert I installed in the livingroom fireplace 14 years ago. I have an all-electric house with ceiling-radient heating. I can heat the house solely with wood if I use two floor fans to move the air around. I cut less than three cords of wood a year. I have my own land so the wood is free except for the cost of cutting it.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Great video! Thanks! Good, straight, Midwestern talk. 👏🏾👏🏽👏🏼👏👏🏻👏👏🏼👏🏽👏🏾 💡If you’re really heating the ground that much in the winter, why not consider building a winter garden greenhouse? If the grass is green and growing while the surrounding ground is covered with snow, I imagine you could grow vegetables, especially onions, potatoes, carrots, beets, mustards and other leafy greens. Just an idea…💡

Thanks for the tour of your furnace!! We heat with the wood stove and I love our free heat!!🔥🪵

we used to trade 1 cord for 3 from alot of places or pay around 5-10 a cord sell for 180-240 delivered for hep for over 20 years

I do have the same system at my farm in IOWA.

I had an Empyre Cozeburn for 14 winters. Burned around 12 cords a year. I sold it and bought a Crown Royal MP 7300. Now I burn around 8 cords a year and the house is warmer. It will pay for itself in 4 or 5 years.

My brother just uses a wood stove inside his house, and I have never smelt any smoke inside the house ever, and its much more efficient when its inside the house as the stove itself that sits inside heats up, then heats the home from the inside. You don't have lines going through the elements either. I bet its about 50% more efficient if not 60%.
