WAY OT: Outdoor Boilers

60A 220...  It's extremely efficient, but it's a big tub (550 gal) which we use a LOT (like 4+ X per week)

Jeez, I would have guessed you'd wired it 120v at that dollar figure!

 I put in a wood stove insert in our basement/bar/Stumpy's pub :) I put it in as a second heat source, we really got our use out of it. It has a big bay window so looks cool too. Its about 60% efficient but does help to take the chill out. I just got a face cord delivered for 50 bucks, If I had the time I would have got my own wood this summer, oh wait I did! But they have metal CCS plates screwed to them ;D

I wonder if it would've just been cheaper to burn $50.00 bills instead of going thru all that work to get the wood  :-/


 ;D :P

Isn't it snowmobile racing season up there  ???  Watch out for the snow cows.   Huntin' season is upon us, and they be jumpin outta trees  :o

In my last house, I had an insert and it provided 100% of the heat for my house which was awesome.  However, the layout of my current mansion (compound is probably a better description) isn't conducive to a woodstove.  

I have a fireplace which has a blower, but it's pretty much just for show.  It's nice, but it roasts out the room which has the thermostat in it and the rest of the house dips to freezing...

Ever see the movie "The Other's"?  that's about the layout of my house.  As I count right now, excluding the pantry & basement, the house has 17 rooms.  All of them have doors (and they ALL have key locks).  The whole joint can be sectioned off...
