Eko and Dakon wood boilers?

EKO sells one model on eBay. Their contact person claimed that they sell their furnaces direct to the customers, rather than through a dealer network.

At around $4000 USD for a mid-sized boiler, these units sound interesting. Has anybody had any experience, positive or negative, with them?

For the money, a Harman would be a better known brand, with a wider dealer base & presence in the USA.....

I didn't like gassification models, typically very small fireboxes (need to make toothpicks for firewood!) and are very fussy to have only good wood. No paper, etc. stuff. Not as fussy as catalytic stoves of course.

Sure would want to know more data than they provide to buy such a major item?

I have a lot to learn about boilers before next fall, by which time I plan to have one installed, so I'll be looking for input. In the meantime I plan to cut my wood at 16" and fairly small in diameter. Bigger blocks save time but they are pretty heavy for the fair gender to lift. (Lazy grin here).
