You have recieved quite a few good, informative responses here. we have a woodmaster 4400 heats the house and hot water during the fall, winter and spring (upstate NY) installed it about 5 years ago, poured the pad ourselves and did the installation ourselves...i think the cost was in the $6000 range for the furnace and 125(?) feet of pipe - the pipe was the biggest expense but it worth it - it is 2 1" pex lines in plastic drain tile that is stuffed with insulation - it is very well insulated...we lose maybe a degree or two by the time the water gets to the heat exchanger in the basement. burn about 18-20 cord a year...oak, maple, beech, elm and whatever else happens to be down in the woods or free. - if you have to buy wood...DO NOT buy an outdoor wood boiler...you will lose money in this case. one thing mentioned in an earlier post was that the heat provided to the house is cooler...this is true - outdoor wood furnace circulates water into the house between 175 and 185 degrees (figured out how to tune it up 5 extra) whereas our oil furnace circuilates in the 205 range...so the radiators don't quite put as much heat if you have wood...and don't mind a little work...a lot of work....it is a great investment. as far as placement - know your wind and...if you have close neighbors...don't get one. but the smoke isn't nearly as bad in newer models as the older ones. also think about where you will store a ton of wood and how you will move it to the furnace - we use a covered wagon that holds about a cord and store the wood a short distance from the furnace...so have to fill up the wagon once a week or so...

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
