I burn wood and have for most of the 12 years I've lived at my house. I'm currently hooking up an indoor wood boiler with 500+ gallons of pressurized storage. I hope to be able to heat all of the radiant floor and domestic hot water with it. The storage and pumping arrangements i have are geared towards a gasification boiler in the future. The boiler I currently have is an older non gasification type.

The person I bought it from said it burned wood like crazy and would barely keep up to his load on even a warm day. When I looked at his piping and pump setup I almost laughed. 3/4 pipe all over the place an long runs to boot. I'm not sure what it was hooked to in the house but in the garage there were baseboard heaters with more of the fins smashed down than were in good shape. He told me good luck and how much wood he was going to save with the new outdoor boiler.

I paid him for the old one and went on my way.

Do some reading. It's just like anything there are good and bad ways to do it all. Outdoor boilers that are a box full of water with a fire inside and a short stack aren't it.
