i have a wood master - non-pressurized system
very much like the central boiler one described below - heat exchanger into the radiator, heats hot water as well
there is a company - i want to say it is aquatherm - that sells pressurized systems w/ no heat exchanger - i think they called it a "closed" system- circulates directly in your radiator - remember an advantage to this system was you could buy the boiler w/o the metal hut around it, just w/ insulation and install it in a garage/shed, by doing this you saved $1500 or so

you can find pages and pages and pages of research about if OWF are a good alternative, how dirty or how c lean they are etc...

i would not go backto paying for oil
but if you do get an OWF a few things, and i think owners will agree,
a) like said below - do not skimp on the insulated pipe running to the heat exchanger, it is worth the investement...i lose a degree or two on a 75" run...that"s it.
b) only purchase an OWF if you have a readily availible supply of wood...they are hungry!
c) do not install if you have "neighbors"...people putting them in bad spots is what gives them a bad name, when they are burning they burn clean and hot but when the stove kicks on initially and kick off, they give a burst of smoke
d) do your research...it is tough because every company has literature supporting why theirs is the best...but it is a lot like tractors - where is your closest, reliable dealer. who is still going to be there in 5-7-15 years.

Today's Featured Article - A Farmall Story - by Ed Meadors. The year was 1978. Our young family had recently moved to rural Chesapeake, Virginia to a plot of land which would finally allow us to realize our dreams of a huge garden, critters and more lawn and pasture than we would ever use! We needed a TRACTOR; not a riding mower or tractor wannabe, but a real TRACTOR. The answer to our needs materialized in the form of a '44 Farmall A, complete with cultivators, discs, single plow, a 5ft.Woods belly mower and one, mounted spare 9.00x24 rear wheel. ...
