Ridgewood 6000
« on: September 14, 2014, 08:28:55 PM »
Ok guys it took me forever but I was able to afford a wood boiler and went with a Ridgewood 6000.  I'm thinking about 25 feet away from the house.  I'm planning on a 18 x 18 water to air coil and a plate exchanger for hot water.  I'm getting excited for my fresh install.   I kinda hope for a long cold winter it would make me feel better for spending so much for just heat and hot water. Haha

It's a 1500 main 1000 lower ranch house. Only 8 inches of blow in ceiling. I have 65 bags in my garage going in this weekend.

R12 in walls.

It's been going good so far but it has bet been that cold out, I have been only burning poplar so far and my wife keeps the house warm at night, 75.

It's a great purchase.

That's great news!  Where do you live and what are your outside temperatures?
