Anyone ever hear of this company? I think these guys are on the path to the "next generation" of what our future might hold. On top of having a really cool looking, very efficient boiler, they make an automatic wood loader! It can go days without having to think about it. Something to realize, our younger generation is getting lazy. Either way id never own one but it is pretty darn cool. Btw the burn chamber on a few of their models is 7/8" thick v shaped so you will never have your wood "bridge".
I am very excited for the future! This is something I would very well consider. According to the EPA this is the cleanest burning stove available I guess.
Here's some of the features
1. Large, gas-piston assisted, loading door
2. Inverted cone-shaped loading chamber promotes wood
free-fall without ‘bridging’
3. Loading chamber, the most vulnerable part of any wood
boiler, is 10 to 20 mm thick. (3/8" to7/8")
4. Ceramic honey-combed is readily accessible for easy ash
removal.
5. Robust embossed aluminum boiler jacket.
6. Primary & secondary air preheated by passing under
cyclonic combustion chamber.
7. Secondary combustion chamber. CO and organics
consumed.
8. Primary air intake – actuator driven. Closed off when
loading wood to eliminate smoke rollback
9. Pre-heated secondary air blended with wood gas at entry
to secondary combustion chamber.
10. Flue gas temperature based thermo-difference control
monitors and regulates combustion.
11. Combusted flue-gases pass through turbulators to
maximize thermal efficiency
12. Heat exchangers located above secondary combustion
eliminates condensing.
13. Single integrated control mounted to top of boiler.
14. Industrial top-mount inducer allows for venting in mutiple directions.
15. Thermal safety heat exchanger.
16. Heavy, high quality, mineral wool insulation reduces boiler radiation losses.
17. The embossed aluminum jacket gives the DRUMMER a robust look that is impact resistant and free of
corrosion.
