I have my boiler part way inside my wood shed also wood shed is 12x18 fully inclosed lean two style shed it will hold about 4 cord of wood I have a 9 ft sliding door on the high side and a small walk in door on the low side right off the driveway. i have a greenhouse exust fan in the roof streight above boiler door to vent any smoke out of the shed. built this like this so the wife would be out of the weather when she has to load the stove. I will try to get some photos loaded.

Hi just though i would respond to your post about flat plate exchangers i use a 20 plate exchanger in my system hooked up damand to the water heater. I tested it by running the hot water in the shower and the kitchen sink at the same time for over an hour and never ran out of hot water or with a temp change.
