Hi I'm in the market to buy a new outdoor furnace. My house is new with 6" foam insulation and a full basement. Total of 3800 sf. My utility bills aren't horrible but high enough in the winter months. I've looked at most outdoor wood furnaces but can't decide on one. Any honest advice is appreciated.

Jared,
welcome to the site... first ? is can you run reg owd boiler or are you in the epa states?  2 nd ? is look at all your option see what boilers would work best for you....open system or pressurized. they will all last a long time if taken proper maintance of. I went with an indoor model in an insulated jacket..that is pressurized unit.. When I get my shop finished this spring I will get the hot water from boiler plus get the conventional heat off boiler door, stack as well.....this was best suited for me and was backed with a 20 year nonprorated warranty.....I happen to know the owner of the company as well... I wish you the best of luck there are a lot to choose from....lol, if you need any info on my style boiler let me know....but I am not a dealer...
