General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: How to determine how many BTU I need
« on: May 16, 2008, 02:37:22 PM »
Do a complete heat loss for your house. Slant Fin (www.slantfin.com) and other sites have software to do this with...check also on heatinghelp.com.... a word to the wise: NEVER let an OWB dealer sell you a boiler based on how many S.F. you have. Too many variables. And keep in mind also that a OWB does not have a constant BTU output, nor does any other woodburning appliance.

Yes, I ran 12/2 UF to feed the whole boiler. I'm putting a separate disconnect switch on the woodshed near the boiler. Future add-ons..Plastic box to house a timer and bypass for timer, want to run the circs periodically to keep the water circulated and prevent stagnation.

NEC does not specifically address wood boilers, but it is not a bad idea to install a ground rod for lightning protection, especially if it is sitting out on an open area.
