General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: Which OWB

« on: January 22, 2017, 07:39:10 PM »

I had a 12yr old Empyre that was 304 and cracked as well.   I just installed a Portage and Main BL 34-44 and so far, it has been a nice unit.  It only holds half the water as my Empyre, but seems to use a bit less wood.  Even though it is supposed to handle 8000sqft, I don't think it would handle the load as well as the Empyre.  I'm heating a 4000sqft house, 1000ft shop and have 2 hot water heaters supported.

Buy some coal.  Shovel a few pounds in and then set your wood on top.
