Home Made / Re: Outdoor Wood Boiler from Junk
« on: April 19, 2014, 08:05:14 PM »
Hey guys thanks for all the info. I have slightly changed my plans around and am thinking about using the firebox from a summeraire add on wood furnace instead of the water heater tank. I can get the whole thing for $100 it has a 32" deep x 30" wide and 34" high firebox, already has a flue pipe (would need extension) a door and a controlled damper. The furnace is near new so not a burnt out piece of junk firebox. My only concern would be if this would be able to maintain decent burn time with this size box? It would be heating a small well insulated house and a 16x28 insulated shop. Thanks again for all the help.

Home Made / Outdoor Wood Boiler from Junk

Hi Folks,
New member, been reading on here a lot for the past month or so figured it was time to join. I am wanting to build a boiler to offset my large propane bill and don't have a lot of coin at the moment. I came across the outdoor wood boiler from junk on instructables.

I know it's not an efficient (at all) boiler set up, but I could build it with stuff on hand and I have enough sawmill slabs for 10 winters so wood cost is no issue. The aquastat and underground piping/wiring would all still be good for when I am able to build a better boiler in the future. I appreciate any advice, thanks a lot.
