I purchase my BL28-40 directly from the factory last fall. I met Richard at the Common Ground Fair and was on the phone the following Monday to order my boiler. I was concerned that we do not have any P&M dealers in CT. But after meeting Richard my fears were put to rest. It was his wealth of knowledge, passion for what he does, and the fact that he is always just a phone call away if you have any questions that made us comfortable with our purchase. He was kind enough to stop by our farm in November while he was in the area attending a trade show. He left me with some fittings for our Logstar piping and walked me through the install even though it was 25 miles out of his way. Customer service like that is hard to find these days. We were not close to firing up our boiler when he was here so I had several questions along the way. whenever I called Richard he was always there with good sound advice. I hope the folks at P&M realize what an asset they have in Richard.
I know we certainly do.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Sealing Basement Wall

« on: October 31, 2014, 06:39:49 PM »

I am working on installing my P&M BL 28-40. We live in an old farmhouse built in 1780. It has the old stone foundation with a cement block wall built inside of it. I had a 9" hole bored through the wall ( it was almost 3' thick) that I plan on running the my logstar owb. pipe, 3 - 1" well pipes, 2 - 1" pvc. electrical conduits, and 1 - 1 1/2" pvc electrical conduit. The way my house is situated I only have access to one small area on the north side to run all my mechanicals into the basement. What would be the best way to attempt to seal this mass of pipes?
I had to make the hole 42" below grade to ensure that the water lines don't freeze. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the info.
I am assuming that I would be on my own as far as customer service since they are no longer in business. And also are parts still available for these units if needed?

Someone selling a Sequoya 3400 wood boiler that was purchased new but never installed.
Asking price is 8k. (paid 12k new) Any opinions on these units? It's been listed for quite awhile and I wonder if the price is to high.
I did an internet search and could not find any dealers for this brand.
Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks everyone for the info. Those Portage and Main units do look pretty nice. I may take you CT guys  up on the offer to view your burners in action. This farm is a dream come true for us and I am determined to set it up right. I will continue my research and will no doubt have more questions as we proceed.

Thanks Again

Hello Everyone,

We are in the process of purchasing a farm in southern New England.
It has close to thirty acres that are wooded. (plenty of wood available) The home is approx. 2800 sq. ' was built in the late 1800s but has been updated with new windows insulation etc. We will be constructing a 30x 50  metal building to be used for equipment storage / produce packing shed. We also will be adding a small poly greenhouse approx. 20x30 that we would to heat as well.
I am looking at Woodmaster as they have a dealership in our area.
Looking for advice regarding the following.

1) Size of the unit.
a) Looking at either the woodmaster 4500 or 5500
b) I know  we don't want an undersize unit, but what are the disadvantages of an oversized unit?

2) Best system for the metal building (radiant in the concrete or ceiling mounted fan unit)

3) Opinions on woodmaster units.

4) Any other general advice.

We will not be taking possession of the property till Feb. and would be looking to install in the summer/ fall of 2014.
