« on: December 10, 2012, 10:50:19 AM »
I'm 42 and my dad is 69. We both have Natures Comfort GT-220s. My dad still cuts wood and is healthier now than when he didn't own one. I think the idle time during the long winter months was wearing on him and depression was setting in. He's had a wood boiler for the last 4 years and is in a lot better shape.
For me, i need the excercize during the winter months to keep off the fat! I enjoy getting outside and cutting wood!

The claims are true. Natures Comfort worked hard all summer to design and build the New GT-250. All of the testing has passed for the EPA Phase 2. They are currently finalizing the paper work through the EPA. Look for the GT-250 to be listed as qualified in the next few weeks!

Scott7m, I am sorry to hear about your misfortunes!
I only sold 1 NCB-120 in 2008. It is a neighbor of mine who owns it. He hasn't had any issues with the front door warping or any of the problems you indicated. He is heating a 1600 ft house, DHW and plans to heat his garage also this year. He is very happy with the performance of the NCB-120.
Since 2008 Nature's Comfort has redesigned the NCB-120 and it is one of my best sellers. It is a very good entry level wood boiler with a price under $5000.
Sincerely,
Mike

Wow, I feel sorry for the manufactures that build wood boilers with out grates. How does the wood burn? Lol The only wood that didn't burn in my NCB-250 was water logged.
All conventional (updraft) wood boilers work on the same premis, add wood, fire, air and try to extract as much heat as possible before the gasses excape out the chimney. Nature's Comfort has invested a lot of time and money in the developement of the NCB series wood boilers. They used computer modeling to show the flow of the water through the water jacket and used diverters to force the water in the hot areas to extract as much heat as possible. Even the chimney water jacket was computer modeled to promote water heat extraction.
I have been a territory manager for Nature's Comfort since 2008 and I can tell you that the latest generation of NCB boilers are a very well designed boiler. Not only did Nature's Comfort try to make a wood boiler with all the engineered benifits but they also listened to the customer feed back and implimented common sense features. The boilers are lazer cut, and robot welded. The craftsmenship of the parts are consistant enough to exchage from one unit to another without any misalignment. The electronics are simple in design yet versatile enough to allow a generator back up.
With all that said, I also know the some of the other manufactures also build a good quality wood boiler. It all comes down to the customer preference and the biggest bang for the money. Its no different than Chevy vs Ford or Dogde!

All of the boilers are built in Indiana now. The NCB-250 is a great boiler. I used one and had no problem loading it. It has a large door for laoding and you can throw 4' long pieces in it. The NCB-250 is the same boiler as the NCB-175 but a foot longer.

You may be getting some scaling in the pump bearings. Sometimes you can pull the pump apart and clean the bearings with vinegar.

I got a cone splitter for sale. It is a Bark Buster. All it needs is a pto shaft. I decided to persue a hydraulic 4 way log splitter with a log lift.

The NC325G has a 1/4 firebox and a water jacket around the chimney to reclaim the heat before it escapes out the chimney. Nature's Comfort has a computer model of the waterflow inside the boiler. They use this modeling software to determine where to put deverters in the waterflow stream so there is a consistant temperature throughout the boiler. The NC325G also has a secondary air tube at the top of the firebox to help promote gasification. All of the NC boilers are lazer cut and robot welded.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: Ok im thinking about being a dealer
« on: February 27, 2011, 11:15:00 AM »
I have been a dealer for two full years now and starting into my third year. I carry a full time job as an engineer so the wood boiler sales is a hobby business. I enjoy selling wood boilers but the biggest problem I face is affording the insurance. I have to carry 1 million of liability, insure my backhoe tractor and insure my truck and trailer.
I sell Nature's Comfort wood boilers and have no problem with warranty coverages. Yes, you will get some customers that are never happy but in general most of my customers are quite please with the wood boiler's performance.
Going into my third year I hope my only expenses are insurance and gas for my truck. I do have my own web site and do some advertising but not a lot. I am now starting to get more quotes from potential customers that seen a wood boiler from my old customers. I also hoping for more sales this year because the price of corn and gas are going up!
