Small companies come and Go all the time.  It's a toss up as to whether they'll be here next week or not. 

Natures comfort does have an economy boiler, it has everything it needs to work as long as your not heating over 2500-3000 square feet.  It has an aquastat, forced draft, all the things it takes to make it work.  The only thing it doesn't have is an ash pan.  However for those wanting a economy based stove from a bigger manufacturer, there hard to beat.  $3880 plus shipping

Scott7m...thank you very much...there is a rep in my town of Caro mi. he is going to put a packet together and will meet him on wed...he has a md 80...my house is under 2000 sf...Poorboy

The fans on an air furnace blow air, they have a duct fan that ties into the duct work.  There a joke


In regards to the ridge wood stove, it's not capable of burning off the gases.  It's a conventional boiler, conventionals that have forced air under and over the fire can burn some gases, but this model no.

Scott...thanks for the info on smoke reburn...all I am trying to do is to find accual pros and cons on ridgewood stoves...I am sure if you google you will find something wrong or a customer dislike on any brand...thanks Scott...Poorboy

With all due respect you have not answered my question...and you haven't backed up your words...Poorboy

Hi poorboy, i'm running the ridgewood 7500 (2nd year) 2 buildings plus dom. water. furnace sits 200 ft. from house, no problems what so ever, my buddies with the forced air furnaces had me worried about the natural draft but from what I've seen they have to replace there fans often ( about once a year) and I dont have that problem. I burn what ever I can get my hands on (green, old punky), no issues. burn times are simular to my buddies stoves.and I'm diggin on the savings. I believe ridgewood will tell you if someone has a furnace near your location, so you can check it out. good luck

Are you saying your friends are blowing hot air into the house or hot water hooked up to a forced air furnace in their homes? thank..Poorboy

Andrewstrucking...Thanx for the reply, I have a question to ask that I keep forgetting to ask Craig (owner) the exhaust/smokestack inside the firebox does it circulate the smoke to get a little of the gasses burnt before exiting? and where do you live in mi....would like to check out a stove if there is one close to the thumb of mi. Thanks Poorboy
