General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / where to find fair honest comparisons for wood stove
« on: November 12, 2020, 10:49:05 AM »
building a new home and want to put in a wood boiler...
A wood boiler is a long term relationship and expensive commitment (with a great cost to change)
so many manufacturers and of course each one claims to be the best...
turbulators make sense - but the area in contact with the smoke - slowing and absorbing heat - makes me wonder how much the junk will stick to the turbulators
makes me wonder how they clean or if they need cleaned...
Central boiler seems to avoid that with their design... but reviews seem to be mixed (people love them or hate them)
I assume the gasifiers all tend to get dirty since they slow the smoke down but get more heat out of the wood
overall - I would lean toward the CB HDX - but like I said so many love/hate
it seems people say - find a dealer and pick one you like.... that is like buying a car because the dealership has doughnuts)
where can I find honest comparisons? (looking here people either are talking about their equipment failures (will happen to all products at one point or another) or are only able to talk about their unit) While you all have great insight - it winds up only about the one unit you have.
your guidance would be appreciated
