Indoor wood boilers are less expensive than the outdoor ones. Is there anything wrong with using one of these and just building your own shed around it? It seems like it would have all of the advantages of a "conventional" OWB. In fact, I wonder if it would be better since you should be able to access everything without being out in the wind and snow when you had to work on it.

Depends on the model, the indoor empyre elite series are often installed in outbuildings with a bit of insulation
-
Depends on the style shed you build.
If your talking about a shed with just a roof you may have a problem.
If you talking about a shed with (4) sides you shouldn't have a problem.
Most of the stoves components are compatible it would be the structure
that needs protection.

really no difference,,you will spend your savings,,on your shed anyways

Aqua-therm offers all of their models as a unsheltered option for a cheaper price..They can be installed in garages, sheds, whatever you want to build..I know a couple of people that have one installed in a garage and another in a shed..

thermal-control have indoor models with an optional insulated jacket so you can install in barn,shop,or shed... i think it's the way to go....just run insulated wrap around pipes if the shed not insuled the best to help hold heat in open pipes
