How many have installed a grounding rod to their boiler?
Mine does not have one but Central Boiler states that one should be installed. Just wondering if I really need to do it or not.

I hadn't thought much about it. What is the main reason for doing it,lightning going back to the house?

NEC does not specifically address wood boilers, but it is not a bad idea to install a ground rod for lightning protection, especially if it is sitting out on an open area.
