Title: Trying to decide
Post by: mustang483 on October 05, 2010, 07:52:47 PM

After looking at pretty much every OWB manufacturer I have narrowed my search to the Empyre Pro 200 or the Wood Doctor HE5000.  Have seen positive posts for both on the boards but am looking for as much input from others as possible prior to making the purchase.  Plans are to heat a 3400 ft2 10 year old house in SE Pennsylvania with the OWB about 30 ft from the house.  Capacity of both seems similar from what I have been able to find.  The 30 year WD warranty is attractive but I'm concerned about the chimney mounted fan being loud.  The Empyre warranty is only 10 years but the interior mounted fan is likely to be quiet.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Have you checked out the new Natures Comfort downdraft gassifier  ( GT220).  I think there is video of one on youtube or check out there website.    :thumbup:
