So after months of research and thanks to information from guys like you here on the forum we bought a Heatmaster SS g200. We are so glad we did. Slim Jim came down and helped me get it up and running. Thank you so much!! So after running the boiler for about a week here's my observations. There is a learning curve to running a gasification boiler ,after you figure out how to load it and when to leave it alone it's really simple. As of right now I am getting 12-14 hour burn times on good seasoned wood. Our house is easily staying at 70 degrees and we have the hottest DHW I have ever seen and it seems to be unlimited. I am also running a small modine heater on the return loop and heating the basement. Our house is about 2500 sf and was built in 1840 , no insulation and old windows. This boiler is really impressive. I have friends and neighbors with conventional style wood boilers and I cant wait to show them what this one can do.

I switched from a 24 year old Hardy h4 to the G200 this year and it has been great as well. Warm winter but I am at about 50% wood usage compared to previous years. Never had to put more than a half firebox load in it yet. I am regularly getting 15 hour over night burns on the weekends and loading it a little lighter for the day time burns during the week and its working out great. I do 12/12 on my work days.
