The new ones are insulated and the refractory cement will not break since its made for heat. I dont even have to clean the thing out in the summer!

They use hundreds of feet of a heavy-duty brazed copper that has calcium aluminate refractory cement that is poured around removable forms that they pull out when cured. As it cures they pump 180F water through the pipes to thermaly expand everything and dry them out within a week. I like that it wont ever rust and i can burn anything in mine. They explained water can only hold heat to 212 before turning to steam but the refractory can hold heat to 3000F and slowly release it all day when needed. I easily get 14-16hours per half fill. The new ones are worth looking at.

I have bought one of these boilers several years ago and despite the cheap door and no insulation it worked like a dream! Once the unit was heated up it could produce heat off just a few splits all day. I dont have to worry about the metal rusting or the welds breaking cause their are none. My house is almost 3000 sq ft and i might have only used 7 cord the whole season. the unit i bought was brought out to me and the new 2012 units are so nice im thinking of trading the old one in for the new one which they said was ok. The new ones have completly taken care of any old issues and have an insulates door and outside insulation. they also use a digital therm anf flow switches to prevent overheating. i would recomend the stove to anyone. They also have gasifiers now which i may get.
