General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: Which outdoor furnace should we buy?

« on: September 08, 2012, 09:17:53 AM »

Thanks for all your input.  After all my research I am down to the Empyre and the Portage and Maine.  All the others fell by the wayside for one reason or another.  Now my question is,  If I go to a gasifier I would definitely take the Empyre line but how is the maintenance on it.  I have talked to one guy running it in our town and he says he doesn't clean it much, but he is in a rental unit and I think he is heading for trouble.  I also don't like the way you have to split your wood to use it.  What have you found,
And if I decide to go to the standard ones which have you found to be better?  Empyre 450 or the portage & maine ML36?

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Which outdoor furnace should we buy?

We live in Northern BC Canada at an elevation of 2500'.  We have fairly long cold winters and would like to buy one asap.  I have been researching makes and models and everyone claims to be the best.  What is the best?  My home is 4500 sq ft but because of the high ceilings and cathedrals ceilings it more like 7100 on 3 floors.
It is log.  Please help.  We have an electric force air right now.  Any comments would be appreciated.
