General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: I'm looking for a good brand

« on: January 31, 2014, 06:46:14 AM »

Chaikwa, I sent you a PM. Like most people, I'd rather not pay more than I need to, but being as I have all the pipe work done, I'd like to stay under 10K. I'm not sure how long I'll stay in this house, and not everyone considers a wood burner to be an asset. I worry about recouping my investment.
Thanks for all your input. I'm just looking for something that isn't going to need a lot of maintenance. One of my concerns is chimney cleaning. I have about 8 feet of stack, and I have to clean it out several times per season.

I'm realizing how important service is. I also have been reading consumer reviews of OWB systems. I was ready to go with a very popular brand (not mentioning the brand because I'm not looking to start fights), and then I read how both the company and the dealer were awful to deal with. I read review after review that said the same thing.
I'm just trying to find something that is dependable. I own a Heiss Heater now, which is built from heat tempered cement. After three years, it leaks smoke from so many places. I just want to make a better choice the next time.
Thanks for whatever advice you can all give me.

Three years ago I purchased an outdoor wood boiler. It was a start up company out of Grand Rapids MI, and I'm now having regrets.
I'm looking for something that gets good reviews. I understand that everyone has their own tastes, but I would greatly appreciate your thoughts on units that you all are happy with.

Thanks
