General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: New guy with a couple questions.
« on: March 03, 2014, 06:54:35 AM »
Thanks for the replies guys.
My situation is similar to jerkash, don't want it too close to the main house and I have perfect spot behind a detached garage about 85' from the house. Going to call the building department today about codes and permits. I live just inside the city limits but it shouldn't be an issue in my 'ruralish" neighborhood.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / New guy with a couple questions.
« on: March 02, 2014, 03:30:28 PM »
Hi Guys,
I've been wanting an alternative heat source for a couple years to get away from the obnoxious propane bills and this
winter has pushed me over the edge! I've spent over $2400 in the last three months on propane and this has to change!
I really like the outdoor boiler idea. Last year I was going to do the indoor add on wood burner but just don't have a good place to run another chimney that wouldn't look awful. I also decided that I don't want all that stuff in the basement as far as wood, building fires, ashes etc.
First question is, how far from the house should it be? I have a spot that's about 85' feet.
Next question is on installation, I was a general/ restoration contractor for many years. Is there anything difficult about doing it yourself? I don't have a good grasp on the hot water conversion yet. Sounds like a good idea but haven't seen/read a good explanation on how it's done.
thanks,
jb
