General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / heatmaster 5000e
« on: March 25, 2015, 04:05:08 PM »
Hi,
I live near Ottawa Canada, and am looking to get an OWB. I live in a 3600 sqft 200 year old stone farmhouse with some insulation. I have a heat pump which helps some of the time. and a propane forced air furnace. right now I'm spending about $4500 a year on propane. I'm also building a 1400 sqft granny flat that is attached. (I'm putting in floor hearing in this part.) I'd like to heat hot water too. I have some access to free hardwood but not regular, so can't guarantee what I buy will be seasoned. so don't want a gasifier. Also, I want to be able to burn yard waste etc.
right now i'm leaning toward a HM5000e or a P&M BL 2840 but am still researching/shopping/learning. Trying not to break the bank. but don't want to undersize it either. I've heard its better to burn hot than just smolder.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!!
Steve
