Really like my MF 5000 had in door stove for 18yrs I think there's less work with owb aprox $8500 invested install done by me . I would definitely spend extra $ on Urd insulated Pipe rehau was 10.50 a ft . Good luck

I was quoted 8300 just for the PM boiler, it was 14,000 total install. That was a dealer here in millersburg Ohio.

Walkerdog, that seems extremely high.....certainly for the install but also for the boiler as well.  I think list price for the 28-40 is $7900 (may have went up since ~ 6 months ago).  What all is involved in your install?  I completed mine myself and have and have kept a list of all expenses involved, right down to the rental of the mini-excavator and the gravel pad and am sitting right at $10,300.  This is just to heat the house.  I've not hooked up hot water yet.  I figure I'll have ~$300 per tank.

What is all involved in your install. 

I spoke to the folks in Millersburg when I bought mine and at the same time they wanted to charge me the high end of the scale, they also didn't even  have anything in stock to show me.....and this was back in January of this year.

I was just calling as I was considering selling my hardy but after talking to him I'm not going to do it. That was complete install with me not doing any thing. I had 9600 complete install in my Hardy in 2012. So far so go woth it though. I just always want things that are new and improved... Lol

Understand that although you have very good intentions of keeping a large supply of dry wood on hand,that can become very difficult.  Conventionals are going to be more forgiving than gassers.  I love cutting wood and I get laid off in the winter but life happens and I find it hard to get more than a coupl months ahead.  The novelty of being self sufficient in the heating dept. will more than likely wear off after time and staying years ahead on your wood supply will become very difficult.  I would recommend starting with a conventional and seeing how things go first.  Conventionals will be a very easy sell shortly after April so don't worry about getting stuck with it if you decide your ready for a gasser.  Their will be one hell of a black market for these things next year!  This site will lead you to the right stove just make sure you have a dealer CLOSE by to service whatever you choose.
