You might also look at Johnson boilers.  I put my first boiler in last winter and cant find anything I would change.  It had a very large door for loading and two fans to force air into boiler.  Very easy to care for and it burns anything with ease.  Good Luck JT

I'm sorry , I'm just not ready to let it go , so what exactly determines a person to be an expert in this field? years and years of experience, industry certifications or the simple fact they are a dealer?  , I'm not putting anyone down , as stated I ask questions and get opinions  and while I respect all opinions i ask to get different opinions and take that information and use  what looks like it will work best for me ,if i happen to disagree with someone I do so politely ,  I realize its a lot of personal opinions and preferences but again what determines an expert ??

In my field I hold 2 degrees and many,  many industry certifications and I still have a lot to learn and learn something everyday , the day one sits himself on a pedestal and professes to know all and see all is someone that needs a good lesson in humility

Man your off in left field if you think thats remotely how I feel

As far as experts, I'm no expert but do work with furnaces everyday 365/yr.   I have no big paperwork saying anything, but based on jobs I've been on with "engineers" they could draw you something on paper and tell you it will work, but when it comes down to getting there hands on it and making it work, well good luck.. 

Kinda like workers on a job welding, most of them know far more about doing there job correctly than the guy that's supposed to be over them. 

As far as dealers, I know of very few that do this for a living, most dabble in it on the Side of another project or as a side job, as with any job, the ones who are the best are the ones that are truly interested in it and are always involved and always learning

 Yea I could give to figs for a hand full of certifications. I recommend a dealer and furnace company with a proven record of successful completed jobs with happy customers. Most issues I have seen with both dealers and furnaces brands are fairly obvious if you know what to look for. Its the folks that have never been around an outdoor furnace that will get burned. Find a dealer who has a good reputation in the area and you will be okay.
