Empyre has more gassers than anyone, 6 of which are EPA phase 2 approved

I live in central wis. The boiler lines are buried 5 ft deep with 2 inch foam insulation with sand poured around them, that's how they did it back then I guess. The lines are 2 inches and a half of an inch thick. I have been trying to get info on the empyre pro 200, central boiler E classic 1450, Hawkens GX 10. So far the E Classic has the best web sites and info.  I cannot find anyone in the sate that has anyone of these in use.

I think in Wisconsin a pressurized boiler requires some kind of permit or something RSI was telling me about, he said it was basically $1000 additional cost per boiler

Yea, there is some strange laws...  They vary from state to state, pressurized has benefits but these laws are crazy sometimes
KY has laws that are different for residential boilers and business ran boilers, it's all nutty

Bettwin, why not just get another Heatmor 100? I'm sure you could get by loading with smaller wood even if you have to adjust your feeding schedule slightly.  Any others out there with owb's that have been in service over 23yrs?

Actually Scott according to  www.co.la-crosse.wi.us  section 11.54 of the outdoor wood - fired furnace code.  for la-crosse county wi. All outdoor wood-fired furnace installations require a permit..Not just the pressurized ones.. Maybe what RSI told you..could be different for that county

[Scott7m]

That county may have there own law on top of the state one perhaps, I'm not sure.

if i was replacing an open loop boiler like is there allready i would'nt pull no permit..if there has been one there for over 20 years i would just say i painted it

[willieG]

i live 500 feet from my township's office and we also have a by law for OWB..i built mine, installed it, and it runs all winter long. I have never seen the bylaw officer yet in 11 years. they got better things to do than chase a guy around over a wood stove...they likley would come out to just collect on a permit?
