Victor forgot to take his meds today so please ignore his post and start reading, seriously its not a one or the other answer and their are variables like a knowledgeable dealer to install or at least be there when you need them.

Good luck with that question 

Buy both one to heat the shop and the other to heat the home.

They are both very good stoves they all have their issues eventually it's all on how well you maintain and what quality wood you burn in them.   IMO

  Are we really going there again?  I'm almost thinking that this is some kind of __________ wing conspiracy, why is it that P+M seems to always be compared to CB. Come on Scott or Yoder, your turn to speak common sense.

I am with you slim, it seems like a definite ________ conspiracy.....

However i for one can recall That about  a year ago a guy from north central maine had the same comparison dilemma.... (Me) ....and well I am sure from my profile you can see what my decision was,,,,

Thanks again Randy, are you ready for the big storm, we're supposed to get clobbered

Well In my neck of the woods the #1 brand of OWB is the Central Boiler..Hands down I see more Centrals than any other brand of OWB by far..Keep in mind I travel all of NH, southern ME, western VT and a good part of Mass.. I travel all kinds of roads from highways to back roads on a daily basis..Maybe that will tell you something..Just saying..Do your homework though..

The biggest isn't always the best, how come you don't own a CB Matty

Because I myself is impressed on how my boiler performs…

[slimjim]

OK so for you the biggest isn't the best, but because the majority uses them they should be the best for any newby, It's called marketing my friend, they hold about 70% of the marketshare in the northeast but for some reason we keep getting compared to one another, one has a simple very effective design with off the shelf controls and believable #s from the lab, the other had to be sued by the EPA to remove it's advertising of 97% efficiency from all of it's advertising and uses fancy controls that can only be purchased through corporate, to me the choice is very clear but that decision is completely up to the consumer, I myself refuse to be a sheep, led down that majority path.

Hey How about a  "HEATMASTER " Its nice to have a dealer near you of the Boiler you buy, but with this forum you can get help from almost all the dealers. Most likely more informative
