I just built a house and am in the first year of using a P&M BL 3444.  I'm happy with it.  If I had it to do over again and I had more money, I'd do the GARN, put it in the detached garage, and run a line to the house.  It looks intriguing and I like the higher efficiency.  I'd get the biggest one and superinsulate it to store more heat.

That is a lot of water to heat on that woodmaster. It would chew up a lot of wood.

I only wish I had gone the outdoor boiler route years ago.

I have a wood doctor, second largest they make, any other brand out there would be a far better company than wood doctor in my opinion, besides that what I don't like is there are no grates in mine, I'd definitely want shaker grates in anything I'd buy again.    I'd also consider a royal boiler, which is pressurized and has shaker grates, but I'm also considering a top loader for my heat load, and volume of wood we go through.
