Indoor boilers

Tom,
I was wondering if you knew of any comparative analysis that has been doneon indoor wood fired boilers. I'm looking to tie a new wood fired boilerinto my existing oil fired baseboard/hot water system. I've located fouror five different manufacturers including Tarm and Greenwood but wonderedif there is something like a consumer reports analysis out there to helpguide the selection process?

Hi John,
There is none that I know of. You should check out Hearth.com. There areforums there that might help you along the way.I am a big fan of boiler designs that echo the work that Dick Hill and NormSmith did back in the '70's. Those types of boilers are the TARM, EKO andothers that call themselves "gasifiers". Unfortunately there are manyboilers that banty that word around.
I am very skeptical of boilers that are all refractory and do not rely onsome water storage.
