Never heard of that one however.

Scotch marine type? Fire tube, water tube?

Boiler make the same as the burner make (that would almost be a first).

They are a water jacket boiler that is wood fired and you can back that up with NG/LPG/OIL, they look like a storage shed and you just drop them on the ground and run under ground supply and return lines to the building, Their web site say's they have been around since 84.

I checked out the website,

The fact that the boilers maximum out put (their smallest model) is a qurter million BTU's and ensconced in a "shed" bigger than my A-Frame in northern VT was an instant turn off. I can just see the smoke pouring from the chimney leaving fly-ash all over the pristine snow, my truck hood and vermin living in the voids come spring.

But then, what does a "city boy" like me know about wood boilers(:-o)

My thoughts exactly but I have a customer that wants me to design and install a radiant system using one, he drives a log truck so I guess he can get cheep wood.

They Smoke up the neighborhood. They are a nuisance. Not to mention they can burn half a forest at one time. They are an open system so you don't see a relief valve and notice how they are set a distance from the house. The first one I saw was at a farm and I thought it was some sort of a smoke house.

There are many extras.....

one is a light on the front so the nieghbors can see your dumba-- out there at 2 am, at minus 20F trying get up some heat for the house! HA! HA! HA! If you what to be practical and warm look into the ones with large volumes of water for longer times between firing. Best Regards.
