in THE MAIN WALL
Are there any small (150,000 BTU) dual fuel oil/gas burners available? Or do I have to switch burners each time the dollar tanks?

Thank you!

    Not that I know of

    but if all the infrastructure is there, the burner change-out shouldn't take more than a few hours.

    What a market!

    Thanks Steamhead.

    Wish someone would make one. And they should use standard parts while they are at it. Hahahah.

    small dual fuel burners (75 - 385 mbh) for several years, until they went out of business. Price, particularly of the safety control, is a big factor. Control (simplest one) is about 3X cost of a complete residential oil or gas burner. Dual fuel is a different animal. Not only cost of equipment, but cost to service.

    We recommend dual fuel on inputs over 840 mbh. Below that, pick a fuel, & the most efficient piece to fire it.

    Yes. Fuel changeover is simple. If the burner has been set for both fuels - simply flip the switch.
