I am trying to find a good outdoor boiler, it would be for a snowmelt system. I want 2- 900,000 btu units that have stainless heat exchangers. This is a very cold climate so it needs to be able handle that as well. Natural gas and condensing as well.

copper tube boilers
I think most all brands have outdoor versions, similar to a pool boiler I suppose, as far as the weather proofing.
How would you handle the condensate with an outdoor condensing boiler? Connected to a snowmelt you will get buckets of condensate from it.Bob "hot rod" Rohr

Good question
I guess piping it into the snowmelt drainage would work, but you gotta make sure it doesn't freeze up before it gets there. Trenching under the units is the only way I see its possible.
I have seen some boilers but most can't handle being in freezing temps.
