I'd have to re-shoot with more emphasis on it rather than the unique feeding system. The boiler heats a large house and a barn/shop. In the meantime search for boilers online and see what's out there. Great option especially if these Jackasses in Washington pass Cap and Tax.
Cool set up, like to hear more about the whole system. How is the stack look when underway? can you see any smoke at all? if running right you should not see anything off the stack but heat waves. You should always season your wood and not be burning with high moisture content if you are gonna be "the shit" and the uber cool guys who are "off the grid" Where do young guys get this kind of money?
Mind I ask if the Carbon produced by the broiler is any less compare to gases or oil? What about the total cost of of those woods per season or annum ? Thanks in advance.
Carbon data for various fuels can be more accurately obtained via an online search from a reliable scientific source. In the Northeast region where we are and heating a large Home, a large Barn, a Metal and Woodworking shop it consumes about 25 cord of wood per year. I hope this helps. Cheers
Burning wood create same CO2 is the same absorb by plant new one.
However, scientific forget to take into account, Burn a tree log could simply did it in one day while growth a tree took years. If one Burn 1/10 of an acre of trees in a season as fuels and heat...That's a season, a few months. The math just doesn't add up while that 1/10 acres of tree took a few years to growth which will absorb equal amount of CO2.
The only trouble that we have had with the boiler being that it is 6 or 7 years old is that the inducer fan on the door took a crap, and it would be wise to have extra pumps incase of impeller failure in the pump, we just had to put a new one in last month , go figure it was below zero that week. Besides that ,the system is an oil company's nightmare! STAY WARM @ KEEP IN TOUCH !
Ive got the same boiler and it is the shit! I heat a 3000 and a 1200 sqft house and an 800 and a 8000 sqft shop with mine and it eats about a face of wood a day when the temp is in the teens , and it heats all the water we use. Do you use some kind of ash treatment for when you burn wetter wood? Nice invention , what a back saver !
I'll have to update the video and improve generally. The boiler belongs to a buddy "Bob" who has a Home, Barn, and shop to heat. I'll have to ask him about total square footage but I know its substantial. The wood trolley he built is a back saver especially when you get to the logs furthest away.
Cool but would be way cooler if you could figure out how to make that trolley thing dump the wood inside the boiler

i'll take one. delivered thanks.

looks like you need bigger logs
the bigger the wood the longer it will burn
you could burn large tree stumps

It's probably less, and if you're going through the amount of wood he has staked there you're cutting your own wood.

bro the carbon produced from wood is the same if it decomposes or burns it dosent matter. Also wood is cheap if u live in the woods !

True all true. As per my previous response this unit consumes 25 cord a year. It services a generous space.

@utubmania2009 Burning wood is co2 neutral this means that if you burn a three the co2 is absorbed by the new one you plant

That I would have to disagree with you.
Burning wood create same CO2 is the same absorb by plant new one.
