I keep a good variety for my central boiler cl 6048. IF i have a sweet A$$ bed of coals in it I throw the unsplit in but if I need to beef up my coal bed I use split wood! Great video brother happy heating!
hi there another good show . One other thing you may have missed those boilers only let the wood burn when the water needs to get hotter ,then they shut the burn down ,so they will only use the wood they need big or small . john
If you’re heating 6000sq+ of slab for 24 hours with essentially 3-4 gas station bundles of wood- you are winning. Love the setup! The fact that you process wood for a living, you are essentially heating your house for free because the labor and material are negligible to what you process for selling. I’d be interested in a cost comparison with someone in your climate zone with equivalent square footage running a forced air unit
So when we ran the gas furnace the first year we lived here just to heat the house it was roughly 3-400 a month. So you throw in heating the garage which I heated with a wood stove at that time. So it would of been at least another 200 at least. So yeah I would say we are saving a lot of money now.
I burn whatever fits in my barrel stoves door and prefer pine for being light and plentiful and a wood everyone loves to hate and the larger the logs the better
The acidity level is very high in green wood, guessing this is another reason, traditional wood boilers do not last more than 10 years. That & the fact they are not sheltered to protect from the elements.

Yeah when there is nice bed of coals boilers will pretty much eat anything.

Yeah that’s what nice with those kind of stoves.

Really…. I’ll have to tell my Classic Boiler from 1998. Maybe I should let her come in from the cold😜
