Portage and Main makes an indoor gasifier. I Have an outdoor model that I really like (Optimizer 250) so no I can't say much about the indoor model but if they make their indoor model like they do their outdoor model you should spend some time looking over their website. I have included a specific link to their Economizer IDM 100. I don't know if the size is what you want/need and you should beware that the unit requires 220v. My outdoor unit uses Johnson controls because they want to simplify end user compatibility. I looked at the Empyre Elite for the outdoor application but decided against it because the firebox walls were only 10 ga versus the 1/4" of the Optimizer 250. I like my boiler and though it is new P & M has been in business since 1973 and to my knowledge they have never gone out of business. I co-ordinated with thier shipping office and ordered my boiler on Dec 5, 2012 and received the boiler on Dec 7, 2012. I had an EKO 40 in my garage until the insurance company decided to change my policy and I ran that for 4 years without storage. I was temperamental when the temps dropped and I had to load in a bunch of cold wood but otherwise was quite adequate for my needs. Best to you in your search. http://www.portageandmainboilers.com/gasification_pages/g-economizerIDM.html
I will definetely take a look at it, Im looking at all the boilers I can and trying to find and talk to guys who run them without storage.
