The Windhager LogWin that I saw in the lab in Austria had that same feature. Each piece of the refractory was individually replaceable. Wish I could get my hands on one of those....automatic lighting, automatic flue cleaning like their pellet boiler, lambda control, modulating burn rate, extremely heavy.....all the good stuff. It would probably be in the $8-10K range if they ever bring it over here. View attachment 109606

If you come into contact with more information on this boiler, please post. Replaceable refractory sections is a very interesting feature! :)
 
my issue is paying for pellet vs free wood. Both options cheaper than oil. I believe pellets are 250 a pallet or so. Dont know how many pallets I would use. My family likes the house at 70-72 which i feel is extremely warm. 2 children and 2 adults. I do like the idea of pellets. Im trying to get away from paying for heat. All the options i seem to come up with are:
1. Vedolux but expensive. Side by side storage
2. Effecta - More reasonably priced and side by side storage
3. Benjamin combo unit - 7k range
4. Attack DP - dont see water storage side by side
5. Biomass dual fuel oil/wood boiler
6. Garn - My dream
7. Vigas.

As you can see i have a serious dilema:(


Benjamin?

Unless they've come out with something new & exciting very recently, I'd scratch that one off.

Also not sure about the prices/comments that have been bounced around for a new Varm (Vedolux) - from all my looking when I got mine, they weren't much more than the rest except maybe Eko. Unless comparing top of the line with not top of the line. Cost of storage has to be (or maybe I should say SHOULD BE) added to all boilers so that should be equal all across all of them.
