Find out what the heating load will be for both buildings.

What will be th method of heating both buildings, forced air, raidiant etc etc

Then you need somewhere to locate the boiler, presumably in or near the barn, where is the wood supply.

No matter what boiler the re will be trenching and insulated pipe, the size will depend on the heat load.

If you end up going the OWB route, there are better ones out there. And better dealers.

Insulation and infiltration should be addressed first, smaller boiler, smaller pipe everything gets more manageable.

DONT USE THE BUBBLE WRAP PIPE no matter what you go with, You will be heating the ground. Read the sticky on underground pipe at the top of the boiler forum page. You will pay a lot more for good pipe but burn a lot less wood.
