The garage and house will be off grid solar PV with backup generator. There isn't much sunshine in Western Montana in the winter, I'm still...
Thanks, Stihlhead, If I can't find a good used boiler when I get ready to do this, I just might go that route. When you say I shouldn't need more...
As I understand it, the opposite would be true. I would use less wood heating with the indoor woodstove than the OWB. If the house was going to be...

I'm in the process of designing my next home and trying to figure out how to heat the garage in a manner that will not cause insurance companies to...
