Thanks to all who have posted - the aggregate field of information on Hearth.com is huge!
I'm upgrading to gasifier soon and my question relates to storage. I currently have hydronic baseboard heat, which I heated with a wood boiler (1978 model), or switched to my natural gas boiler (an either / or situation - no control connections). Now that I'm planning storage, with the understanding that I will use natural gas as a very limited backup, I'm wondering if I can simplify my system so that my gas boiler would feed the storage tanks in the event of: 1. gas boiler being turned on and 2. thermostat on tanks calling for heat.
Thanks in advance for your time - I know by reading for the past year or so that many of you dedicate enormous amounts of time here.
