Which are the best boilers Biasi or Econoburn .

These are 100% different products.
Search for biasi on this forum for a discussion of the combustion design. The Biasi looks like it will burn hard coal OK, and wood....well, I remain unconvinced that it achieves high efficiency based on what I see in the design and construction......

These two products should really not be compared - at least in my opinion. The Econoburn/Tarm/Eko design is 100% different.

Ok ! What is the best unit for heating a house with hardwood. Coal is not available in my area

You'll want a gasifier like the Econoburn/Tarm/Eko etc. (See the gasifier tab of my site in my signature) These are so much more effecient. It is the way to go.

My opinion with central heat is that you should either go all the way (as woodnotoil and others with storage and high efficiency) - or, if you cannot invest that kind of $$, you should consider an efficient space heater in the living area (EPA rated wood stove) - which will obviously cost much less. An inexpensive and inefficient wood boiler systems will end up costing more in the long run because of excess wood use, chimney fires, improper distribution of heat, etc.
