djblech said:This is for current Garn users. How much wood are you using per year. The web site estimated about 8 cord per year, I was wondering if that was accurate.
Thanks

Rory said:I don't have a Garn, but that seems like an awful lot of wood from something that's a highly respected gasifier, especially down in Pennsylvania. I have a Tarm Solo 30 up here in Maine heating a 2,500 sq. ft. house and keeping 1500 sq. ft. in the basement quite warm as well, and supplying DHW on somewhere around 5 cords of good hardwood a year.

I'm surprised Garns are rated @ 75% efficiency. With that money I'd expect more. Garn might be totally honest with the efficiency though when other may be stretching it a bit. Chances are though it will outlast my Eko 25.
