After reading a lot of posts and picking up some great information on here, I decided I needed to replace my basement wood stove with a boiler. I came across a Hydro-to-Heat-Convertor boiler and thought it would be a nice unit to make the transition. It still provides a lot of radiant heat, with only up to 30 MBH going into the water. I only have 120 gallons of storage, so I can't easily handle that many btu's. Eventually I'll be finishing this space in the basement and there's just something I love about being able to watch the flames. It's been about 2 weeks since I first built a fire in it and the heat pump hasn't had to kick on yet Here's a picture of it right after I got it installed and built a fire. Hopefully I'll post some more pics after I get things cleaned up a little bit.
