We just took delivery of a .5 MBtu Bio-Burner woodchip/pellet boiler. Way more controls than the CB Maxim that they are currently cutting into pieces with a torch :smirk:

Ooooooh! Pictures, please.
How much did it set you back? Seems like the most versatile chip boiler on the market.

Ballpark of $35k. They are hauling the CB out as I type.
CB used to have the bigest market share of OWB in Upstate I think. But times are changing. And this thing doesn't burn chunk. Disigned for sawchips. We will be using pellets.
Pictures as I can get them.

oh, yeah, that CB is great - and WAAAAY over 90% efficient!.....no, really, I read it in one of their ads...(OK, snarky comment rant over) 
Please send photos of the torch work....(sorry, seem to have snark Tourettes this morning) ....I mean the BB install, it sounds like a very interesting unit and having spoken to the guys at shows, it sounds like they know what they are doing.

Ok so the usual problems upon install/first fire. The first fire was electrical, and the replacement parts were not available locally. Then it was wired incorrectly from the factory, but a telephone conversation with the factory got that straightened around. Currently up and running now that the temps are down closer to normal for December.
Sorry, I can't get into Photobucket at the mo, so pics will have to wait . . .

Sorry to hear about the rough start. You may be one of the first to receive a BB500, so hopefully just beta-testing type stuff that is easily fixed.
Ouch...$35k :bug:
