Excellent List (it seems to me) of What to look for in an outdoor wood furnace

Since I don't have much experience with wood stoves, I'm not sure how good this advice is.
But it seems like a good list of what needs to be considered.

Might be OK for some, but since I replaced my OWB with a Tarm gasifier, much of the list is quite meaningless. While some would argue a place remains for the OWB, water-jacket boiler, that place is getting smaller and smaller with the increasing level of environmental regulation, cost of wood, and general recognition that we all need to be less wasteful in our use of resources.

It looks like a pretty comprehensive list/discussion to me. Probably a good source of information for anyone considering an outdoor (or other unpressurized) boiler.

Yah, I agree. For it's intended audience, (OWB's) it's spot-on.
