We haven't tried yet, still a the proposal stage. For the BTU content, we estimate we wont be far from the OMAFRA biomass factsheet : http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/engineer/facts/11-033.htmWhat kind of btu output you getting? i know that could be a tough one but hows it compair to a good hardwood? Would you run them on a 0 degree night? (High winds of course)
Most of these values have been verified at the NRC lab in Ottawa.
For the draft issues, we plan on getting our hands on a boiler that has a draft fan as well as fan pushing air in the primary-secondairy chambers. A lot of the smaller EKO owners seems to be happy without a fan, but I cant see how we could do our trial without them.
