Hello all, just joined, first post. I looked for a search engine to see if this question had already been asked but did not see one. Did I miss it ?
I have been using a Wood Master 4400 for the last 15 years. I heat a 1700 sq. ft. home, a 1000 sq. ft. work shop, an 800 sq. ft. apartment, a 500 sq. ft. 4 season green house and two water heaters. In a normal year I burn a 16'x16'x7' pile of wood.
I am turning 74 yrs. old and am getting tired of cutting wood so I am considering the purchase of an outdoor pellet boiler. My biggest concerns are - -
1) How many pellets can I expect to burn per year ? (They are around $200/ton here.)
2) What can I expect concerning keeping it clean and ashes dumped?
I would also like to hear the pro's and con's you guys have on outdoor pellet boilers. If there are conversations already on this site I should read please direct me to them.
Thank you for your time,
