Has anyone seen a sawdust fueled boiler or plans to convert something.

AHS builds a sawdust feed modification for the Wood Gun

I pack it in paper grocery bags and put them in when the boiler is ready for the second load of wood.

Viessmann Pyrot burns sawdust.

Yes, as long as you have a good bed of coals, the "bark in a bag" puts out a lot of heat.

I have a little boat shop on the side with a CNC setup so I usually have alot of sawdust. I use to give it to a friend that has a sawdust boiler that he paid 50 grand for but now I use the paper bags that cost me 6 cents each at Aldis.

For anyone who tries this idea be sure and pack the sawdust into a container of some sort. The saw dust is highly flammable; it follows the chemistry rule that size of particle effects the speed of chemical reaction. The smaller the particle to faster the chemical reaction. Pouring the sawdust in the boiler will likely result in a flashback.

A few years back I remember reading about a sawdust fired gasification boiler built by wood-mizer (portable sawmill co) .I believe it was called bio-mizer. I am not sure if they were mass produced.

Check out the Max Ox boilers. They will automatically handle fuels up to 2" with full modulation and O2 control.
