I currently have an older Kerr boiler (with oil backup) and am looking at a gasifier this year. I have read most of the posts in this forum and still have some questions. My house is 20 year old, 2000sf with no shelter from the wind. I live close to the ocean so it's windy all winter (except today). The units I have "easy" access to are the Tarm, Greenwood and Greenfire. I am leaning towards the Tarm. Has anyone used the tarm for a long period of time? What were the costs incured over the years? How much maintenance (except loading it) does it require every day, week, month and longer. My plan is to have storage within a couple years. Will the Greenwood and Greenfire operate better with storage even though the manufactures don't recommend it?
My next boiler has to be as maintenance free as possible and be able to work on 2-3 fills per day. My inefficient kerr needs to be filled every 3-4 hrs and taken apart every month or so to clean the tubes inside.
