Are these boilers any good? In my quick searches, people noted that parts can be hard to come by. One popped up for sale near me, wondering if I should look into it.

They showed up about 10 /12 years ago made a splash on the forum for 2/3 years ! I believe they were made in Poland workmanship was not the best. They were Lambda controlled but still needed a 7 inch flue . They were not expensive about the same price as a similar sized Eko . If the refractory is in good shape and the unit is not over priced could be a good find '

Really? The website says its 104k BTU max. The seller is asking 2k usd.
You might be able to get by with less. Would depend how far you want to get between fires. I would consider 500 a bare minimum. I have 660, would live to have 1000.
