Want to see for myself!

[Tank71]

Good afternoon everyone!

First of all I want to thank everyone for all great information thus far. I am looking to see who has a gasification boiler with storage or Garn anywhere near me. Preferably with in floor hydronic heat but not necessary. I would like to go and take a look at a few of these for myself. I am located outside of Wausau WI. If anyone is willing to share their set up me please let me know.

Thanks again,

Tank71

You can come and see mine if you wish. I will send a PM.

I have a Garn 1500 20 miles No of Hayward. still a work in process and not operational yet. Boiler is sitting naked in a purpose built Garn Barn / wood storage building. Warmboard currently placed over insulated sleepers on previously un- insulated lower level slab of walkout. Pex foamed in trench and shop has tubes in concrete slab. No manifolds controls or pumps in place yet. Sawyer is in Mercer and has had a 2000 running for a couple years. He is a gracious host. PM me if you feel the need for a road trip this direction

Sounds good Dan. Going to see how many invites I receive and try to make a day or two out of it.

I have a Econoburn 200 with 1000 gallons of pressurized storage 10 minutes south of Wisconsin Dells. Forced air heat exchanger for the house.

A little further away, but I have a Tarm with storage and Deep Portage has a Froling FHG-L50 with storage, also a large Garn (WHS3200) and a Wood Gun (E500) with storage. The Garn and Wood Gun likely are larger than you would be looking at, but principals of operation and install would be similar with smaller units; the Tarm and Froling are house-sized units. You also would have fun looking at DP's solar electric, solar hot air, and solar hot water (shut down for winter); as well as my 6.5kw solar electric. I'm sure overnight arrangements could be made. Both my location and DP are near Hackensack, MN,

Sounds to me like I better bring my fishing gear since I'm right next to Leech Lake. Thank you, will let you know.

Maybe we should be looking at Lunds instead of Garns.

We have an Effecta 35 Kw installed at The MREA headquarters in Custer (by Stevens Point) it is hooked to all sorts of loads. the buffer tanks (600 gallons) tie into 3 solar arrays, 4 different radiant floors in 2 buildings, 2 domestic hot water systems, with a big web enabled zoning control. PM me if you're interested.

If you want a real wood heating geek experience, absolutely go to Deep Portage via jebatty.

Boy I wish I was in my boat fishing right now. Gonna be a while though...Sorry I know its off topic but it sure feels nice to think about spring.

 

[eauzonedan]

Lunds?????? Keep dreaming George.....

 

[Sawyer]

Yeah I am, probably because the crappies are't biting. Winter is still here and more to come. I have plenty of wood so I am just waiting for the fish to bite so I can dump the trailer and hook up to the fish house. I have the snowpile in the yard ready for the Quinzhee, the grandkids will be up at the end of the month. Keep fishing, keep warm!
