Wood eater. This is ridiculous!

If you have a ton of wood, heavy machinery and a desire to play with said heavy machinery regularly, this might be up your alley.

This thing is huge! Drops a cord of wood into it like nothing. And it has a wireless remote control!

I wonder just how much space he heats with that thing, how much wood he goes through in a year and how long in between reloads. No doubt that had to cost a pretty penny or three.

Hes wearing a tank top how much heat you need! lol

I wondered the same thing Jay. Maybe a big cold front was about to move in.

And if you have a ton of money.

 

[corey21]

That's crazy.

lol, If you need that much time to get that thing going winter will be over!

Middle of January and he's got green grass, leaves on the trees, wearing a tank top, and still has the pool open thanks to his outdoor heater.

Forget about the whole 'wood heats you twice' thing.

Hey-look at it this way, at least it wasn't a load of pressure treated telephone poles covered in creosote :lol:

Finally... the solution to the overnight burn dilemma.

 

[maverick06]

I have to ask the questions, what type of place needs something like that, something that eats a cord at a time.... I guess its feeding a boiler for a massive complex?

that wood doesn't look seasoned.....>?

This is one of the biggest problems with the OWB. People selling them are quick to point out they can burn green wood in them, and they can, but what a mess that makes! Talks about smoke dragons! And it seems most of the folks that buy into that idea do indeed burn green wood and they do not realize that it takes a lot more wood than it would if you seasoned the stuff first.

I wonder how that got past any local codes? Looked like he was in a nice enough subdivision, and those are usually eaten up with codes.

My brother's wife's uncle has one that is kind of like that. He burns about 100cords a winter through it.

Heats his house, indoor pool, machine shed and milk shed (has a dairy farm)

 

[wvwoodchuck]

That was a cord of wood?!?!?!

 

[nate379]

Maybe a face cord but no way that is a full cord of wood... least not the way I cut and stack my wood!

The whole burn chamber is 4x4x8'. 1.6 million BTU/hr for an 8 hr burn.

Based on a hardwood- we might be talking 50% efficiency (that's running at peak output for 8 hrs... benefit of the doubt)
