looking for it to heat your house, barn? I ve been chekcing them out,, WOODMISER,, WOODMASTER, makes some great ones,, but they are rated for more than my house (square feet). GO and check out some of the commmercial ones, will give you an idea. Otherwise,, its just a woodbox,, with a water jacket, with a heat exchanger

Glad you asked. I have the same problem. I want to build my own wood fired boiler. I've been looking at the Russian fire stoves, but I can't find one that goes outside. The Wood Master is just too expensive for me.

I am in the process of building a Russian fireplace that will also heat my hot water and a radiator system. I might even hook it up to my dryer! If your intrested I can send you my ideals. I am a stone mason and have been building fireplaces for years.
