Dual fuels on Central Boilers.

[jd6030]

Looking at 2300 Central Boiler and dealer has a dual fuel propane and wood and wondering if it has any benefit over wood only, besides the obvious of it running on propane instead of refueling with wood if a person was going to be gone?

When I bought our OWB 2 years ago I was looking at the dual fuel ones from central boiler and it was like 3 grand for the propane head plus the cost of the OWB. I questioned the dealer about how efficient they were because he had one but he just bypassed an answer. I ended up with a Woodmaster and we installed a new energy efficient furnace and pocketed the extra money the the dual fuel stove would have cost.
