My second question for you guys. As posted below, I am going to install an OWB this summer for next season, fas as I have gotten is to read tons and tons of information, as well as cut alot of wood. All manufacturer's stake claim to have the best boiler, for a new person involved in this, it's hard to decipher it all. One question I've asked all companies so far is how much wood to expect to burn and it's really hard to get a straight answer. Never fails, I always get a "depends". I understand that, but even telling them how much it is costing in propane and giving details about current LP heat being used, no one seems to want to go out on a limb and give a guy an idea. That isn't overly important, I just just want to know what to expect is all. Although I am interested in buying the OWB that will provide the most heat for the least amount of wood fed into it. Have also seen where some claim their 185 gallon model will outdo the competitors 400 gallon model and so on. There is alot of info out there, and seems to be alot of misinfo as well that I'm trying to decipher. My question....is there anywhere on the internet that all OWB models are compared side to side? Or, Is there any trade show anywhere a guy can go to actually look at in person and compare all the models in the same place? Your help will really be appreciated here, Thanks!
