I too am going to build a small building a few feet from my house,I like the idea of a large storage tank, but not in the basement. I will put the tank under...

Glenn, My comments were based on your assumption that the tank is vented to atmosphere. you can do anything with a pressurized system as long as the pressure...
All that I ment was that you really do not need a massive amount of heat exchange such as the cast iron radiators to extract the heat from the boiler in a tank...

Woodheaters, As discussed earlier, a pressurized tank has the advantage (over a pool/vented tank) of not requiring heat exchangers. So really, you need to...

I have been going thru this also about sizes of tanks and woodboilers. I have up loaded a file that does some calculations that I believe are correct. I have...
In your example I like the math process but it might be a little off on delivered heat. Once you get to delivered efficiency it takes a bad turn, but you...
The question was asked, if an eathen thermal mass might, or might not be as efficient, or cost-effective as a water based heat storage.........All depended. I...
It is great to ponder over this with people that have a clue so first off I wan't to say thank you. My oil boiler says it is 85% efficient but you cannot count...
Oh, the oil boiler is 85%.(I agree with this). I am sorry, I was confused thought that the efficiency was for the wood fired boiler which seemed a bit...
Hi all, Just wondering if anyone could put me straight on one of the basics: Apart from how thoroughly the wood mass is converted into heat the other main...

Thanks Ross, Great summary - very useful. So stack is chimney? If the exhaust is cleaner then I guess the chimney doesn't have to be so hot - the heat would be...
In my area,(NY/NJ boarder) there is a strange duality for wood. Dry wood is expensive at $165-$225/cord. It is sold as two season wood which was piled in a...
