No outdoor wood boiler is complete without the proper insulated pipe to feed the heat exchanger. Money spent on well insulated pipe saves a lot of wood. My area mainly uses Hardy, Taylor and Central boiler. Don't see as many Taylors as in years past.
My neighbor has a Central Boiler and it's going on it's 9th year. I bought one used and was 3 years old when I got it. Sept. will be 3 years for me. I've been well pleased with the Central boiler. Not as cold here as in the northern part of the country but we do see single digits for short periods and teen for weeks. In the coldest part of winter I fill with wood every 12 hours.
Before you buy any brand make sure it's sized proper as well as the heat exchanger.
I run mine year round and in the summer, it's only used for hot water. Fill with wood about once a week in the summer and use low quality wood then too.
I have a friend in Wisconsin that bought one. He cut cost everywhere he could and he's not happy with it. Stove is to small, heat exchanger is to small and used bubble wrapped underground pipe and loses to much heat underground. His won't run through the night on a fill of wood.
If it's cold they all burn lots of wood. Central Boiler in my area is considered one of the best available around here. I see other areas don't think to highly of them.
Before buying, do your home work. Don't skimp on quality insulated pipe. I know I said that before. So many folks make that mistake.
