Dad and I have a Woodmaster He has had his for about 18 years and I have had mine since 2004 so about 13 years. Get the next size bigger than you think you need. Easier to keep the heat up in and will require less tending. I have about 1500-2000 Square feet old farm house no insulation and use one that is supposed to heat 10,000 sq feet It has the second set up to mount the pump to heat an alternate building if you wanted. I have forced air heat already in the house so used that with a heat exchanger in above the old oil furnace then use the same fan for this with a separate thermostat for heat. I could just start the oil up if I needed to go away for a few days to keep things from freezing in the house. I have not used it since I put in the wood furnace.
I put in a hoist to lift the big blocks in since I can put up to almost 5 foot long stick in. The door is 27x27 inches. 12 inches by 4 foot is pretty heavy to control without knocking your fire apart. Also works good for the wife to use when I am not there to do it.

The central boiler is a good unit. remote family has a couple and like them. One is a self draft that does not have a fan on it from what my brother tells me. They have had that for several years I guess.
Insulation will be your friend for wood consumption.

I know a guy built a new house in SD that put the in floor lines for heat. I don't know if I would go that route. Have know of problems with leaking lines causing problems. My brother had that in a hose and was always coming home to a leaking copper line. Was an older house with an oil furnace.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
