Ok, so now I have a few questions. We have two houses on the farm here. Both had indoor add on wood furnaces. Added to the current LP furnace duct work obviously. Both worked really well, could get the smaller house to 80 too easy! And the 100 some year old barely insulated farm house to 80 if ya wanted. Then we decided LP was too expensive to use to heat the milking parlor. So we get the mid-sized outdoor wood boiler. Heated water goes to "radiators" and so on. Installed it in the current ductwork of the farm house and put a squirrel cage fan behind another in the parlor. Now on the same amount of wood to heat farmhouse to 70 before we can heat house and parlor to 70+. And parlor is open for a few hours a day. Obviously a good efficient heat source. And less mess and splitting wood. Now the fella that sells these units has gotten a corn boiler to test here in Northern IN. Problem is the thing wont stay lit when no heat is needed. I guess they work well in really cold temps but here not so well. Claim after initial startup only 1 bushel of corn per day. So, who actually has a corn boiler and how well do they work? I am starting my house in a month or so and am going to use an outdoor boiler but not sure if wood or corn is the way to go? Sorry for the very long post.

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.
