I have a Heatmor outdoor boiler unit and so far it has been trouble free. In the dead of a extreme northern Indiana winter with a nice wind off the lake I will burn an average size truck load in 10 days or so. This is heating 2600 sq ft plus a 700 sq ft garage. Keep both at 74 degrees and heat my domestic water. When it gets in the mid and upper 30's I can go over two weeks on the same load. Hit the 40's and just about a month. Not all are the same and obviously you will have heat coming out the stack. Ever seen a fire of anykind not? Nothing is 100% efficient. Just remember that a regular fireplace or indoor unit is burning almost constantly while the outdoor unit will almost completely shut down and barely smolder part of the time. We used to heat the old farm house with an add on unit then switched to the outdoor boiler and if anything use less wood. I have found that really dry wood tends to burn shorter than somewhat green wood. I suppose due to the fact that when it shuts down the green wood is more apt to start smoldering sooner than the nice dry wood which would continue to burn. Just my observation... goes against the rules of science. Of course not everything on paper works out like it should in the real world.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
