My Hardy is 12 years old. Burns year round. I'd buy another one if some tragedy destroyed this one.
I have a grandson who has asthma, and for that reason I originally tried using three lengths of pipe on the exhaust. The top section ran cool enough that I constantly had to fight the creosote buildup, and it didn't seem to make much difference in the amount of smoke in the yard. Ended up going back to one section of pipe. Grandson was never bothered by the smoke - just grandpa worried that he might be. . .
I've never changed the water. I don't use any "conditioner" or anti-freeze. I think they recommend pure water, in fact, the installer brought the water with him at the time of installation. He said it was reverse osmosis water. I use distilled water if adding to the boiler - might need a couple gallons per year.
If you are on well water and presently have trouble with mineral buildup, you'll need to think about a water softener to prevent the hot water coil from plugging. I replaced two coils before springing for a softener. Slow learner. . .
Things to look for in an outdoor boiler?? I like having an ash door. Some don't have that feature. You have to deal with the ashes once or twice a week, and I think the ash door makes life easier.
When you install your boiler, throw a UG cable in the trench for a work light to tend the fire.
The nicest feature about any outdoor boiler is the wood handling. Back a trailer load of wood up to the boiler and feed it right off the trailer. Eliminates a lot of wood handling.
