James, I was planning to install mine in an outbuilding and the dealer talked me out of it. They are made to withstand the elements. A man down the road from me has his under an open sided building with a gable roof. Pipe goes through the roof. It's a nasty looking mess on that roof.
On the 20 loads of wood - I burn around 13 loads here in Southern Illinois. For comparison, I was fortunate to have a wood furnace in my basement for 22 years before installing the Hardy. Both furnaces use about the same amount of wood, but the Hardy also heats the domestic water. The outdoor boiler is easier to regulate in the spring and fall.
