i have a wood master - non-pressurized system very much like the central boiler one described below - heat exchanger into the radiator, heats hot water as well there is a company - i want to say it is aquatherm - that sells pressurized systems w/ no heat exchanger - i think they called it a "closed" system- circulates directly in your radiator - remember an advantage to this system was you could buy the boiler w/o the metal hut around it, just w/ insulation and install it in a garage/shed, by doing this you saved $1500 or so
you can find pages and pages and pages of research about if OWF are a good alternative, how dirty or how c lean they are etc...
i would not go backto paying for oil but if you do get an OWF a few things, and i think owners will agree, a) like said below - do not skimp on the insulated pipe running to the heat exchanger, it is worth the investement...i lose a degree or two on a 75" run...that"s it. b) only purchase an OWF if you have a readily availible supply of wood...they are hungry! c) do not install if you have "neighbors"...people putting them in bad spots is what gives them a bad name, when they are burning they burn clean and hot but when the stove kicks on initially and kick off, they give a burst of smoke d) do your research...it is tough because every company has literature supporting why theirs is the best...but it is a lot like tractors - where is your closest, reliable dealer. who is still going to be there in 5-7-15 years.
