A friend bought an OWB 2 years ago, he's heating a slightly larger area than us but it is better insulated. Fpr some reason he's not using it for dhw. He is burning about 10 cords per year versus our 4.5/yr. I also get my wood for "free" and can find better things to do with my spare time than look for that much wood each year. Our initial start up costs were slightly higher but not a lot more. Even though he won't admit it I know he's jealous that I can be in my bathrobe/slippers at 6am loading up for the day while he's out in the weather(and lately it's been brutal).
