First of all I'd like to say thanks to everyone on this forum. I've never been on a more helpful forum than this one. Unfortunately, after weighing the pros and the cons(budget), there is no way I can get my econoburn fired up this heating season. I appreciate everyone who gave me advice.
I will be watching in the background for all the latest and greatest ideas because I will be using wood as my primary heating next year. The pro to it is I'll have a lot more seasoned wood and my newly installed radiant floor will be ready for a wood boiler as well as an indirect water heater. The con is I have to buy oil for another season.
One problem that I saw with this forum: It was never pointed out that because my boiler supplied my DHW that it was next to impossible to easily incorporate my wood boiler into my oil boiler. Don't get me wrong it was all my lack of planning. But I think some of the more knowledgable heating experts should put together a sticky warning newbies of what's involved. What the experts take for granite, others haven't got a clue....ME.
Thank you very very much,
Sincerely, Beeper
