If someone had a contact that they trusted I wonder if it would be affordable to purchase one of these cool boilers overseas and have it shipped.

If I recall correctly, Econoburn will build 500,000 and 1 million BTU/hr units for burning firewood. They're available with ASME rating, too, which is often required by certain codes.

in my situation I don't think firing 5 times a day as heaterman suggested Would be necessary for the garn would work as it would be paid staff stoking the fire and that is getting to be a full time job. If they can afford it we'll try to size the boiler so that their firing max 2x per day at peak load. Is it just my perception or are the garns more "plug and play" than the other boilers. Obviously you don't need to hook up storage and I've yet to see a "tuning your garn" thread.
By the way, where are all the self feeding cord wood boilers![]()

Unfortunately Como and some of the other folks with large scale projects that have posted here, are at that middle size "dead zone" where they are at the upper end of practical for cordwood, but not big enough to be cost effective for chips...
