The NG is just for our domestic HW...all heating needs are met with the Greenwood 100...The NG provides DHW year round....the Wood with oil backup is just for heat...
Just to clarify you don't burn wet wood. You dry it in your firebox, and collect the steam in your exhaust stack, which will lead to a premature failure of something in your boiler, and a waste of BTUs. After you finish drying the wood, then you will start to heat water. Don't trust a salesman who tells you its ok to burn wet wood in our boiler.
"Wet" wood was a joke. I know you aren't supposed to burn wet wood. I've been trying to get my dad on board with cutting at least a year ahead and he won't buy into cutting early.
