    What are the brands out there that you hear people talk about. Haven’t really looked at them at all.

    Boilers?
    The one I see pop up a lot the last few years is the Heatmaster GS series...everybody that has them seems to love them.

    Yup. Love mine. Makes a lot of heat out of a little wood.

    I'm still not sure what is there now. I was thinking there was a wood furnace there now that needed replacing, and you were thinking about replacing with a boiler or stove.

    If you meant replace an LP furnace with a wood burner - I would not want wood to be my only source of heat. And if they don't have any wood now, moving to wood in any capacity could be quite a learning curve and a LOT more work.

    I called a couple of dealers this morning and was surprised that they didn’t have anything I could use on hand.

    There is lp in there now and looks like I will replace it will a lp furnace because I needs replacement now. I would be taken care of the wood supply and the stove.
