    Make very sure you have boiler return protection incorporated when you install it, to keep return temps above 140°. There were issues with these things. Not sure of all of the issues, and not sure of all the fixes - but this is one thing to make sure of. With all wood boilers, but especially with this one, it seems. (No experience here - that's from reading about them on the net).

    EDIT: Whoops, I posted that then saw your other thread. Sounds good & good luck!
