    So really the issue is how the boiler is plumbed into the building. Wouldn't an OWB Gasser hooked up to a storage system like yours operate similarly? Of course you would lose the residual heat from the boiler itself to the great outdoors so that's one the OWB will never win. I would also expect an IWB like yours to perform rather poorly with no storage unless it was sized perfectly to the house/climate.

    I'd have more respect for that group if they didn't go for sensationalism and actually tried to publish some information that might be helpful to that "80 percent" who burn with old stoves .... just teach them to burn dry wood and their old stoves will be less polluting, and they'll be able to go seamlessly to newer EPA stoves. They might also promote the replacement of older stoves with used EPA stoves.....

    That article was like reading the freak newspapers that are at supermarket checkout counters.
