Outdoor Wood Boilers: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

An honest look at owning an outdoor wood boiler: the savings, the work and the shopping.

Short answer: an outdoor wood boiler takes a little of your time and saves you a lot of money.

The good

  • No more propane, gas or oil bills.
  • Crank the heat or take long showers without worrying about the bill.
  • Gasification boilers burn up to 50% less wood with much less smoke.
  • The fire, smoke and mess stay outside your house.

The bad

It's work: cutting wood and loading the boiler. But you'd likely spend more time working to pay heating bills.

The ugly

Shopping. There are dozens of brands and plenty of conflicting claims online. Read reviews, talk to owners, and remember the boiler will be with you for years.
