Hey,
I've been researching coal boilers like the EK45B and other types of wood gasification boilers,(TARM). Does anyone have practical experience with either of these? can offer any operational advantages of one over another? I really want a high efficiency boiler that can burn either wood or coal. We nee a 160,000 BTU unit. It will be used as a secondary boiler (booster) in conjunction with a 500 gallon hot water storage tank to "boost" the primary LP boiler, which I hope will never need to run again. I'm certainly not predispoed to either the EK or the Tarm if there are others that are better. Suggstions? I saw a another from AHS, the coal gun, looks great, pretty expensive, tho. Mike62
