It's not in my garden,its on my fishery car park.

Dave, cant find any info on those Ruffle boilers, what sort of cost?

 

I have looked long and hard at various boiler options, IMO it has to work on woodchips, as pellets are so expensive.

It has to be a machine that has a ram feed though, or you need a 3 phase supply to work the augers. Only one machine that I know of will do that, thats the Passat C series. Looking at about £7k for the right boiler.

Ed,I they no longer make them I bought mine S/H about 5 years ago for £800.

 

I intend to change mine for a wood chip boiler within the next 5 or so years.

[Mr Ed]

Ha, that was a damn good price. ever shoveled it full of chip?

I wouldn't dare,if you put chip on a wood burner it can crust over,the chip can gasify and when a spark makes its way though the crust,boom!!!

 

When I was a boy my dad had a workshop stove he used to burn saw dust on,but he would put a short length of scaffold tube in the center and pack the saw dust round it,then slowly remove the tube to stop it crusting over so it burned under and above:icon14:
