“Should’ve done it years ago.”

“What a difference from our wood boiler – once a week filling instead of twice a day and no spending hours cleaning it. Should’ve done it years ago. We logged our bush, sold the lumber and firewood and spent two weekends chipping tops for the winter. Yeah, the boiler costs more, but it’s money well spent and will last me twice as long as the last one.”

Built Tough & Closed to Last 30 Years or More

Heavy Duty Construction from ST37.2 boiler steel, with solid core augers that apply up to 3,700 ftlbs of torque and a fireclay lined refractory concrete combustion chamber.
