I’ve been heating our house, workshop and domestic hot water with an outdoor wood boiler since 2011, and the video above is one I made about the first boiler I installed at our place. It was a gasification model (great performance by the way), made by Portage and Main. I’ve since switched to a non-gasifier (also by Portage and Main). A video about this unit and why I switched is coming up, but click above to watch a video tour of the outdoor wood furnace I installed originally. Learn how this technology works, how it’s installed and why I chose this model. Want to know how outdoor wood furnaces work in general? Click here to learn the basics.
