honestly this is one of the most professional, informative, well produced videos i've seen.
I like that "boiler worker's antifreeze" on the concrete foundation. Great video, subscribed.
Like the Yuenlings in the back too!!
love the fule storage on the wall.
Yeah, I saw does bottles before the blooper, and I just thought, "To each his own." Nice setup...great use of the greenhouse translucent panels.
So much great information in this video! I have a Tennessee outdoor Hoss 600 outdoor burner and I set my burner up completely wrong! Its rated for 10,000 sq ft, but my house is from the 1880's and is around 4000sq ft. So it's all my burner can handle. Even though the wood cutting is alot of work it sure beats the 800 month in natural gas and electricity. Now with the burner going my bill is around 180 month for electricity and my gas is shutoff at the meter. I'm sure it could be even more efficient if can get this mini mansion insulated properly. My blower from my furnace runs constantly to keep up with the drafty house. Im going to try alot of your methods on here, keep up the great work!
That's a very very nice set up ...really good work you've done there .
very informative
great video
Thank you so much
Great vid. We are just starting to build our Homestead and laying out all the out buildings. I was just wondering how big of a shed you built and how much wood do you burn a year. Thanks again you have helped me make up my mind to go with a out door wood Furnace.
Wish you had made this 3 years ago. Kudos really nice set up We have a lot of the same Ideas I chose gravel as a bed, however left the stove outside. 20 feet from (back of) the work shop. 175' to the house. My main issue is/was icing around the front of the stove from roof run off, and flow of the land. I have a 16' "lean too" constructed off the back of the 3500sq foot shop. I hope I resolved the problem this year. I put eaves on last year and it helped, now an eaves heater plus some landscaping. Hey it's what I sent the boy to school for ;). If it doesn't I'll extend the roof line to cover the stove next year, more or less box it in. I have enough room for 3-4 years outside and another 1+ under the lean-too cover. Which I now don't care for. I'm paranoid if it starts on fire I'm placing it to close to the shop. This is why I like your "self contained area / building". Plus I now like the extra cold storage area. Considered about boxing it in with a fire wall between the stove and the lean-too wood supply. I do like the outside storage as it allows for ease of wood rotation. I'll admit heavy snow has been an issue despite covering it. Since this is hidden i'm okay,, so no eye sore or gossip. Now water lines. I wish I had a second run to the house for the hot tub & three season porch (or future.) But I think a manifold will work when ready for that. Whats your take on the manifolds I read pros and cons.
Regards Al
awesome job
Thanks! This helped me a lot. I also bought a lot of my setup from you.
Glad I could help! Appreciate your business.
Very smart setup
Thanks! I appreciate that...
Very nice setup. CHEERS!
Thank you! Cheers!
This was helpful and I appreciate your efforts
Glad it was helpful! Jeff
This is my favorite outdoor wood boiler video. 👍 Informative and funny.
Thank you, With the whiskey and beer you see at the end of the video, I did several takes and got drunk! A Win Win...
great video, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
I really like the shed design you made for the boiler. Sure wish you could have made a video on how you designed and built it.
This boiler is too bad... to be in a shed. But idea is right. To put a good one inside wood boiler into a shed!
Inspiration man. Good job, love the taking the time to apply what you learned and build the carriage house.
I appreciate that!
Really good video , love the inside building concept .
Glad you liked it! Happy Heating.
Brilliant!👍👌. I am wondering if this kind of setup could be used in a bank barn? I’m inspired!😃
i like the beers in the barn
good stuff man! cool to see your setup
Thank you!!
Great job! I have been planning to build an outdoor boiler and install it in a shed,......may go concrete and steel. Question, what kind/type of insulated pipe did you run? Thanks again for all your videos!!!
I like your new video this is a nice wood stove have a good thanksgiving too you guys
Thanks! You too!
Some beers and a shot too..Cheers.
Gotta say this is a well thought out project. You really rocked it.
Perhaps I missed it and I know you said you have room for two years wood supply.
How many cord do you burn?
I did see the dimensions listed below.
New to your channel and you may have already covered this.
Anyway, well presented.

Hi Jeff, it better boiler out there!
man thats nice! need a stove like that
Thanks, The amount of money it has saved me, i need to show love for that stove...
Is that the central boiler unit from 2000? It's now 2019. How's it doing now ? Mine is good after 10 just love it. Hope it lasts.
I like your setup, I didn’t think about the greenhouse roof I was just gonna go black and put more lights in, as far as the size, you said 2 years, for the load you described I would assume 10 cords a year, so if your storing 20 cords of split wood, a boiler and a generator, what’s the actual dimensions?
3800 SF WOW thats a massive house!
Matt kramer yeah, he's loaded
Best part is the bar in the back
Soo... what are your thoughts on top loading log boilers?
I would have liked to seen more shots of your shed and boiler.
Sorry about that. I didn't want to make video to long.
Man has to have his “ antifreeze “ . Just wards off the chill.
Moving water doesn't freeze...
Very nice setup. What are the dimensions of your shed?
28 ft X 16 ft
Thanks Jeff
in recovery for alcoholism for 30 years of course I see the Heine's and Jack first....LOL great video. I'm going in this direction in my garage! awesome!
For each zone you require another set of lines? ie Hotub, house, garage and workshop?
Not necessarily.
Hi I was wondering what would be the cause of water flowing out of the fill vent when all the obvious has been check thermostats checking the water temp with a probe and checking water temp on inside furnace and according to all within a 5 degree range at 185 thanks I'm thinking back flow but my well pump doesn't come on when i call for heat the water stops overflowing ??

You probably figured this out by now but it could be a breach in your heat exchanger that you use for domestic water
Mr. Luff, Could you talk to me a bit more about when you had your setup as “seasonal”. I like the idea of just moving the furnace out for the heating season and putting it away for the warm months. Did you have any issues with freezing or heat loss with running the lines over the surface of your yard? I assume you had installed some threaded fittings on the side of the house to connect up to. Thank you.
Sure thing! No real heat lose from the water lines on the ground. I also used Sharkbite fittings for the connections. It is in-creditable simple thing to do. and it work great.
@@AltheatsupplyLLC Thank you for the response.
Good afternoon Jeff, I recently moved into a 100 year old farm house with steam heat. I have radiators in each room, the boiler is a peerless 121,000 btu oil boiler. is it possible to hook an outdoor boiler to my boiler through a plated heat exchanger.
Thanks Mark.
Mark Perucki u betcha
What is the name of the blue paint, on your building, and where do I buy it?
Still wanting to know the blue paint name and where to buy it.
As and experiment, at the 5:02 point of this video. Instead of an "Exhaust" fan, why not reverse it's direction and have it blow air into the shed. That way when you open the fireplace door, the air blowing in will escape up the chimney, essentially blowing the smoke back into the fireplace. By having an exhaust fan, you are drawing the air out of the fireplace and exasperating the problem. Perhaps the fan could have a reverse switch attached, just like a ceiling fan in your home. That way you can use the fan in either direction depending on your needs. (Of course you would have to change the external vent covers you currently have.
Great idea. However I would need to create a positive pressure in the shed for that to work. When i built my shed i need a lot of air flow to release a ton of moister that is coming out of the wood. You would be amazed how much water is in wood. When i load a couple cords of wood, the next day the ceiling is dripping. Thanks for the idea.
What do you know about log boilers?
No. Haven't seen to many of them.. Sorry
nice a+++++++++++++++++++++++
whats the dimensions of your wood shed/how many cord can you hold
dimensions are 28 feet by 16 and can store about 20 plus cord
Love the shed. What kind of boiler is that one?
I am looking at getting a wood boiler. I live in Wisconsin so we have some cold long winters.
I have a 1000 square foot home. It is Old and drafty. We have a new and well insulated 800 square foot shop with 12 foot ceilings and a 400 square foot rec room upstairs. I would like something efficient on wood and be able to fill 2times a day (or less in warmer weather) What current model boiler would you recommend?
Looks like a Woodmaster. Anyone running an install business would be apt to respond.
How many sq ft do u heat. How much wood do you use. I just got a 4400 like yours. I have about 4,000 sq ft i want to heat. House and garage
I heat around 4,000 sq ft and I have a 5500 wood master and use 10 to 14 cords a year.
if u had to guess how much to build the shed, what would be your number?
i would guess about $2500 in material and all my labor. The concrete work was about $1500 so total about $4000
Great question! I should of detailed that.
About 10 K and i did most of the work..
won't leave in your blower on to your wood stove homeless smoke out if you leave it running??
I have seen allot but I have never in my life seen one inside a building.
How much u pay for that woodburner?...lmk
Back when i got my unit i paid $7000. Paid for it self 20x over.
See those Yuengling bottles 🍺
Great Beer. I did change whiskey to now Jameson.
So how much money have you saved on heat bill?$$ lol
None for about 20 years he probably is ahead by know but these things are insanely expensive
Depends on the variables but I've saved 40k over the 10 years I had my unit plus unlimited amounts of heat !! Its always 75 and sunny lol
all outdoor wood furnaces under insurance laws must be 50 feet from anything combustible, that's trees out building made of wood, fences house, the insurance company will cancel your policy if these are not followed, being this unit is in side a wood building the insurance company will cancel or give you so many days to fix it, now if the building you put it in is all steel you are ok, but your wood pile must be 50 feet away, as well as anything close to the metal building that can burn must be removed
This is not a wood stove, and it varies state to state, but here you can have one of these against your house as they are completely insulated ( no heat on the exterior at all ) you just have to follow flue guidelines. Also being the structure is not attached to the house exempts it as you can or don't have to insure an out building, its your choice really and depending on the locations you have to follow your insurance carrier if you choose to insure the outbuilding.
as an installer, it would cancel all coverage, some MFG make a model that is approved for indoor use and close clearances, those units can be installed in your home or a wood building as long as it is one that is approved for such, it is a liability issue not weather the out building is insured, because if anything including a wood out build went up inflames the fire will spread to other property from that out building, wood pile, , tree fence or what ever is flammable, I have had customers insist me to install it were they want it in spite of me informing them of the 50 foot rule, I have them sign a waver saying the install is being done agenised my opinion and in no way am I responsible or obligated to move it free of charge, and a year or 2 later they get a letter from there carrier to remove the stove to a location not less then 50 feet from anything combustible, including your wood pile, with in 15 days or your policy will be cancelled, that customer calls me up and blames me for putting it there and wants me to dig up the wires and water lines and move it at my cost, sorry but I tried telling you and you signed the waver, I do not get into a pissing match with them over the install, I just have them sign... now if they want it moved they pay me,, its bad when you did a concert pad and all, the bottom line with these as long as it is installed right, insurance carrier exempt you from any fire risk unlike a in home wood stove were they charge a premium for added wood stoves in the home
I have an outdoor boiler 10 feet away from my house that is in an enclosed wood building same as his, my insurance agent has inspected it and wanted me to help him build one just like it, it all depends where you live.
like I said I don't know what the insurance rules are in the usa, I just know all the companies here in Canada have the same as it is all written by the underwriters
Someone needs to tell this man it is bad form to be seen wearing new clean gloves .
Why aren’t there ever any women in these wood boilers/wood furnace videos ? Very telling. When it comes to these, it’s a “man’s world.”
Central Boiler. Mild steel. Boooo!!
My heatmor is stainless.
emerson bigguns
Titanium enhanced stainless
Your facts are outdated
Why did you put that piece of junk wood furnace after having a central boiler masterpiece ?
It is an excellent way to communicate- asking questions- however, your answer did not answer the question
I apologize if the question made you feel ignorant
That was not it’s intent
