Wood boiler

[Swandogg]

City said I can't have a outside boiler can I put it in my garage? Can they stop me?

City can stop anything they see. That said you may have insurance problems with it inside. Ask your agent etc. I don't know why you would want to boil wood, unless you were a wood worker and doing curved chairs etc.

The City is likely aware of all of the complaints from the neighbors they get about outdoor woodfired boilers. I would find a cleaner fuel if it were me.

Ayuh,.... That depends on exactly where ya live,....

Some villages 'round here have outlawed outdoor wood boilers,....
They also wrote into the codes that a heatin' unit must service the building it's in, to stop folks from puttin' 'em in their garages,...

Where I'm at now, my outdoor boiler is still legal, 'n it's been there, longer than the codes,...

At my future house, I can't use an outdoor boiler, nor 1 in the garage,...
So,...
A tiny lean-to shed I was gonna tear down, has become a permanent part of that house, just to get around the codes,...
As the house rebuild continues, that ole fallin' down lean-to will become the Boiler Room, Inside/ attached to/ in the house,...

'round here, it's a STUPID Code, as everyone can burn wood to heat the air, but to heat water, ya gotta cheat the codes,...

Most of those issue/complaints would have been cured by adding another 6 feet of Stove pipe to that outdoor boiler. Ran into a discussion on a wood heat forum a couple of years ago. Seems in Canada there were areas wanting to regulate outdoor boilers. The cure was to raise the pipe higher.

I know that they make indoor models. Meant to be inside a garage or basement. Was looking hard at buying one till I found the wood stove that would heat most of the house.
