Wood Gasification Boiler

hammer73

Do any of you have experience with wood gasification boilers. I have planning in for a 2500 square foot house and plan to put in a gasification boiler but am unsure of the consumption of wood it will have. How many cubic metres of wood will it typically burn through in a year. I appreciate that it will depends if the house is occupied all day or not, if you have experiences please outline consumption as well as how often it is on.

Thanks for any help

i was in a very large house recently that had one of these didnt do the build just had a glance , some italian made boiler seemed alright , huge buffer tank and mixing valve . at least 14 large radiators in the house .
It was a new build owner was complaining that it never got hot enough he claimed he needed to add wood a few times a day the owner was a cranky fella though and would complain about anything , put it this way he claimed it wasnt great but he put the boiler on first thing in the morning and that was it for the day i was there late that evening to put stats on the buffer tank and even after heating was on and people had showered the buffer tank was literally roasting full of boiling hot water , which as far as i know was perfect .

I liked the idea of stacking it once in the morning and being sorted for the day. You would want a plumber that knows the story with these though there is a fair bit of extra work in these systems and cost a fair bit to put in .
