Yeah good point. Is there any risk in having the wood delivered and if it turns out I can't use it, having it sit in my backyard until next year? I still have a fire pit that I'll be using too, but if there's a reason the wood can't sit out for that long, I'll definitely hold off on ordering until I'm sure I'll be able to use it.

>and had to have it lined to the sum of around $4k.

Oh wow, I wouldn't have guessed it would be so expensive.

Yeah, once I get the wood furnace up and running, I hope to eventually be in a situation where I can make burning wood my main heat source. Lots to learn and adjust to but in the meantime I had my oil tank filled to make sure I'll have heat this winter haha.

It's in my garage, and sorry, I'm not really sure of the distinction between a wood boiler or stove. It doesn't look like one that you'd see in someone's living room, it looks more like a furnace and the heat gets pumped to vents in the house. I do plan on having it inspected and cleaned since I'm not sure the last time it was even used.

Noted about ordering green wood earlier in the year, I'll be more prepared next time, just had a lot going on after closing on the house in July.

No doubt, definitely plan on getting everything looked at since I'm new to all of this like I mentioned. From what I can tell, the furnace is a Hotblast 1400.

While we're on the subject, do you have any recommendations on who can perform an inspection on something like this?
