I'm looking at installing a large biomass boiler for drying firewood or wood chip.
I'm currently considering either a Heateco 998Kw wood chip fuelled boiler or a similar sized Unical log fuelled boiler.
I've had a few quotes from others (Froling, Binder etc.) but they seem to be a heck of a lot more money.
I realise that wood chip will negate the need for constantly feeding the boiler. However, I only intend running it when we are around during the day and able to move wood in and out of the drying area. I also have a large area of woodland to clear and thought it might be easier to cut it into long lengths (whatever will fit in the burner really) rather than chipping it.
Has anyone got any comments on the pros and cons of each system?
Also, is anyone running a Heateco of a Unical boiler and if so what is your experience of it?
Thanks.
