Well we are almost at the point where we can hook up a heat source to our in-floor heat system in the work shop but now I'm having second thoughts about the heat source.
A propane fired water heater or maybe a boiler was the preferred option for convenience sake. But my neighbor 2 farms down just got his similar system working on a propane water heater and kinda went into shock after his first propane tank refill. It jumped from 48 cents to 72 cents and took a lot more than he figured.
We have tons of wood in the bush and it makes it kinda attractive from a "free" fuel perspective to go the route of some sort of wood fired boiler/furnace. Of course the downside of that is having to fire the furnace on a regular basis.
Jigger Boss, do you mind telling me a bit more about your system? Did you have it installed or was it existing when you got you place? About how much wood do you go through?
Oil or propane would be so much easier but the fuel cost . . .
