Vermont Farmhouse Project


Reviewing the Wood Burning Boiler Features Video

Back at the Cobb Hill co-housing community, Bob meets up with builder Kevin O'Hara who shows Bob the enormous Garn wood gasifying boiler that has just arrived. The boiler heats hot water by burning the particulate in a second chamber after the wood has been burned. The hot water will be sent throughout the co-housing for heat. Community members will manually feed the lumber which will be harvested right on the property as fuel for the boiler. The individual residences will be tied together with Ecoflex insulated underground pipe that runs throughout the project. Each pod (there are three in the community) will have its own backup gas boiler for when the temperature really drops.
