Difference between gasification boiler and stove

viztopia

As the title says what are the differences and which would you recommend? Currently have an insert stove which heats the whole house. Only diwnside to it is that it's relatively small and has to be constantly fed to heat the house. Have an unlimited supply of free firewood. Am considering a new build and looking at a gasification boiler. What would people recommend?

Ask in the construction & planning fourm,you will probably get a better response there.

Coford conference or meeting came out with this http://www.coford.ie/media/coford/content/eventspresentations/events2008/bioenergy2008/Chopped%20Wood%20Gasification%20Boilers.pdf
and it should be of some value to you.I believe the main thing with all forms of heat production units is to have well seasoned timber drying for at least a year.
