Wow! The clean biomass future is now!

Central Boiler combustion chamber

Last week Dean and Travis went to the Hearth, Patio & Barbeque Association Expo in New Orleans to get updated on the latest heating stove technologies and to meet and talk to stove companies. Three days was a short time but we made many friends and learned a lot!

The CENTRAL BOILER outdoor log and pellet furnaces stood out as one of the newest innovations. It can be imagined that in a sustainable biomass future, heating big buildings (even high-rise apartments?) with logs or pellets might be as useful as freestanding stoves heating rooms. The same (bigger/smaller) clean burning combustion systems deliver renewable, home-grown heat to occupants in bigger/smaller buildings. Maybe pellets could be poured down the same delivery chutes that are used for heating oil in New York City buildings?

Admiring the automated house-sized furnaces on display at the Expo made the possibilities seem so much better defined.
