An outside wood boiler in Alberta requires a firebox to be 70% larger due to the absence of hardwoods in Alberta
It takes 70% more softwood to get the same BTU output as a hardwood, like Oak.
I suggest that the front be a darker color - preferably black or charcoal gray
Why? The front has the firebox door and smoke stains above the door WILL make it uglier over time.
There is NO extra charge for any color or combination of 17 different colors that you want!
The sides, corners, roof and roof trim can be different colors - or all the same. Most people do the corners and roof trim the same color. It ties it all together nicely.
Clean out your ashes the easy way. with pull-out ash tray!
No opening the loading door and letting al of that precious heat escape, killing the fire and hen starting a fire again, in the middle of an Alberta winter!
