We bought our Maxim from Central Boiler dealer here in Manitoba, The Warm Woodsman. It was easy to deal with them. And we couldn't be happier with our Maxim. We didn't want to have to cut and throw wood around all the time so we opted for pellets. Maybe a bit harder to source but we have found them in bulk so put a bin right beside and actually just gravity feed them into the boiler. No auger or electric for that. So we should be good without loading pellets for sure for 2-3 months. It's great. Keeps our farm shop nice and warm. Much easier on tractors. Hoping to run water to the house yet too.

I've been a happy camper with my outdoor furnace an it's overall performance. Central boiler had what I had envisioned in outdoor stove to look like an perform. Although stepping into the unknown firing this stove an becoming one with the stove was a learning curve. With the help of the techs I was able to fire, control timing of the burn and to use properly seasoned wood. Still learning about my stove but with a little help from Central Boiler I now sleep warm nite without worry

With the expected surge in cost of fuel and possible shortages, the ability to gather my own fuel is so empowering and cost efficient. The furnace will pay for itself in a few years, making it a smart investment as well. I used to have an indoor burner but the smoke and dust and danger made it a no brainer to take the fire outside. I heat my basement making it comfortable for winter use and get a trickle up effect, heating the floor of the upper levels and still keeping it cooler upstairs to sleep. I love it and would never go back.

This furnace has been real good on the amount of wood and burn time. I heat two homes with the furnace and one is an older home with poor insulation. I only have to tend the furnace three times a day. I have always burned soft wood during the day and maybe hard wood during the night.
