Hydronic clothes dryer

[al77]

Does anyone know a good source to buy a clothes dryer set up to run off of a outdoor wood furnace?

This sounds like a do it yourself project.

The only one I ran across. I don't have one but have though about making one or at least adding a hydronic preheat to the air input of my existing dryer.

The guy that installed my OWB is working on converting his gas drier.  If I hear anything more I will let you know.

Yeah I could do one myself, I was hoping to find a pre built unit. I saw that one at furnace parts site. I live in Va so I'm sure the shipping would be outrageous on it.

I guess there is not that big a demand yet for such a thing. I have thought about just putting a hydroninc heater in the shed and just hang the clothes. just need something to get me by in the winter.

my stepson who works at a power plant figured it out about a three and half year payback for me (3 people) at our electric rates. That is not counting the extra wood in the boiler.
