Hello all!
This is my first posting here but not my first appreciation for the vast knowledge accessible by forum frequenters.

I have a small farm that I would like to bring into self-sufficiency. I'm trying to wrap my head around a dream I have about a wood fired, water sleeve, heating system with a built in boiler/backup electrical. I'm thinking a boiler submerged in the water sleeve system that can route to a pressure tank for on demand electricity or bypass to non-pressure heat. Am a I making any sense? Any discussions you could direct me to as my searches have come up with zilch? Also, as this is my first exposure to steam power, any helpful discussions on that subject would be well received.

Thanks in advance,
Wes in NE
