Hey Scott. What are we lookin at? (sideways) That doesn't look like Stewey. looks more like an insert.
Whatever it is, it sure is gorgeous.
(TOTP, and don't even care)
"Where you goin with that gun in your hand?" LOL.
Beautiful Scott. Bet the Mrs. loves it. But you'll be missing Stew with them long burn times.
Always a trade off. Now you have something to view the dancing ladies, but need more tending. i think it's worth the trade.
P.S. How 'bout the heat out-put. Does the insert provide much?
Getting ready for a reload, I still had a few little blues sticking around after a 12 hour burn. A thought popped into my head. How hot is it. Not thinking I grabbed my cheap China temp gun and pulled the trigger. At 1546° it screamed at me, blinked and shut off. I thought it was dead Jim. Another pull and to my surprise I saw two bright red dots. They had not worked in over 2 years and that overload shock must have somehow acted as a defibrillator bringing them back to life. I'm a happy camper now.
That is definitely a hot coal bed. I also wondered what temp it would be in that state, but my IR gun maxes out at 700-800°. Nice photo. (P.S. And it's not sideways) I see one lone dancer in the back.
Hi Barney,
Do you have a thread here about that unit perhaps with pics and operating info
Not being a boiler guy it seems pretty advanced to me so of course interesting
Thanks
steve
Neighbor has a wood gas boiler. Uses about four acres of trees every winter. He stopped and asked me what I was burning since my wood pile never gets smaller. LOL!
Maybe his boiler is different than yours, but I frequent other “burning” forums and the consistent seems to be the same; they burn lots of wood.
Somehow seems yours is different and that could be, so I make no comparison.
I thought your post was interesting as well.
Is your unit something new? Seems like their would be more buzz with efficiency like that. Everyone I’ve seen locally and the many posts I see on other “burning” forums is that most wood boilers eat acres of trees. Which matches what I see of my neighbor down the road...every weekend replenishing his stash of wood.
