I have not posted in awhile, but things have been running good with the KAA-2, so I thought I would just pop in and say hi. I started the boiler up just before Thanksgiving, (wasn't paying attention and ran out of propane) it fired up and went online without a hitch. The next day opened up the DWC, and starting feeding the water heater. We are averaging 1 bag a day (40 lbs.) to keep the house at 71. (days of laundry it tends to be more) :o With the coil in the furnace, it sure is nice having even heat though out the house. I keep tweaking the feed rate to see what works best, but I am not to sure how to set the air flow properly. But all is good, nice even heat, but I miss standing in front of my Hitzer 30-95 to warm up!! :cry:
