wondering if some has any in sight on this. thinking about relocating the drain on the unused return tapping, install 250 watt emersion heater, hooked to a ranco temp control that will go in the well of the aquastat for summer time shut down. I also clean and coat with fluid film but still get a lot of condensation. light bulb would be to easy!

thoughts behind this, can control temp, not wasting electric. heater should last for years, boiler sits out in its own room where I often don't go during the off season, kind of set n forget thing

I'm pretty sure hotblast did something like this to his... I'll try to find the thread and attach it here... Here's where Hotblast1357 started his electric element project:
