I'm going to keep my eye open for a circulator, as you know I'm not staying in this house long so I don't wanna spend to much money here.

We are lit for the season. 24 ton of Lehigh pea coming Monday morning, here is a screen shot of the new location for the camera to watch the boiler from anywhere on my phone.

It would be nice if you could get a digital read out for the boiler temperature, so you could see it via the camera.

I've got a redi chek BBQ thermometer setup that's wireless that I have upstairs, I can also hang it in front of the camera to see it, the probe is on top of the boiler under the insulation.

I also installed a new green LED light wired to the combustion fan so that I can tell if it's on or not while away.

Perhaps you could mount the camera so it shoots at your draft gauge and mount the thermometers in the view frame of the camera?
Over by the green light? :)

Ya had it over there last year, not worried about my draft. This way I can see doors and boiler.
