Diesel supplies are said to be at red alert low availability in a half dozen southern states. Probably be in the news, soon.
This winter will see heating oil at some level of crisis by Jan. or sooner. Some are lobbying Biden to tap the Northeast heating oil reserve already, which is only a paltry one million gal. Not sure if Pa. would even benefit by that.
im more worried about the truckers, no bulk sales means no job. so thats my concern. i switched to coal right after i bought this house in 2018 and it was 3 something to fill it then and that was too expensive in my book haha

Taking the chill off the house hopefully for the last time this year
Latest modification for 2024
Now I can make it do whatever I want
It's a little hard to tell but it looks like you are using the oil gun as a blower with a speed control. Pretty neat! Looks like you have to run it real slow.

I can see one improvement which will help efficiency...
A differential thermostat to control the fan to keep the
fan speed appropriate to the needs of the house and the
home thermostat...Measure the firebox to the chimney...
