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 hahahank2 wrote: ↑Mon.

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.

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.hurrakahny wrote: ↑Sun. Feb. 18, 2024 4:50 pm VID20240218163604.mp4

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...
