I decided not to have a fire last night. After all, tanks were 191 up top, and 160 on bottom. Nah, I said, That'll last.
I usually leave the ipad on the nightstand, and while watching TV before bed I looked.. 186.. and the spread was smaller.. so I knew the heat was already calling.
I woke up around 50.. tanks at 140! 22 Degrees on the thermometer. I started a fire without the draft inducer, after all, it was gonna dump 100 degree boiler water in to my already cold tanks.. Oil kick over happens at 135 tank temp.
It was a close call.. but no oil switchover. Phew... I mean I wouldn't want to burn more than the 25 gallons I already have since Oct 1. I'll be more vigilant tonight.![Smile :) :)](/talk/styles/default/xenforo/smileys/grin.gif)
