Well because I am a computard and my wonderful vista system it took me a little time to get the video loaded on you tube.

Hey Taxidermist --

That was a very informative little video. Thanks very much!
If you like doing this, could you take us on a virtual tour of your EKO-80? I've never seen one. Could you walk us around the thing, inside and out? Show us the damper plate, which seems to cause so much trouble? the control system. Insides - loading/strarting process, and also all that plumbing hardware slung off the back. What is each item? What does it look like? What is its function? What does it cost? Being able to see the thing up close through your eyes woiuld be a real public service.

I have been emailing Poland. They say their boilers ship with British Pipe Thread, not NPT. Does your boiler have BPT to NPT adpaters on it, or did it come with NPT?

Regards
Smee

Very enlightening video; I plan on following your lead. One question........I've been looking around at BDs and see a price range from $22 to $89 with the tee. Yours seems to work perfectly. Would you give us a ballpark on your cost? Thanks.

I know that the above wasn't addressed to me, although I have to some significant extent been an agitator for the heresy of the benefits of barometric dampers on wood gasifiers.... (as compared to the orthodoxy, which is correct as far as it goes, that barometric dampers = Russian Roulette on low-efficiency solid fuel appliances).

call Patriot Supply- they generally have darn good prices, helpful service, and good inventory (I have no connection except as a happy customer): www.patriot-supply.com

pay specific attention to the installed site for the baro= cant get distorted with creosote deposits. taxi, was that on purpose?

Nope that was the cheepest way for me to install it as I only needed 1 adapter from insulated twist lock to reg black stove pipe.

Thanks to your inspiration, I set up my Dwyer man. tonight. I'm pulling a steady .11, with some moves to .115, and it's a calm night. So it looks like I might benefit from the BD.
