Let me take you back to last January for a second . . . one day the GW overheated out of a clear blue sky. The GFI outlet had tripped. 48 hours later I was up and running.
Well, SNAP! It's January again. After walking the dog I put a few small rounds in to keep fired for the morning while I go get more wood. I go inside, have b'fast and take care of a few business e-mails. When I go out to plow yesterdays 8" of snow (in expectation of another 8" tomorrow) I pat myself on the back at the view of my VSF chimeney, warm house and lack of tracks near my oil fill pipe.
Anyway . . . I finish some rough plowing and as I am backing into my driveway I say to myself . . ."Self, why is the chimney smoking like that?" I go inside the residence and listen for the inside loop circulator, but I don't think I hear it. So I go to the GW and . . .
You guessed it. GFI tripped again.
Before I got the beast unloaded, half of the back refractory wall was orange. I like orange, but not there. Anyway, the shutdown/cooldown/restart only lasted about 5 hours this time. Better than 48.
But that GFI has got to go :shut:
Yet another reason I think solid fuel boilers belong outside.
