Hello People,been a while but have photo of my boilor working. Took me 4 different times adjusting the air flows in both chambers but think I have it? Takes about 25 minets to get to gasification then around 2.3 hours to heat 170 gal. to 190* With the outside temp. here been upper 30s and 40s this will last me 3 days.
But the second chamber gets very red hot,the firebrick and panels glow bright red, I can adjust air to get yellow to purpel to blue flames, can this hurt the boiler?
It holds 18inch long wood and the box is only 12 wide and 15inch. tall and 18 long, but one load seems to do it sometime have to add a half load if she takeing shower and did dishs while heating up,[takes long hot showers too]
When it is running hot I can add like damp cedar or hemlock and it burns it right up,I start it with dry hardwood.
