New Tarm UP AND RUNNING...AWESOME

[garysec]

Been reading post for the last few months in anticipation of when mine would be hooked up and running.
Had my first fire Friday night and hasn't stopped burning yet and the oil furnace hasn't made a peep. Everyone
talked of the addiction this creates and they were right. I keep finding myself looking for an excuse to just go
into the basement, spaceout and admire. Still have a modine to hook up and domestic hot water but the wife
loves the 72 degrees with minus outside temps.
All the things I've read on here have helped eliminate many questions and made it much easier. I'm sure I'll
have some questions though.
Can not ask for a much better Christmas present then this.
Merry Christmas everyone and hope for a Happy New Year to all.

Congratulations! Nice time to enjoy that first fire. Haven't been up to the Northeast Kingdom for a couple of months now. Bet it's pretty cold. That's where I first saw -40 many years ago. At that temperature, I remember that tires 'thump' for a while from the flat spot on the bottom.

Stay warm and enjoy the results of your work.

Now I'm wondering too, where does the wood go?
Does it open up like a refrigerator?

I think the front swings open. From what I understand the front panel is insulated and covers the two chamber doors to stop heat loss. I think when you open the panel it looks like the older tarm,

I'm not sure about storage yet but thinking about it. I do think I will have some ideal time especially during warmer temps
and hate to have the system not burning during shoulder season. I haven't had the water temp at the boiler go below 165* and
95% of the time it is easily maintaining 175 - 188, even with it minus 18 this morning.


It is kind of like a fridge or closet, the front opens up exposing the doors and yes it is the new tarm.

Very nice!

I'm not a boiler guy, but it has to be good that when it's in the basement, any heat it does lose goes to the house.

 

[chuck172]

You say it's like a fridge, does it have a light in the firebox that always mysteriously be on when the door is open?

 

[garysec]

I'm sure it has that same nice bright light that your Solo 40 has when you open your door..... :coolsmile:
