Pellet Boiler Questions

[DBNH22]

So what is the average daily temp this time of year where you are in Denmark Danni?

Where I am in northeast US it has only gone above 0 C one time in the past 30 days and only for 4 hours. We have been averaging between -18 C to about -5 C during the day for awhile now.

Last Sunday evening the temp was -19.4 C and when the wind chill was factored in it was actually -36 C. That was at 10:30 pm when I checked right before going to bed. I'm sure it got even colder that night.

Hi Dana,

Well this winter, and the last in fact, has not been cold in actual minus degrees, but alot of wind/windchill. A normal Danish Winter can go from -2 in day time to - 15/-18 in the night - we are talking celcius. But the last coulpe of years it is not the snow etc. as much as my time growing up, that cools down the hous, but the storms (nothing compared with your storms )

But at this time in my area about 0 till +2C in the daytime till -3 till -7 in nighttime

Danni, I looked at the stokercloud website and saw that there are actually quite a few in the northeast US where I'm at. I also noticed that there are three units in New Zealand. New Zealand! I didn't know it ever got that cold there.

Yeah I saw that - what's next, Pellet boilers in GUAM? haha it's the new "black" everybody wants one

Yeah we have had an unusually snowy winter this year. Most places in New England have at least three to four feet of snow on the ground and some of the drifts or areas where the plows have been are over ten feet tall. Have you ever been to the US, specifically New England? I've never been to Europe but would love to visit Germany or maybe Norway some day. My wife has been to Germany and France. She loved Germany but hated France.

The world is F**KED up the last couple of years I think, but "what's to come," do not think it is getting any better/stable. Danish Winters were somewhat like you descripe years ago, and now I have to rush home from work when the snow hits the ground, just to play with it with my son before it is gone again

I have never been to the stats (yet) - my wish was to send the wife to the US when we were expecting our son, and then come over myself in the periode before birth - giving him birth in the US would give him US citizenship, not a bad thing to have, but the wife was not keen on the idea (both I and her has family in the States - me in Florida and her in Arizona)

Germany is a GREAT country, with a great nature and loving people - I ran Berlin Marathon each year, but switched for Hamburg instead, both Germany Marathons - love the country! France, well, I have been stationed for 7 month in a French Camp, and well... Only some of their colony nations soldier talked to me, that was untill the day I was the guy to go to, but just that day I could not remember any other language than danish they are special, and I understand if she likes Germany better. But I spend 2 weeks in France this sommer with my family, and my best friend and his family - the only European way to come to Disneyland .. I have just returned after 1½ month in Norway with "you guys," and I love Norway, alot like Denmark, just pretty nature and a rich government - haha

Florida and Arizona huh?

Never been to Arizona but Florida is not one of my favorite places. Too flat and hot. The coasts are definitely the best part of this country though, especially the northeast and northwest. The middle is just a big, flat boring place, with the exception of Colorado/rockies.

The US is a big place and so unlike Europe in that we are isolated from easy travel to other nations and cultures. I've never been to Mexico but I have been to Canada. Canada is a great place but it's friggin cold eh!

Number one on our places we'd like to visit is New Zealand. We actually thought about emigrating there but I think it would be too expensive. We're hoping we can at least take a family vacation there when the kids get a little older.

 

[Danni the Dane]

Sorry, not Arizona, her family lives in Nevada, just outside Las Vegas - I jingsed the geography a bit, just a bit

Florida should be freaking hot and moist in the air.. But it is my mothers kid brother who lives overthere and has for nearly 30 years as director of some branch of a hearing aid / sound isolation somewhat goverment contracted company, but we keep in contact when he visits Denmark.

I do not believe "the grass is more green" in the states, but the citizenship for my son would make his future more flexiable - I always look for ways to optimize everything (educated LEAN manager, hehe). But to make as much paths possible for my son to choose from is one of my goals in life

In my line of work af Sgt 1Class (my militart rank at the time), it is a bit different than most of my collegues due to I work with finacial controlling, procurement, getting goods in and out of areas where others cannot and all of it in operational invoirements. This line of work have forced me to meet people of every culture, religion, nationality etc, and to make a cooperation work - in alot of different parts of the world - I have been around

New Zealand, what is the motivation?! I know some old geezer from New Zealand set the world record a couple of times on costums motorbikes in the Nevada desert, but that is about what I know about New Zealand

We like the outdoors/natural world and it would be nice to live in a place where you can enjoy that kind of lifestyle 12 months out of the year. Also from what I've read NZ is one of the least corrupt places in the world. Between big business and big government and the collusion of the two America is becoming more and more corrupt by the minute. The government here is encroaching more and more upon the people's freedoms. Outsiders think life here is so great but in reality at least half the population consists of unthinking, shallow, materialistic, self absorbed, brain dead morons and you have to deal with these people every day in America.

 

[Danni the Dane]

Regarding your perspective on NZ - thumbs up from me - if that is your motivation, then go for it! There is alot of things to consider before making such move, but we only live once - a good friend of mine reminded me of that, not so long ago - it really made my think on my position in life. And about the corruption, in the world we live in today, what does "least corrupt" really mean, sure it is going to benifit the people? I really do not trust our officials, this i common for all nations - they are first off being the shallow, materialistic, self absorbed, brain dead morons if you ask me..

One thing I do not understand about the US - the 1%'ers, or what you call them, the rich f**kers that rule the country - WTF? that is as crazy as the Russian Oligags if you ask me.

Regarding the US, then there is a European saying "The US is the biggest western banana republic" as a symbol of what you mention - I know it is no Utophia overthere, but do not fool youself, Europe is neighter, but this discussion does not fit the internet, but has to be taken over a beer or a good bottle of red wine.

Sorry to butt in, but I read the thread and had to comment,
I can't even begin to describe the explaining I had to do when in Europe last fall when congress shut down the Federal government. The guys in austria (Windhager plant) were completely confused as I had to explain to them what was happening in the US.
and I'm glad you've had good experiences with Americans abroad. I'd like to think the more open minded tend to get out and see the world (in uniform or not, and I have a lot of friends who have done both)
cheers,
back to your regularly scheduled conversation.

(BTW I am a windhager dealer and have nothing but good things to say about the equipment, and lots of good about the company, the product and Marc, the importer)

Well, this one is far enough off the rails. Take it to PMs folks.
