Ok, so I was "caught" today with binoculars at the top of the driveway focused in on the boiler chimney......... It was during startup and I was looking for any water condensation dripping from the cap I made. It occured to me that with all that steam and little heat there could be condensation and wanted to check, do I have a problem? I mean, I'm spying on the chimney, and I get this big dumb smile when all I see is steam and no smoke when I go outside. Hmmmmm, I think, all that wonderful woodgas (smoke) being consumed and turned into BTUs as it should.
I was told that it's not a problem if I do not expierence withdrawls in summer, or interfear with my life in winter. I may have a problem, it may be more serious than I realized.
It was then suggested that I go to my local Woodburners Anonymous Group, my reply, "well I tried but they had a woodstove in the place of meeting. When I arrived, six people were watching three guys poking the fire, and two were on the roof with a chimney brush. There were several others sharpening their chains to 'go scouting in the woods'. " The only thing that seemed strange to me was they guys on the roof, there was a fire going and it was my thought that they should clean/inspect the flue once the fire had gone out, ah well.
True story, well not the WBAG part![Wink ;) ;)](/talk/styles/default/xenforo/smileys/wink.gif)
Merry Christmas all!
