Still looking at gasifiers with more questions

[MaverickM23]

Portage and Main makes an indoor gasifier. I Have an outdoor model that I really like (Optimizer 250) so no I can't say much about the indoor model but if they make their indoor model like they do their outdoor model you should spend some time looking over their website. I have included a specific link to their Economizer IDM 100. I don't know if the size is what you want/need and you should beware that the unit requires 220v. My outdoor unit uses Johnson controls because they want to simplify end user compatibility. I looked at the Empyre Elite for the outdoor application but decided against it because the firebox walls were only 10 ga versus the 1/4" of the Optimizer 250. I like my boiler and though it is new P & M has been in business since 1973 and to my knowledge they have never gone out of business. I co-ordinated with thier shipping office and ordered my boiler on Dec 5, 2012 and received the boiler on Dec 7, 2012. I had an EKO 40 in my garage until the insurance company decided to change my policy and I ran that for 4 years without storage. I was temperamental when the temps dropped and I had to load in a bunch of cold wood but otherwise was quite adequate for my needs. Best to you in your search. http://www.portageandmainboilers.com/gasification_pages/g-economizerIDM.html

I will definetely take a look at it, Im looking at all the boilers I can and trying to find and talk to guys who run them without storage.

So you said above the aqua is set to come on at 160 and off at 180. But it actually comes on at 180 and off at 190. I do not know why the Aquastat would be that far off. Or why it would be off 20 at the low and only 10 at the high? Or is that two different Aquastats?

But I would think that if your boiler actually turned on at 165 or 170 and off at 190 you would get what you said you were looking for. Longer on time from boiler and less cycling on/off and still have plenty of heat.
