Wow Mike. Those peeps got some money going into that place. You get to have all the fun. No fair.
Nice looking work. Is that rubber roofing on the whole thing? Or just on the lower roofs? What will finished roof be?

I hope they have their propane tanks in for storage already...

Burn wood?! Ha! They just burn money.For some reason I am thinking these folks won't be burning wood.
Mike, nice place you're building. Is that basement in the front for firewood in the basement? How big of a Woodgun did you talk the owners into? What's with all the flat roofs? They make me cringe just waiting for the leaks!
Thanks woodsrover. That would be a good space for wood storage. I think that house would need a E500 or E1000
The flat roof style makes me cringe not for leaks but for looks.
Hey how are you doing with the new WG?
Wow, gunstocks!
That is some B E A UTIFUL wood. Mommas gonna be happy with a new table.
How long before you can start working with it?
My friend built a table out of ?Bobinka? What an unbelievable wood. He just kept sanding and sanding and sanding and it then only needed some oil and it shined like glass.
This is a catch-22 to me. The digital controls are totally sweet and really add a modern touch. However, one of the major things that attracted me to the WG over the other boilers was its simplicity. I really like how everything is mechanical and off-the-shelf at the local home supply store.

The first gen of a pcb is not something I would want. I just had to replace the main control board on my ge fridge. Unknowingly in 2003 I bought one of the first digital models. Mechanincal timers and relays may take up more space but are easy to diagnose and replace.Back on topic, I'm with AC. We have equipment at work that runs on controls like that and I have to say they are very reliable, but I still like the idea of simple old controls that can be repair in the field. I'm sure you won't have any trouble with it but I'm just old-school like that.
I am in Trumbull. Where are you?CTFIRE, welcome to the forum. Where in CT are you?
That s interesting that you would think that from a video, but no I'm not on the job, it's just that Lawng Gyland Ginny accent that I have, kinda like Rocky Balboa. I'm a residential contractor, primarily a framing contractor..
So I think I have it dialed in. I was working outside today and some a a little smoke from the stack. Less than my traditional fire place, but still visible smoke. It went away after a minute or two, so I went to the basement. The wood gun was on and I peaked in the back air port and there was a good fire inside.. Went back out and confirmed no smoke. Was very excited. The boiler seems to be maintaining the 180 nicely. I check it every few hours and purge the gas so I can open the door. I am curious if I need a timer. Should I worry about it going out? I would a new thread but this appears to be the Wood Gun hang out thread.

Cornwall. Up in the north-west corner. Gotta be in a place I can pee in the front yard and cut wood and shoot in the back.

I went last season without the timer and even though I just bought it last week I still haven't installed it yet.
Without it I would occasionally lose a fire. But that was only in the mild months.
It was a little annoying but not to bad. Except that the damn oil pig was running
I don't know why I would lose the fire since I paid extra for the option of the FIRE STARTING GREMLINS!![]()
Hey Mike from Maine, according to your signature, what exactly are the laws of physics that my boiler will follow that I don't understand?
Is this one of the laws of physics?
Autoignition temperature
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The autoignition temperature or kindling point of a substance is the lowest temperature at which it will spontaneously ignite in a normal atmosphere without an external source of ignition, such as a flame or spark. This temperature is required to supply the activation energy needed for combustion. The temperature at which a chemical will ignite decreases as the pressure increases or oxygen concentration increases. It is usually applied to a combustible fuel mixture.
