I thought there was a thread on here about smoke hoods.

Portage & Main / Re: Optimizer 250 / Gassing / Tenting Over Nozzle
« on: February 05, 2018, 05:13:29 AM »I was having the same issue with mine. I just bought this home and she came with no firewood. I bought a load of oak that had set one season cut in 8' sticks.... Still pretty green. I'm uncertain where the air settings are since the adjustments are froze up (rusted). I adjusted the fan disc to around 1/4" to 3/8" after reading others suggestions. This helped out, but I believe the biggest change came from adjusting my differential to 5 with a set point of 180. After doing this I haven't seen a temp lower then 168 and she starts gassing moment's after the fan starts. Before the fan would run a couple minutes before she'd start gassing. This also cut my wood consumption down. When possible I try to put smaller loads in more frequently, probably 4 to 5 times a day. However when I have filled it and checked it hours later it seems tent less but the important part is I no longer walk up to it not gassing.
Welcome aboard Kevin.
You will have to take the airbox cover of the back of the boiler and clean up the threaded rods that hold the disc, coat them with never seize after you put them back together.

News for our part of the world is saying to plan ahead and order your propane early, anticipating a shortage due to the cold we have had.

So I have been in the market for a few weeks for an indirect fired fired unit heater, 300,000 to 500,000 btu. I have emailed 7 companies and called 5 of them, absolutely no reply of any sort.
Doesn't anyone want to sell there product?

Masonry heater, bet that radiants some heat after its warmed up.
I would love to have one of those.
Bet that lower left corner is some sort of air intake.

I used to split all my wood to 3-4" splits so I could pack them in there good.

Yes that is an old video, it's not running exactly like that now, but not far from it.
