I did tests last winter with and without chimney cap. I didn't see a difference, just leaving mine on for now. Doing more tests with the front air shoot back on now. Also messing with set pointo and differential settings to find optimal settings for my set up. I'm at 177-185 right now. 15°F today and.snow

I still have mine set at 165f here . Everything is holding temp
My house with baseboards I just heat to 65f for this year.
But if I wanted warmer in the house I have to bump boiler higher
Might happen if we get a polar vortex snap.

Polar vortex starting tonight. Down to negative Temps for the next 5 days. Loaded the boiler with oak and hedge. Jist went to check on her and the dancing blue fames were crazy. It's loving the 175-185 set points. Getting good burn times and a clean clean firebox

You know I took cap off chimney because i was having warmer weather and wet wood  issues and did make a big difference . not much but its drawing better .. Im in middle of 6 acers of oak trees . chimney does not get any direct wind this could be effecting the draw on chimney with spark cap on .. I filled it tonight and it burned my wetter wood no problem .. other night I couldnt get a hot fire going . barometer might of been screwing with me also ...  :bash:
