I think I'm gonna upgrade the thermostat 0n the back of the boiler.  I hear a lot of talk about the Ranco.  Does anybody know the part number.  Altheatingsupply.com has them but there are two options.  I would like to order the right one the first time?

Shaver Furnace / first time user

Well ive just about got my unit ready to run.  I siliconed in the plate on the top tonight.  I ordered some of the shark bite inline temperature gages.  Once they come in I think I'm gonna fire it up!  Before I installed the plate in the top I drilled and welded a 3/4" pipe connector in place.  I think I'm gonna upgrade the thermostat to the ranco or similar brand so this coupling will be a good place to install the thermowell.  I noticed the thermowell that came with the unit is four inches however it is inside a piece of pipe that is about 6 inches long.  I'm think it will be better that the stock thermostat but still a little isolated.  I'm hoping the one in the top will be in free flowing water.  I'm not sure what setting to place the stock thermostat??  Any reccomendations?  Also anyone have any idea about how long it takes to heat up the water jacket from cold??

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Shaver 165

I bought a shaver model 165 about two years ago.  I guess I was enticed by their web site.  I've been building a hous with the idea of installing the unit there.  I recently finished the house and now I am in the middle of installing the unit.  While looking for parts I found this forum.  Now I'm a little scared that I bought a Shaver....We will see how it works out.  I've noticed a couple of mentions about upgrade modifications that other users have done.  Could anyone direct me to where I could see some directions for these??  I think I am interested in an inline water filter, the ranco temperature probe and maybe a good suggestion on rust inhibitor??  Thanks.
