Then that wire can power a circ and blower directly, check the amp draw allowed on the wire in the owners manual and do not exceed it with the blower motor, that will be the biggest draw.

Yes it is 110v.  I used mine to switch a relay to 24v and wired that up to turn the fan on in the forced air furnace which was simpler for me than wiring direct.  It could be done a few ways.

It is worth setting up though.  The first time you forget the ash plug, leave the door ajar, or have another air leak you will be glad you did.

SOOOOOO, a new development happened Friday at the Fryburg Fair and I feel pretty darn sure it came from the same folks who left Roxann hanging last winter, this is how I get paid for attempting to solve an issue for one of my competitors problem units, This was dropped into my chip tank at the fair to jam up my boiler, the only vendor here that is a direct competitor as well as the only vendor who has ever threatened me is the same vendor who sold Roxann her unit. What do you guys think, is this a good way to treat somebody who tries to help when there is an issue? Thankfully no permanent damage was done but it did rob us of running our chip boiler for the busiest day of the biggest fair in the northeast. THANKS TERRY!!!!

What is it slim and yep that looks like sabotage!

[slimjim]

It appears to be about 5/8 to 3/4 inch square stock, about 5 inches long, much longer and it would not have fed into the auger and an inch shorter it would have fed right through without a hiccup, They may think they done good but now I have a story to tell about how rugged the chip boiler is and I have their sabotage material to prove it, I still moved 6 units from the show and haven't even started doing site visits or phone calls yet!

looks like a bunch of birdcrap weld on it

[slimjim]

No I think it started out as square stock and the rounded sides are from my auger chewing it up for about 30 hours!

Slimjim, A couple of questions; 1) Do you know if Roxann has fired up her OWB yet?  I'm curious to know how she's making out compared to last season.  No one should have to go though what she went though.  2) If you can prove they did do that to your chip boiler and not some envirowacko, don't you have grounds to have her/them charged with vandalism?  Roger

[slimjim]

I do not think she has, I have not heard from her all summer, I know she was working on tightening up the house.  I don't call in the law for things like vandalism Roger,  first the law does nothing and second, I already confronted them at the show, they know they didn't break anything and I now have a great conversation piece for my shows,  actions like that always return to those who initiate it anyway, perhaps not by me but maybe someone like a Roxanne

Hi everyone It's been a while since I've been on...
Things are good here way different then last year so hasn't the weather..
Unit hasn't over heated actually so far so good

Radiant heat has been installed just turned on today I am a little nervous thinking it will take heat away from other zones..
cut and split wood in June the wood has made a difference

I had only one episode of 65 in the house but that was because of ash build up once I shoved out the ash the unit performed I still have the outside light issue not working when unit is at temp light will not come on.

[Roger2561]

roxann - Glad to hear things are off on the right foot for you this year.  I hope it continues and you have a very uneventful but warm winter this year.  Roger

What is the outside light issue? The light should come on when the light switch is turned to the down position unless the high limit saftey switch has been activated by too high of water temp (200 degrees is the factory setting), then the light won't come on when switch is down.

[roxann]

Morning everyone
63 in the house this morning temp was 155 on unit ...  no wood in stove. Guess I should of gotten up ugh...
The light doesn't come on when  the temp is over 185.
I am going to adding another 16 feet of baseboard  in the dining room and 5 more feet in the living room. I am hoping that will help some. 

Thanks Roger!!!

[hondaracer2oo4]

How many hours between loadings when you ran out this morning? What type of wood? How much wood?

[Homerglide]

I am going to adding another 16 feet of baseboard  in the dining room and 5 more feet in the living room. I am hoping that will help some. 

Thanks Roger!!!

I added some baseboard over the summer at my place too. Make it easy on yourself with air vents for bleeding the new lines. Best of luck to you for this heating season.
