General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: AAAARRRRGGGGGGGG

I have 2 boys, 2 girls. My oldest son 23 and youngest girl 17 would dig ditches all day to make a buck, my middle 2, 21 and 20 wouldn't pick up 10 bucks off the sidewalk.
So when dad has wood to unload I push the middle two off their ass lol

I had a sidearm on my stove at our previous house and it never did work quite right, fiddled with it constantly.
I now have a 20 plate exchanger and love it, no problems.

Get the bigger tool, I have a pocket one I used for my 1" line, works, but takes a long time, and leave a big pinch in the rings, no leaks though.I used a big C- clamp to speed up before finishing with vise grips. You won't regret the larger crimper.

Glad you got the boiler on line!! As a kid my dad used a big fuel oil space heater and it clogged up 3 or 4 times filling the whole house with soot.
Fast forward a few decades my job was a truck driver delivering powerline poles, it had a loader on top of the truck and when the wind would get just right the exhaust would get you, same smell as that damn heater, it would make me barf lol, so I know your plight it is a terrible smell.
Now you can insulate your garage and have a huge man cave!
Great job! all we need now are a few pics of the boiler in action!
