I got tired of waiting for those over night temps 20's, way over due this fall, so I threw in the match a few days ago.

I draw off the top, had no boiling issues in the last two winters of operation, even on gusty NW winds (30-40 mph), my BL would tend to overheat to about 205 degrees, normal setting at 180.

Tried out the new logging tools for about an hour today, worked great, including using a 16" bar on my Husky 272. Very easy on my back.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: How full do you fill your stove?
« on: October 11, 2016, 07:46:22 PM »
Same here with my P & M 2840, enough til the next fill up. I believe it will burn less efficient when filled over 2/3 full IMHO. Good to have more open space to allow for heat to metal contact.

I turn mine on once every month. On my old furnace of 13 years, never turned it on during summer, same pump still works, I saved it as a back up for this furnace.

I always have wondered too if leaving the thin glaze, would harm the metal. I scraped off the flaky stuff and leave the glaze.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: Question on P&M BL condensation
« on: November 12, 2015, 08:33:36 AM »
I like my BL very much, really efficient. I don't care much for the old style bricks that they used earlier in this model which the bricks stand on edge, bad idea. Now they have a new version where they are more flat with built in spacers to keep them evenly spaced apart, instead of making your own 1/2" spacers out 1/2" round bars.
