I've been playing around with my new boiler getting it rdy for winter and I don't see how to change the temperature differential. Stock it's @ 180 with a 9 degree dip. I'm guessing that's fine but I see some of you run a 7 degree dip and I might want to try that as I learn my heating demands and burning habits

I left mine the way Craig had it set up and it worked out good.

I see alot of guys running to 195 deg. Is that the norm for one of these boilers? Was thinking I might need that kind of heat for radiant floor.

CF, each boiler is a bit different, you should run it as recommended by the manufacturer, I suggest that our boilers and pretty much any steel boiler should be run as hot as it can without steaming off, some can go 195 without visible steam, I am not sure I would suggest that with a stainless unit, if a stainless unit runs low on water down below the crown point of the firebox and then gets refilled with water, the quick cooling could crack the unit.

Elvis........the owners manual is on the Ridgewood Website. Section 4 page 18 explains how to adjust the differential on the stove. It's not a big deal to set and comes in handy when the outside temperature swings. Hope this helps.
