Portage & Main / Thanks Slimjim
« on: March 09, 2014, 10:45:16 AM »
It was a pleasure meeting with you yesterday. It was very informative for my wife and I. I didn't mean to take up your entire afternoon. I will definitely build the manifold and get some of the basic install stuff underway. I'm sure that I will have many questions and will try to ask them on here so others can benefit from the answers. I will be calling corprate this week to put a deposit on a 250. Thanks again.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Another future P&M owner

Just wanted to introduce myself and say that this forum is an very valuable source of information. The folks that are on here and supply the knowledge from years of real world experience is incredible.
I have been lurking for about the last 2 years and the wife and I decided to go ahead with a boiler this year. In talking with the P&M factory(Rory) and meeting Slim Jim at the Cornish, NH fair last summer it seemed like a very good choice. Their customer service seems excellent as well as the products they produce.
I have already done some of the prep work last fall as far as putting in a 8" single wall culvert to sleeve the Logstor under the driveway as well as an electrical conduit out to the boiler pad. This winter I have cut, split and palletized 14 cord of hardwood(ash, beech and yellow birch). I am hopeful that will be 2 years worth of wood so I can always stay a year ahead.
My heating load is a 2200 sq. ft. 5 Star Plus energy rated home with a 1000 sq. ft. well insulated workshop. The boiler will be located 85' from the house under a shed roof off a detached garage. I know many people say to put them outside in the elements but I had the option to put it under a roof and be able to bring the pallets of wood under as well so I went that route.
I will probably have Slim Jim do the install when the time comes because that's his line of work. I am a builder with 23 years in the trade and might (probably) be able to do the install with the help of people on here but I would rather have it done right the first time instead of having to change things along the way to get the proper install. I am a firm believer that you should do a couple of things very well instead of being a jack-of-all-trades and doing them OK.
That's my project in a nut shell. I'll keep you informed of the progress as it evolves. Thanks again for the great information and hopefully I can answer some questions to help people out regarding things with building/insulation, ect.
