Thanks everyone, I dragged it home today. Luckily there is a farm right across the street and the guy had a big old payloader and loaded it right on my dump trailer. One day soon I'll clean it up. The tubes are black and cruddy, the guy I bought it from is a scrapper and never used it, he's had it sitting there for almost 2 years and now he'w moving south so needs cash.
The story is the guy that bought it new didn't learn how to run it and had nothing but trouble with it so after one year he stopped using it. It looks about like that happened.
It does have the cat, any ideas on cleaning it or wait until I fire it up and let it clean itself?
I watched one video and they used a cable with a frayed end to clean the tubes along with the vacuum.
Looking forward to experimenting with it. I keep a few years ahead on wood so dry wood shouldn't be a problem.
I will most likely take you up on the offer of lending some advice and tech when the time comes. I figure I have all summer to get the pipe, get a circulator and a HX for in my furnace plennum. I do have a question about heating my domestic, should that be first in line or last in line? The furnace and elec water heater are right next to each other.
Thinking maybe a modine type heater in the garage and use the second set of lines for that? The garage is only about 20 x 22 sort of insulated.
Thanks all,
Dave
