I leave mine and 170-180 until I shut it down..The boiler isn't gonna work any harder If i was to set it at a lower temp..During the warmer temps I don't burn anything for wood at 180F..It would be a same burn if I was to set it at 150F or whatever desired temp..Last yr ran mine until May 29th

Forecasted temperatures are in the upper 60's - low 70's for at least the next week.  I have a baby home and like to keep the house warm for him but don't see the house needing heat this week.  Should I just keep throwing a little wood in each day to keep the water temp up or just let the fire go out and restart once the weather gets back to normal?

I thought I read on this website on a different forum that it wasn't good to have the water temp dip below 153 with the pump on because it introduces oxygen in the water?  Can anybody comment on this? Is it different on a pressurized system?

Yes its different on a pressurized/ sealed system..I have a pressurized/sealed OWB.. There is no oxygen in the system.. I can run it at 100F if I wanted to and no worries of oxygen.. Yes lower water temp holds more oxygen than higher temps...

So, Bull, If ky has his set at 155, then his will drop below 153 to recover sometimes. Oxygen occurs, attacking the metal. Or does it not matter because of corrosion inhibitor or that rod?

Corrosion inhibitor helps a a lot but I thought 140 was the magic number to stay above.

That makes me feel better if 140 is the number.
