Congrads on the build. Been watching progress. You will enjoy your stove I am sure. Sure beats paying oil/utility company.

well my stove has been running for 3 days real happy with it still working out the bugs like it seems to take to long to heat the water back up that when it dose kick in it takes it a long time just to heat the water back up can you hook an aquastat up backwards  becouse  it shuts down burn when the water gets to about 160 but the aquastat is set on 85 then wont start back up until water is below 100  thanks bull but couldnt find wiring directions at that site  by the way my aquastst is on the line coming from the bottm of the boiler to the house  might have to move it becouse it is like it is using all the hot water before making more  I do whant to thank every body on here  for support becouse today a coworker made a coment about my junkyard stove  looked  ------------- and    ======= of corse i came back   this is true but i have all my kids and dont live in my daddys basement so he is paying the heating bill. of corse i couldent stop after all the hard work and scrounging   before he could say enythig i stated is it going to be mom or dad that picks you up after work becouse of your  d w i  sorry to rant so long thanks for letting me vent every body have a safe thanks giving gary

Which model aquastat do you have.  Here is a link for the installation manual for a common honeywell aquastat.
