Hello PhinPhan,
Being a newbie on this website, I tend to agree with everything these other posters have said. I think having a "manufactures" only page or list is a swell idea. I've been spending the last couple weeks reading over everyone's comments on many of the pages and have learned tid bits from each and everyone of them.
The only thing I tend to disagree with, and this type of thing happens on "any" given website are the folks who will complain about another manufacturer's product. Take for instance my having a Shaver and wanting to improve upon it...I've seen posters who actually put down a subscriber only because that person bought a Shaver to save money on the initial outlay of funds. Now I know that no one can stop all of these complainers, BUT if complainer does NOT have that manufacture's product, why are they complaining about it?
This being said, I do think all the ideas that these folks have come up with pertaining to this thread are great ideas. Better ways of plumbing; savings in plumbing one way or another; differences in thermostats; etc...so many varieties of ideas to utilize on this website and I'm proud to be a part of it.
I'm not certain what I can offer on here as I'm new to this outdoor wood furnace thing, but if I can be of assistance to anyone, just drop me a note.
