Slimjim, What is your thoughts on Ultra Fin because i have been researching them some and have found very little positive posts about them from installers. Mostly about their efficiency claims and capabilities.

Looks great. What end of your push rod pipe are you putting the packing on? I am curious because that is something I can't get planned out for mine. I like how the rear of the boiler is laid out with your controls and draft blower real neat and organized. Great job keep it up.

Two things i would wander about is would it break alot of other crud loose that is in the boiler and cause more problems and what would it do to some of the fittings. I know The Works will eat aluminum so I know it would not be good on an anode rod if you have one. Also unless you used the right amount for the volume of water your boiler holds which could be costly it would probably be to diluted to do anything.
I would try CLR somehow directly in the heat exchangers to be safe.
Just my two cents.

Jackel, I to am getting ready to build a gasification boiler. I am finishing up the planning stages but I have a lot of ideas that are similar to yours. So if you don't mind I may hit you up about some of your ideas. What is the purpose of your thermo couple in the secondary burn chamber?
I was also thinking of a damper similar to yours but with a different actuator but I am a little worried about it leaking air around the shaft where it pivots. What is your thinking on that?
