So while sitting over at a friend's house I was discussing the issue I have in not being able to see if the old Shaver is working. In other words, there are times where I can see smoke coming out of the flue OR if I'm really lucky, I can see the heat waves rolling out....so she came up with the idea of having some tell tail sign to inform me.
What do you guys think about this: Someone must make a hose clamp that is 5.5" in diameter ( because all of us Shaver owners have that odd ball sized flue pipe); take an 1/8" rod or brake line and place it along side the flue and tighten it down with the hose clamp; fasten onto the top of the rod/brake line either aluminum foil or a thin piece of tin that will flutter with the heat coming out of the flue.
This will serve three purposes:
1) Visual aid to see that furnace is operating
2) Save on trying to keep the binoculars steady while trying to look through them
3) Save on having to go outside and trudge through the foot of snow only to find out that the OWF is alive and well
Whatcha all think? Oh and just in case...I already patented the idea.
