I can't keep a fire going...I have been just building a fire when I get home from work /515.  The a-stat is 158/5.... It warms back up ...BUT I really don't lose much all day  …. If I set the a-stat higher the wind ...and all the sun will let my temps get to hot ! ..I have taken to a fire at nite /small then I shut it down all day and only let the pumps underground run ...and no blower either!….….just ramble ' n

It's amazing, as most of you know I have an old Wood Doctor 14,000, I shut it down when I returned from the Harrisburg PA. Show a couple of weeks ago and set up another G 200 for a show boiler for this year.
The G 200 is back feeding my plate exchanger in the shop and heating my old WoodDoctor then on to heat my house. I threw some green red oak into the Wood Doctor a week ago, ( it was out ) I just wanted to dry some of the wood for easy lighting when I pull the G 200 for my shows and I'll be darned, I came home from a job site yesterday and the darn thing was burning up my wood I was trying to save!
