General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / side arm hot water exchanger....

« on: November 16, 2013, 06:13:16 PM »

I am going to make a side arm heat exchanger for my electric hot water heater out of stainless steel....I can get scraps from my buddy that works for a company that makes maple products, evap. and so on....I was going to take a 2 inch pipe or 3 inch pipe about 24 inch or 36 inch long,drill 2 holes in the side of it....one at the top on the side for boiler hot in and one on the bottom on the side for boiler water to go out with one inch pipe, threaded on ends to except 1inch female pex fitting with barbed end..........then run 1 inch threw center for hot water heater water to run threw with 1 inch threded ends as well.....like the copper ones you can buy just out stainless steel..... I can do all the work in my own fab shop.....I can tig weld it all together and cut threads in 1 inch pipe and so on....what do you think? It will last a long time this way and wont have anything it except time.....

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / started my boiler up for the first time this year......i love that feeling.....

« on: October 21, 2013, 05:31:55 PM »

I fired up my Thermo-control boiler for the first time this year.....I love the feeling of nice comfort and steady heat.....Now if I can get my shop added on in the spring, so my boiler will be in my shop instead being in a small insulated shed were the out door boiler I had was...I will be happy....I will also be putting a wood shed on the very end of my shop.....that will be nice....everything will be out of the weather......I will be able to open a man door and grab wood out of wood shed and bring it in my shop and throw it in boiler.....

Site Suggestions / indoor wood boiler suggestion?

« on: November 26, 2012, 03:41:29 PM »

I know this is an outdoor wood boiler forum but some of us had some problems with our out door boilers and ended up buying indoor models.....or guys just went that option instead of an outdoor to begin with........they are same as outdoor boilers just designed to be indoors....just an idea
mods thanks for reading this......suggestion
