Polar Furnace / Review on G-Class?
« on: December 21, 2018, 06:34:54 AM »
I am thinking about upgrading from my nearly 10 years old conventional burner to a gasser. What is the latest info in regards to the Polar G2/G3? How does it compare to others on the market, like the Heatmaster and the like? Unbiased info is always hard to come by, but is good stuff when you can get it. Those of you who own one, what are the pros and cons?
Thanks
Thanks

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Paid Propane Bill...
« on: March 06, 2012, 06:00:34 AM »
My tank was just topped off and my bill for a years worth of propane came to $248. I do not burn the stove over the summer months..... just October to mid May. I heat my water with propane in the off season.
I feel like the $248 is worth saving the wear and tear on the stove and its components for those 4 to 5 months. Any thoughts on that?
Also, I thought I would get your thoughts on this.... I keep my pilot light lit all winter on the water heater. Had an old timer tell me that it helps to keep the condensation on the tank down, thus increasing the life of the water heater. What do you think?

Wood Doctor / Doesn't sound like Arthur is broke to me......
« on: December 08, 2011, 08:27:55 AM »
Found this online today. Couldn't find a date on when it was written, but the source was: http://www.turpel.com/turpel_132.htm
EDIT..... Just found the date on another sight, it dates back to 2007. Maybe he lost his butt in this, and it is taking the wood boiler business down with it?
"Arthur Turple, the owner of a Truro company has his heart set on bringing technology to rural areas across the globe. And after only six months in business, the world is looking a little smaller.
Netbundle president Arthur Turple recently signed a deal to provide wireless Internet to Kazakhstan, a country located south of Russia and west of China. At the moment, only four per cent of the population accesses the Internet. His company will provide all equipment necessary for the job, with a large portion of fibre wire coming from an old military base in the country. “There’s a big portion of the country that has nothing and you can only run wireless so far.”
Netbundle will also be offering a much cheaper plan for Internet, which now costs $118 a month just for dial-up access. “We need to start at $20 a month so we can get everyone on.” The first phase of the project is worth $60 million and there will be a lot more where that came from, with the entire project reaching upwards of $500 million.
Arthur Turple first entered the business world in 2001, when he purchased Wood Doctor. Earlier this year, he went into business with John Hardy with the goal of bringing true high speed Internet to rural areas. They now have 10 towers in the Truro area. Somewhat surprised by his success, he can’t quite explain how he’s gotten this far in only six months.
“It may sound strange but everyday something good happens.” He said it could’ve taken five to 10 years to reach these heights. And with talks taking place in Pakistan, Thailand and Italy, there’s no telling what will happen next.
“I can see so much we can do ... but you can only do so much at a time” The Kazakhstan deal means he’s expanding his Truro operations."

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / How to lower pH level?
« on: December 02, 2011, 08:56:26 AM »
Hi all.
Just tested the water in my OWB and found the pH level to be too high (basic). What is the recommended way to lower it back nearer to neutral? If my memory serves me correct, my boiler treatment claims to raise pH levels (don't have it in front of me). Add more water?
Thanks

Fire Wood / How long will Ash stand?
« on: October 15, 2010, 07:28:00 AM »
I have hundreds of Ash trees that have fell victim to that little beetle! I don't need the firewood now, as I have plenty for this season. I would like to leave them stand, and drop them when needed. How long do you think they will stand before mother nature brings them down? I have some that have been dead for a couple years already.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Cadillac OWB?
« on: March 24, 2009, 08:06:03 AM »
Anyone know of the good, bad or ugly of the Cadillac line of OWBs? They are made by Pro-Weld Fabricating under their Fuel Source Innovations division, so I read.
Still trying to decide on which brand to go with.... so many options!
Hope it's OK to post this link.... if not feel free to remove it!

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Can you buy too big?
« on: February 27, 2009, 09:05:11 AM »
Looking at various models right now to install myself this spring.
My question is..... can you buy a burner that is too big?
I've read that because of many reasons, you can not always trust the sq. ft. ratings from the manufacturers. So I agree that if you are near the 75% mark of the supposed rating, you should get the next size up. Worst case would be have an undersized burner!!
But, can I go too big?
Thanks.
