Then how did the other poster (jrider) in this thread fire his up in 2011?  What did I miss or misunderstand?  Thank you.

I'm sorry, I misread your question, I thought you were asking about the Ultimizer, Good catch, the optimizer was first built I believe it was 2008

Thank you for the clarification slimjim. 

I am on the fence (sort of) between the mid-size Ultimizer BL-3444 and the Optimizer 250 (Indiana intended state of use).

I really like them both, I think next load I may pull a B-L and run it against the socialist rules here, what are they going to do put me in jail, it would replace a 10 year old Wood Doctor 14,000 that I now use as a standby for taking the chip boiler to shows, I've had zero complaints about it and I really don't think I will with a B-L series.
