What temp do you keep your water at in the boiler? This is my first year running ours, and have been told anywhere from 140-160. Any input?

Def not, especially if its a gasifier. 170-190 would be where I'd wanna stay with a gasser. The internal environment is far different in a gasser and with water temps that low you are simply begging for a disaster. Central, p and m, empyre, all recommend temps of 170 plus and all require a boiler protection system because even at that level, they still have thermo valves that keep return water over 140-150 depending on model. There return water is required to be hotter than your supply or there warranty is void

Never mind, I just read the post just a few below this. Changing the temp right now...
