Very tempted today to fire up the boiler today...windy cold damp weather... O well used the excuse that the silicone from installing the new door gaskets had to set up. So I guess I'll wait another week or two

I fired up yesterday for a test run. It is currently 55F outside right now and my house is 78F with the windows and doors all open. I don't want my Empyre 200 smoldering/rotting away so I am keeping it lean and hot right now until heating season starts as if she is running the last few furlongs at the kentucky derby. It is going through a ridiculously small amount of wood even though I am picking through the driest crap I can find. I do not have thermostatic regulation as I am just setting my wall stat on 'fan' right now to get my sh)(t together. My forced air and my DHW at the moment seems infinite. I am sure that will change when the temp drops.

Fired my new central boiler 6048 this weekend and is doing great.

Fired the Woodmaster 4400 last night, local temps dipping into the 40's and low 50's. Had a nice toasty 80 degrees last night for awhile, then again this morning. System is running and operating normal. :thumbup:

Ok I broke down tonight after work and fired up the boiler... Told the teenage boy his showers were no longer limited to ten minutes... Football season is among us and I was sick of Smelling his sweaty a$$ at the dinner table lol...

Yep. Started mine this weekend too. I have a pile of box alder trees in the field behind the house that I've taken down over the last few years that I was going to bonfire. Figured what the heck with this cool snap I'd give it a whirl. Been burning fine as the stuff is dry. I'll probably let it go out after the weather warms up again later this week.
