Post by: coolidge on May 05, 2015, 03:56:17 AM
Using the last of the hot water from the boiler, will have to turn the gas on now.

That's one thing I miss is the consistent hot water from the OWB when taking a shower.  The water from the oil burner oscillates a bit (on demand) and I don't like that.  Roger

Do you have a tankless coil or an indirect hot water tank Roger?

For summer use, I use the tankless coil in my oil burner.  Roger

An indirect hot water heater would solve that for you and is far more efficient than the tankless coil!

I would like to keep it going but, it's not worth it. Plus I need to start ripping it apart and rebuild for the COLD winter that's coming.

Shuttin down tommorrow.
Using no wood at all,, well maybe an armful, a 24 hour period.
Running pump 24/7 cancels out the hot water savings.
Just me and the wife,,, and we don't bathe much ;D

That's what the Road King is for Kenny, 5 minutes riding naked on it and the stink gets blown right off!

I have several pieces left of a god awful ugly maple I split up, throwing a few big pieces in and getting a few days worth out of em. Hardly worth running the OWB right now but hate to turn the nat gas back on to the water heater.

Nice to be riding again, isn't it Kenny?  I've been using my bike to get work for a week or more now.  And, I know what you mean about the bugs, they are making themselves known and I'm not amused.  Roger
