Hi guys. I've been reading everything I can on this site, trying to educate myself a bit. I've read so much input from some of you I figured I should say " HI" and thanks for all the great info regarding OWF's.
My boiler is one of those wooddoctor deals. Its on its 12 or 13th heating season and so far only one leak which I was able to weld myself. Mine is boiler plate.
I have some questions about adding to my system but I'm going to read more just incase I can answer my own questions. From the responses I am seeing there is a heck of a lot of knowledge here. I find 3-4 hours flyby when I start following relevant posts.
Oh.........my name is Mark and I'm from NewBrunswick, Canada. Just outside Moncton which, by the end of the day tomorrow, just might be snow capital of the whole freakin' world.

Welcome aboard Mark, which model / size do you have?

Good to have another Canuck on here. I love the winter and snow that is supposed to accompany it. We got just over one foot of here, but from what I had seen on the news, the Maritimes got dumped on. Good luck out there Mark.

Thanks for the welcome guys.
Roger winter has been great up until a few weeks ago. We got an ice storm that had some parts of the province without power for over a week and some even two weeks. That was followed by 3 heavy storms in about a week and each one was/is bad enough to force road and highway closures. I'm in the middle of the third storm right now. Darn close to 2 feet each storm plus drifts up to 5-6 feet in places. Its an old fashioned NB winter.
Slimjim its the medium sized wood doctor. 250000 btu , 150 gal

My old extra large 14000 did a great job for what it was! Pretty low maintenance, chewed some wood but very dependable, it's for sale if anybody is interested.

Welcome. We are getting a warm spell into the 70f. Next week it will likely be snow.
