General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: Wood storage
« on: December 31, 2011, 11:46:56 AM »
I built a three sided wood shed out of scrap wood and 4x4's.  It holds about 2 cord of wood.  It sure beats using a tarp.  I built a small extension on the side this fall that holds 1/2 cord of wood.  I am building another extension on the other side too.  I am using all of my scrap wood.  I painted it and the wife likes it too!  It works for me.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: Are people afraid of work?

I too find it amazing on how little some people want to work, I can not imagine a day without cutting wood.  My wife says I have wood on the brain when I am cutting but I pointed out to her that we save a lot of money, and it that translates into less money going overseas. 

I keep in good shape because of cutting wood, it is harder to get started for the season because of my age (53), but once I am in the groove it get's easier.  I drop the trees and wheel-barrow out the wood to my truck then come home unload and stack it and split the big ones and enjoy knowing I am in control of my life and not at the mercy of oil/gas prices.  Woudn't have it any other way. A simple life but more rewarding than living in the city/suburbs. 

Those of us with OWB's understand the benefits of hard work and we are not afraid of working.   

Time for a homebrew and some football!

I am running 150 - 160. It is working well.  Using a lot less wood and on a day like today (sunny) will not probably have to add any wood until late tonight.  I usually turn mine up to the factory setting in mid to late December.  A lot depends on how cold the mornings are and how much sun we get through the day.

It was the indicator, ordered a new indicator and replacing it was a snap.  Glad it was not the float.

WoodMaster / 4400 Waterindicator light is not working
« on: October 18, 2011, 06:29:55 PM »
My 4400 water level indicator light is not working. It worked a couple of weeks ago when I was getting the boiler ready for winter.  I checked my water level and it is fine, I topped it off when I lit the boiler for the winter this past weekend.  This is my 4th winter using my 4400.  My temp has not gone above 180 this week.  any suggestions?
