General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: Used Johnson Little John
« on: June 20, 2017, 01:47:17 PM »
OK, I fired it up today.
I got the water temperature up to 190°. And there are no leaks anywhere that I can see. Everything works just as it should.
I call Johnson today and they said that, based upon the serial number, this thing is about 17 years old. They must make these things really solid.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Used Johnson Little John
« on: June 15, 2017, 06:44:56 PM »
I found a used Johnson Little John OWB on Craigslist for $500.
The man selling it says that there were no leaks when he drained it 2 years ago. So, it has sat for 2 years. He says that he is selling it for a friend who just is gettting too old and wants to get out of wood burning. He said it's about 11 years old.
I know the old saying, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. But, not always, so it's worth taking a look at I think.
Anyways, I understand the basic operation of an OWB (I was planning to try building my own this weekend, but decided it was gonna costs way more than $500) and as far as I can figure, as long as the thing is structurley sound, there ain't that much more can go wrong with it.
So, am I right? What should I be looking at and for when I go see it?
