So far so good. I have been up and running for just over two weeks now with the new boiler I built. I am having to relearn how to burn wood in it since I have been burning wood in a inside wood stove for years. Like not having to Check the thing every three or four hours plus trying to get use to oping it up and not seeing any fire or much sign of life like its going out but when it calls for heat and that blower kicks on within minutes it's all up in flames again. Oh ya and not having to clean up the mess I had to put with in the basement from all the wood and ash!!!!!!!!!! ;D
Thats the best part!! No mess in a basement from all the wood and ash...Gotta love it!..Happy Burning!

I got the water heater connected yesterday, started a fire, and as soon as we got home from church I finished the heat exchanger plumbing and am now heating with wood.
