Hard to believe November 1st shut down boiler for a bit
« on: November 01, 2016, 09:22:31 PM »
Located in West Michigan the fall weather has been above normal ranges.  Figured I would shut the boiler down for awhile, forecast looks pretty good for the next 7 days.  Crazy

Yep, I’m not that far from the Michigan line, 77 here today.

Haven’t even fired the G400 up yet, been running the waste oil boiler in the shop to heat the water, have gone a few days at a time between firings, doesn’t take much when all it’s doing is heating our hot water. Sleeping with the windows open tonight.

Same here for me, I had to shutdown for 5 straight days due to warm temperatures. Just started it back up two days ago and next week looks like it might have to be shutdown yet again and this is December??
