Portage and Main bl 28-44

How many of you guys have opened your boiler door while the fan is on and seen a blue flame. I have seen it twice. Nice hot and complete burn.

Everytime I burn it down to mostly coals with maybe a few little pieces of wood. I'm assuming thats when you are seeing it?

Yep. With coals, will see blue flames when its burning more efficiently. However doesnt last for long because coals burn out soon thereafter and its time to load it up with cold wood to start the process all over again.

As cheap as oil has become over the past few months, still have my house warmer than I would have with oil heat and still smile saving money in the process. I also like to think I am contributing to the oil glut because I havent burnt a drop of oil for heat since 3/2014.
