Hello all,  new to the forum here.  Thought I would take just a moment to introduce myself.  Live in the Western Maine Foothills, after seemingly much research I have just pulled the trigger on a new G200 Heatmaster. 

Over the last couple months I have run my piping and power out to the slab, which is also poured.  Now just awaiting the actual setting of the boiler and plumbing up the internal connections.  Very excited.

Purchased the Logstor piping from SlimJim, who also helped me lay the pipe.  Great experience.  Quite the rolling factory he has there.  Slated for an install Nov 1 when I get home from Sea.  Greatly looking forward to it.

Yep, Slim is a hell of a guy with a cornucopia of knowledge.

Certainly seems it.  Pretty excited to get this boiler up and running.

Slim is a good man with a wealth of knowledge.

Where about are you mf40?

Western Maine in the foothills to the White mountains.

29 this morning... can't wait for full on winter.

You'll love it. I assume that you've never owned a owb before. I'm sure you'll be impressed but you would really be impressed if you came from a conventional owb to the gasser like it did. Post some pics when you can!

Oh yah, the difference in wood consumption is amazing.

I am really excited, as you can likely tell.  Been burning wood my whole life.... Dad used to make me handsplit all the wood when I was a kid.

We have 65 acres of mixed forest to draw off, plus neighbors that want to maintain views that don't burn wood (win there).  Forestry is my passion actually, I have an old Timberjack skidder, and any excuse to get on it and cut a hitch is worth it for me.

While I work in the oil industry,  I am still really looking forward to not burning any.  I will post some pics soon.  As you can tell, real new to this forum.

I might have to get you to meet at the bottom of the hill with that John Deere to pull the Magic Bus and boiler up that hill, I think I was at 12 mph when we crested it the last time!

Id like to find a smaller skidder someday, we have 50+ acres.

Even have natural gas here and would still rather cut wood than give it to a faceless utility.

Slim.... you just let me know... I'll be at the bottom of the hill.  That Deere would love to have that notch on her belt!  Incidentally,  if you come up the back side of the hill it's not nearly as steep. 

Hope that fair ended well... weather was pretty awesome the whole time. 

[slimjim]

We did better than we had in years so yes it went well.

You haven't installed the four wheel drive in the bus yet?

The hill leading to his driveway makes your road look like level ground!
