Same thing again this morning. 50 and raining. The gasification boiler is running good, making the showers nice and warm and keeping the chill off in this wet/damp weather.
Please tell me you have a thread some wherre on here about your gasification unit. that sounds awesome.
I never have put up a thread about my boiler install here. I did that a long time ago on another forum. Hmm. I would have to dig out the old pics from the Laptop some night and write the thread out. I'll see if I can do that tonight. In the mean time you can check this out. Not much, but ....... http://www.firewoodhoardersclub.com/forums/index.php?threads/first-firing-of-the-season.6726/
Dam nate. So is this the middle of your winter up there? Or close to? Like our January here in Northern New York?
Thanks Gasifier - looking forward to reading that, I'd like to get a gasification unit out in my attached barn about five years out. Plenty of room for it and storage. Campinspector has shared a lot of information about his setup that I've read closely. In the meantime the two wood stoves will be a sufficient stop-gap measure. Glad I didn't have to go "elsewhere" to read the thread. Don't like to stray far from home. To stay true to the original post, burning some cherry scrounged from a bud's house with the use of my wife's minivan with the seats pulled out. Get er dun!
Mid 40s for lows and low 60s for highs the next few days. I think it is time. Just might see a fire burning real soon here.
Yup. Right around the same here loon. Almost like you live in the same area or something. Strange. Some Ash and some Red Oak I found in the stack is burning in the boiler right now. Last night I ran the boiler a little longer and turned the thermostat up in the basement because it was going to cool down a little more. When I went to bed it was 82 in the basement.
39f this morning again Gas and used the coals to start the elm up after work yesterday. looks like a great long weekend here with sun and cool temps. The boys are coming out tomorrow for an early thanksgiving dinner. But thats after they load the trailer 5000 times!!!!!!
5000 times?! That should get some firewood moved. Good training for them. Make them earn their dinner. The thermometer on my back porch reads 37ยบ this morning. I have some Maple and Ash getting gasified as I type.
Oh. I forgot it's your holiday up there on Monday eh. Happy Thanksgiving Day to you and yours loon. Your right, the weather looks like it will be great!
I wish we'd start seeing some of these low temps. I'm tired of it being almost 90 in the afternoons down here
Looks like tonight will be our first burn. No sun today to warm the house up. Rain in the forecast overnight tonight with temps in the low 40's and not much sun tomorrow. Gonna have to take the damp chill out with a little wood.
Had to turn the t-stats on tonight! Babies room was 63* at bedtime. Still running on storage from...oh i dont remember when...monday? I wanted to clean my wye-strainers tonight but water is still at 170. I will wait, lol. Was 41 this morning. Windy and rain tonight.
Expecting overnight showers and a cooler day tomorrow. I just lit off some cookies and other assorted uglies and snot to take the chill out. All oak.
