Here she is! Covered up & making heat. So far I love this setup. We'll see what happens when it gets cold. Right now a couple of Pine logs once a day are doing it. Gotta get some wood stacked in the carport. That was put up this morning.
I'm torn.. Do I like the boiler most, or the carport?? Overload!! Nice setup amateur cutter Gonna enclose the sides as well?
That boiler is good size which means that’s a good size carport to make it look that small! Does that help?
Well, that tips the scale a bit more towards the carport, we were hoping to get one this year, till I went on a spending spree. Besides, I don't really need a boiler for this place. But I have loved radiant floor heat since my experience with it in Korea. Warm floor, warm toes, happiness.
Rated for 5000 sq ft. 200 gal water capacity. I've got 3 100K BTU Exchangers + DHW. Carport is anchored with mobile home anchors. Shouldn't blow away. Nope, gonna leave them open for airflow. Just wanted to be out of rain/snow when loading. I can fit about 2.5 cord in there, so it'll have "wood walls". Carport is 12'X20' with 8' side posts. I went with the extra height to make sure my tractor would fit easily. The old M is pretty tall with the loader & exhaust.
Very nice. That's what I'm shooting for too. I'm looking at a 22x24x7. I will have my boiler in the center of the carport (but still on the end). What brand is the carport? Quality appear to be good?
I'm on week 8 waiting for All Steel to put up my carport. They have been a joke to deal with. Did you wait that long? Did they try to charge you an extra $200 to erect it over a structure (stove)? I told them I'll have them put it up right next to the stove. I'll move it over myself rather than pay $200.
They told me 4-6 weeks lead time & were about 6 weeks. They tried the build over charge with me too, but the local dealer failed to mention that, so it never showed on the paperwork. I didn't pay it because I wasn't informed. I would've done the same thing otherwise easy enough to move & anchor. Took a 4 man crew 1.5 hrs. to assemble. I had my area prepped & level so it went well. Hope yours gets done soon, otherwise call around, there are other companies that have quality products.
