First fire of the year is always a long one. Gonna take a few more loads throughout the rest of the day.
Yup, looks like you have a ways to go. Mine seem to warm up real slow until the bottom of the bottom tank starts to go rise and then the pace picks up.
Coal reaper what is the amount of mass storage do you have?What kind of tanks do you have?What are you using to monitor your set up for your read outs?
But once they are heated up. Ahhhhhh. Not too hard to keep them there. How many tanks and how many gallons each?
2x500gal propane tanks, verticle in barn with ~5" spray foam all around. X-300 from controlbyweb displays temps.
This was the first summer in a couple that I let mine go cold and did DHW electrically. Heated min up about a month ago. Sure takes a while the first time - there's not much hot water going in the top when you need to send most of it back through the boiler to maintain 140 boiler return. Then lately I've been letting them pretty well deplete (100 at bottom?) so I can go another day between burns. Takes a while to recover from that too. Yesterday was the first day I'd burned 2 days in a row this year - my official 'winter's almost here' sign.
