OWB fired up yet?

It is my sole source of heat. Once the house hits mid 60's, I fire it up. Usually around 10/10-10/15 around here.

 

I'm hoping to fire up the boiler this week, got it cleaned out, but a bit low on water, need to get some treated water instead of the hard stuff I got here

 

I have found that each hour of firewood cutting and splitting equates to a week worth of wood. This is my first season of having enough wood cut last year for this season. I am a firm believer in minimal handling of the same piece of wood, so some new cut wood will go to the woodshed by the boiler, rather than stacking.

Hope it works out.

 

So my property has a lot of elevation change and really the only 2 flat spots are right in front of my barn, and where the OWB is installed lol I have a cord stacked right next to the burner, and have room for another 2 cord right there. I also have room to stack wood next to the barn and in an opening I made over the summer in the woods near one of my food plots. I do all of the bucking at the golf course unless I bring full sticks home, and split it in front of my barn because I can dump it all there easily. Wet clay/mud mix on a slope makes it hard to put it anywhere else.

Good news is I got home this evening from work and played with my son until his bedtime, ate some dinner then went out and fired up my Central Boiler Classic Edge 750, Started making a good coal bed, chucked some splits on and fell asleep. I just woke up went outside and Ive got a nice coal bed, stirred it up chucked in a handful more splits and switched on the t stat. Now its nice and warm in here lol.

I have a new electric furnace that was installed before we bought the house, have it set up at 68* as a back up in case the Boiler burns out for some reason and an indoor wood stove that can heat everything in the house except the master bedroom and basement in the case of power outage. I need to get up with the guy who installed my boiler and see where he tagged power to it so I can add it to my generator panel
