Over the last year, the neighbors large tree feel across the creek in the back of my property. Unfortunately due to way the sun was last night I...
For my edification :doh: In your particular setup, simple math tells me that if you had 2k gallons of storage you would need roughly 10 cubic...
That's one thing that I really liked about the Polar over the HM. The Polar has a really nice ECM fan ( high dollar too ) on it. The Polar was...
Apples to oranges comparison really. A Vedolux is a batch burn type boiler, you have to start a new fire everyday with a batch type IWB. G10000...
This was / is a problem on the older G series. On the boilers we have you can only have the bypass lever for a maximum of 5 minutes and then the...
I agree, definitely the cats meow. And no getting woken up at 445 in the morning because the boiler has gone cold for my some mysterious reason....
Out of curiosity, do you remember water temperature before and after the burn ? I'm assuming you are burning that much to cover a 24 hour heating...
Woodstove Database | Burnwise | US EPA the list is sorted by name. Click efficiency if you want to sort from highest -> lowest.
G4000 - baby version of what you have. :D
The bottom of your stove is exactly what I’m seeing with mine also. I have a touch of creosote on the hinge side of the firebox by the door. Been...
I know they had a problems with fans getting cooked on the original G series because people were leaving the bypass open too long and cooking the...
Same
I fully agree. A batch fired lambda boiler and storage tanks inside a structure that is going to be heated is the most efficient way to turn a...
Was referring more to the boiler itself. If you were able to insulate the boiler well enough, the environment it "lives in" doesn't matter. It...
I agree with campinginspector, they are a very highly regarded boiler. I don't have the space in my basement for one so that's why I went the OWB...
Sounds like we are going down a rabbit hole, might as well keep on going. What happens if the thing being heated is insulated so well that it has...
That’s still $2 a day at $5 gallon fuel oil if the furnace is 100% efficient. With temperatures in the 50’s during the day and 40’s at night...
That doesn’t seem horrible to me. That’s about what it costs me at .16kWh late fall and early spring. A gallon of propane is the same cost per...
Same, I have a geo system and gasser OWB. Geo will eat you alive in electric cost in the middle of winter. All other times of the year it’s cheap...
I’d take a mini split that’s 400% efficient over a 20 - 30% efficient old school OWB any day of the week.
