Well, I think winter is going to arrive. At least for a day or two. Then it looks like temps are going to hit 40 degrees a few times this week again. Oh, well. Easier on the wood supply. Hey, wait a minute, the first official day of winter this year is not until Dec. 22nd, so that explains this warmer weather! Winter isn't even here yet! :lol:
I filled the Wood Gun chamber almost 3/4 full, front to back, last night at 9pm. I got up at 6am and went down to check it. I could hear the boiler running. When I opened the door the chamber was completely empty. A few red coals left. Just enough to throw some small scraps of pine slab wood on top of them and get the fire going. I checked the storage tank and temperature was down to 160. Boiler temperature was 155. So the heat demands of the zones had been drawing on the tank when the boiler ran out of wood and temp went down. Nine hours out of the system when it is zero out. Not bad at all.
