It's a Solo 140 with 850 gal non-pressurized storage.
It all works fine, though bridging of fuel is rather frequent, seemingly no matter how small I split the wood. Why don't boiler makers taper the walls out just a bit as they go down? This would be such a simple solution.
The boiler definitely prefers good dry wood, though, of course, I'm burning junk dry wood just to get rid of it.
I still think the owner's manual could use a little rewriting here and there, especially regarding the balancing valve before the Termovar. The manual says adjust as needed, but never states what the goal is.
All in all, I'm very pleased with the unit and would recommend it to anyone.
Spring seems to have arrived. That last little snow (two weekends ago) was rude. I corrected papers and drank all day... (and I don't grade easier with more drinking...).
