Thanks for the reply and thanks for sharing. I know you are experimenting.
Thats so far an easy $110-$120 dollars a month without even being winter.
Thats cheaper than a gallon of fuel oil but wouldnt take me as far as a gallon of oil would to heat my house for the day with less hassle.
Thats 16 to 18 good cycles of 2.5 minutes of heat from the furnace with a .6 gpm nozzel for the day at 32f with a well insulated home.
Does it cost you more than a $100 a month down there now to heat a home at 32f with NG or oil/propane?

16 cycles at 2.5 mins is 40 minutes x.6 gallons/min is 24 gallons x 4/gall is 96 bucks!
You must have meant 6 to 8 cycles for the day?
Maybe I'm doing the math wrong?

I did it wrong. gpm should read gph. That would be a mother of a furnace.

Saw this post and while I am capable of building one, I saw some online ready built for around 100 bucks, so I just ordered one. I think it is a great idea.
