    Turning Pex Up Thru Slab

    There is also a specific device that snaps onto the pex, and has brackets to be attached to the rebar or a board, or other things. They're nice, but...

    FEED IT WOOD AND WALK AWAY

    Fröling is the flat-out simplest to operate. Load it, light it, wait about two-and-a-half minutes for it to fully establish the fire, and walk away....

    Two smaller Boilers instead of One large Boiler

    Multiple-boiler systems are great. If you need it. If you don't, and you are using storage, it's just added expense, for the most part. Joe

    Storage vs Boiler Sizing.

    If you run it flat out, that only means that you'll run out of wood sooner. You still only need 1.5 hours of burn time. I suspect a lot of the...

    Storage vs Boiler Sizing.

    You can, of course, only load it halfway, and start it sooner :) 250kbtuh for a 6000sf house is 41.67 btuh/sf. That's on the high side, and I...

    "Smart" Electric Meters - Anyone have one?

    Sure. Anybody that lives where it is 90+ degrees in the summer. I know it is a shock, but there is life outside the Northeast. :lol:[/quote]...

    What is the best gassifier return protection temperature?

    Joe, did any of this industry feedback come with details? These boilers that corroded, were they gassifiers? Were they being used with storage...

    What is the best gassifier return protection temperature?

    What is the best gassifier return protection temperature?

    Walls and ceiling can make excellent radiant panels___ Do you agree?

    Tell me about it! That's why I'd never risk trying to remove the ceiling below, in order to do underfloor radiant. The cost of repairs if there...

    Tarm not EPA cert.

    That lists only includes outdoor boilers. Tarm is an indoor unit, so it's not covered under that particular program. Joe

    Is Garn worth the extra $$$

    The Garn is a bare steel boiler, so the costs of insulating it and building an enclosure need to be factored in. The Garn is also atmospheric, so...
