I think I have air in my system. I have a primary/secondary loop. The oil burner and wood gun are tied into it.

The two black pipes on the right are from the wood gun.
The returns tees of both units tap into the top of the loop with the supply tees only 4 inches below it.
The loop circ rotates the water counterclockwise.
There are bleeder valves all over the place.
This is the second day onliine.
Last night it was holding 190* at 18 psi.
It didnt fire all day, in the 60's here, but I lit a fire about an hour ago and it come up to temp quickly.
I raised the t-stat to call for heat and when I went to the wood gun there was rushing, bubbling, percolating water sounds .
I shut the return valve of the wood gun at the loop and opened the drain valve on the return line of the wood gun.
The pressure dropped to zero which I assume would be correct. the water was clear and I shut the drain valve.
But there is still alot of noise in the primary loop. Not bubbling or percolating sounds but just a sound of rushing water.
what do ya think
