i was riding in pa. last week and seen a owb on line,. it was a hot day. must have been heating his domestic hot water. i was thinking about getting mine going but its to hot outside.
 
My wife is disabled and has to have very large, very hot baths every day - I intend to use my OWB to heat the hot water during the summer.
 
My neighbor fired up his Mahoning last week. He usually fires it a couple of times (full burn) and then it idles enough to keep his water warm for DHW. His is a 750 gal unit. He is pretty good with his, as I rarely see or smell much smoke during the summer. Winter is another matter . . .

He is very curious about my GARN. I doubt he would switch at this point, but perhaps in the future . . .
