Another Econoburn on line

[kgryder]

After just over a month of installation I built my first (small) fire in my EBW 100 today. With just three pieces of maple and some scrapes I heated my 120 gal. superstor up to about 130 deg. So I'll have a wood heated shower later tonight!
I still have some wiring to do to be 100% complete, should have my relays and wire tomorrow to finish up.
My original schedule was to be finished by Thanksgiving so I'm a few days behind.

Also Econoburn doesn't have the U shaped refractory in the gasification chamber like they show in the photo below. I called and asked why I didn't get one and they said they have change the design and just use a sloping design in the bottom. It seems to work ok today.

Sounds like you're off to a good start. I love those wood-fueled showers.

The change in the refractory shape is to help avoid bridging (when the wood at the bottom burns out and the wood on top gets stuck, failing to feed itself into the fire) The change from a curved surface to a straight slope should help alleviate that condition.
