Garnification, Do you happen to have any blueprints of your boiler? If not - how much would you charge me to make a set? Hand Drawn would be fine... I want to build a boiler like yours. Although your pictures would give me a running start...
Guys, I'm flattered. I don't have any plans of my unit and I don't think ML would like that.
Anyway, I'm looking to the future and might be building one like high E built. The tank is a poured in place concrete with the firebox/ flue inserted into one end. I guess the efficiency #'s are running in the high 400s% right up there with ground source heat pumps and the Eden pure heaters, and lil powerhouse boilers Just back of the envelope calcs right now though but he should be getting that kind of efficiency burning kiln dried wood; 800 count family size box of Diamond brand toothpicks. ;-P
Yeah, that guy was a real hoot. I went back and read some of his posts and can't believe that anybody could make some of those claims with a straight face. Wait a minute--you've got a bargain basement budget boiler and yet it's more efficient than anything else on the market. Secret formula. That takes some cojones, but those OWB sales guys got 'em for sure. I guess he finally figured out he was wasting his time on us. Too bad. I need all the entertainment I can get in the middle of February.
