Today started with a power outage about two hours,not a big deal outside temp was above freezing.
Did find out after an outage my backup will come on if it's out long enough for my pipes to cool,still had 140 F in the tanks and was wondering why the oil was running.
Anyhow i finally got the temporary heat exchanger hooked up upstairs in the construction zone.All doors and windows in and sealed,roof insulated,and all gable walls.Will be nice to turn on a valve in the morning and have heat warming upstairs to go to work.Have been heating the basement where we live with the Econoburn for about 2 1/2 months,and the oil boiler about two months before, one month we were on a holiday.
The big push to get finished is on.... can't use the excuse that's to cold now.
I'm expecting to double the wood consumption,we were burning 1 load per 24 hrs if it was under -20C,at -40C we used about 2 1/4 ,each load getting around 3 hrs burn.
I checked the fire tubes today and they are covered with a fine coating of ash,have about 2 1/2 months use at 1 burn a day,still clean looking.
Thanks to everyone that answered my questions along the way.
One day I'll try to learn how to post some pic's and see what you think.
