First Fire

[chuck172]

I started a fire last night. Couldn't help myself. Finished the install of the TarmSolo40. After filling the system and bleeding out all the air I wanted to start a very small fire if anything just to dry things out.
I didn't get the gassification going as I only had crumpled up newspapers, kindling, and 3 small pieces of firewood. It worked.
All I have to do is wire the Honeywell L4008B and I'm done.
It's been quite the job.

Wow chuck, that was fast. Are you all plumbed and everything already? How long did your setup take?

 

[chuck172]

Yeah its complete. I also ran fin-tube radiation around the basement, and I had to do quite a bit of re-piping on the existing system.
I planned for this and got all the material and roughed in everything I could before the boiler was delivered. I'll tell you Mr.Ed, it was no small task.
Phase 2=Storage.

Chuck- congratulations! remind us what you are planning for storage- size and method (pressurized or un-pressurized, what type of containers, etc)

Thanks

As far as storage, I'm open to all possibilities.
I may even burn this winter without. Right now I'm leaning towards 1-500 gallon pressurized propane tank. Simple to pipe, no coils. I'll probably add another in the future.
I heard Tarm may be coming out with their version next year.
