Hello everyone,
This will be my first full winter running my new Garn 2000 and I have some questions. After the instal in March of this year I ran it for a month since it was still cold and it worked great. I've had it running for almost 2 months (Sept, Oct) now and it's still working great but I wanted some other Garn users input on some things.
I've been having some issues trying to gauge how much wood to put in as the temperature of the water approaches it's limit. What I mean by that is if the temperature of the water is at 170 degrees and I put more wood into the already burning fire, I usually go over the recommended temperature. Maybe it just comes with experience knowing your wood and knowing that if I put this many pieces of this size wood in the burn chamber that I should expect X degrees of increase in the water? So far I've been overshooting the mark and as soon as the take reaches around 190 degrees the water from the overflow tube on the front bottom of the Garn starts to drip all over the floor. I've put a little container there to catch it now but I still don't like that I'm losing some of the water in the tank.
I've got some more questions but I'll leave it at that for now.
Thanks,
Neil
