I want to build a DIY gassified OWB and would like to see what you guys have built. Please, post pics of them here and give comments about what you like/dislike about it or would change if you could, etc. I know you have probably posted pics of your "prized posession" (or is that obsession) somewhere else, but let's post here and share some of our lessons and secrets.

Aquastats can be set up for a variety of purposes/ functions-- can you tell us all what you want to control with it (turn on a blower at a lower temperature, or off at a maximum temperature limit, or turn a pump on at a certain temperature, etc.)? In general, aquastats are just switches actuated in response to a temperature sensor, which is usually (but not always) adjustable for the desired temperature.

Go for it boatboy, I saved myself thousands.
Seton clone, stuck in existing out building 200' from house, with room for week and a half of wood. Love it........hate all the work, but not as much as buying propane. Would someday like to try storage. $1000 in materials for the boiler ( steel and such) $1200 in plumbing parts (pumps, pex, aqua stats, ect.) Seton sells this unit for something like 9 Grand
