Looks good, Garni. Do you get much ash in that barrel under the exhaust outlet?

 

[brad068]

I don't get much ash. What I do get is alot of water. That barrel is almost full of water/ice/ash. Thats why my exh. pipe is turned sideways to expel the exhaust better. I am burning wet wood and my low exh temps cause the condensation which has contributed to the full barrel and the fact that we have been having a wet winter.

My exh. side is facing due south. I think that will be a prime location for my hot water panels. Thats this years project.

I get dirty icicles hanging off my chimney cap when it's down around zero. I assume these are from the water vapor. When it's warmer, the chimney emits only heat waves. When it's near zero and below, I get a white cloud of vapor that dissipates within about 10 feet.

anybody know where I can find the link of the video where the older retired gent in Wisconsin or wherever, that has a Garn and is firing it up. Not the same video as the interview w/ the couple at the kitchen table...


Thanks,

It may be the same steel but i got the building from a local company that has been around awhile, Hartje lumber co.

Total costs for everything is right around 20k. Thats everything that it took to get me heating with wood. I did all the work myself except for pouring the concrete floor. I prepped it and laid down the foam but did not pour it.

Its a 30x30x11' shed with a 9'x16' ohd. I got to build me a little dump trailer or I was thinking of making a Pug like vehicle to get wood in. It works well right now, I back in the truck, turn on the radio, and stack away. This spring I hope to have the entire bay full for next season and hopefully the hot water panels will carry me through the summer for dhw.

Hi Jim,
I am still above ground ,Yes.......
The Garn is amazing....... I have had a nice warm house all winter...... (however) <----- dont ya hate that part! I should have spent a few more bucks and gone with the 2000.
I am just heating the home with it and not the barn this year , only due to the fact I was not sure if I would have this all together so my wood was not up to par to heat both. I am finding that the 1500 does the home on two burns a day in the extreme cold. Now if I added the barn which is 36x36 three bay two story radiant floor though out, I would be looking at four burns..... Man there is just not enough time in a day...
Anyway, in all honesty we have not really missed having the barn heated, wifes gym, motorcycle storage my old boat project. toasty trucks... u know.....
Anyway sorry its been so long the company owns me all winter!

Glad all is well. The difference in burn frequency is exactly why I went with the 2000. The difference in cost was not that much relative to the overall price. If they had a 2500, I would have gone for that. I am toying with the idea of adding more storage, some in the house and some in my garage (500 gal each).
