Any update from NC? Interested since I also have an NCB.

The Natures Comfort does NOT have a door mounted blower. Mine is on the back and blows up under the firebox.

Where's this "dump" at? I'm also "just west of St Louis".....

Nope. Monarch caterpillar looks like this:

Crazy danged spring weather... Well, let the OWB burn out about 2-3 weeks ago and have been using propane for the few cool mornings. The furnace cycled a couple of times this morning (outside temp was in the low 50's). Got home this afternoon, had to kick the AC on (91° outside, tied a...

Spike says "Bark up!"

If I could heat my 2500 sq ft house with 400 gallons of propane, I wouldn't bother with wood. Heck, I burn 250-300 gallons just as backup heat throughout the 6 month heating season. When calculating the cost of payback, don't forget the cost of a truck, trailer, splitter, chainsaws, gas, oil...

I installed a red LED lamp on the front of mine that is wired in parallel with the blower. That way I can see from the house or even the road if the blower is running. If it's running, I just pull the ash drawerr open to stop the forced arirdraft into the firebox, stuff a new load of wood...

Aha! Fixed. When I went my PM box earlier, there's no notification that it's full... Anyway, it now has plenty of room.

Hello, what?

Ms361 I have a Stihl MS361 on the way. I could use the service and parts manuals. Thanks!

I've got a bunch of cedars, so I usually cut a few sections of 3-5" trees and stack on them. If you don't let them lie directly on the ground longer than needed, they'll last a good number of years. I'm on year five on some of mine.

Go read the bankruptcy filing - your answer is in there.

In order to evaluate the HX, we need to know the inlet and outlet temps and the pump flow rate.

Normal readings for an IR thermometer. The PEX conducts heat slower than does metal, so the outside surface temp will be lower. I discovered this a few years ago. If you want a more accurate temp reading off PEX, you need a contact heat probe attached to the PEX surface with thermal grease...

I feel your pain plus a bit. I need to have one knee scoped and the other needs a total joint replacement. Working on the scheduling, but I'm going to try to get both procedures done before the year end. At least I have enough wood for the winter plus a propane tank that has 300 gallons in...

Briggs makes no mention of premium fuel in their recommendations. They recommend 87 octane. griffonks, I think you're onto something there. I'm going to give that try later this week when I have time. This thing sure could use the fuel shutoff and filter. Gotta do those, too.

That doesn't make any sense since higher octane gas is HARDER to burn. I just got one of these things and spent some time last week getting acquainted with the carb with the primer bulb. Mine had set all summer and the main jet clogged requiring its replacement. I concluded that, although...

I said "drawer", not "door". They both can have latches.

If it doesn't have one, order and install the drawer latch. The latch was added in 2009 or 2010 or so.
