Thanks to all that replied and to those that live in MI and offered to help. I have the option of having someone fill it but didnt want to bother them, altho they didnt complain at all last year when they did it. Most that dont have an OWB find them very interesting and who doesnt like to add wood to a fire?
My system is forced hot air and obviously the system is wired for the propane to kick on if the boiler water temp gets too low. I will prolly jus turn the aquastats down and set the house at 55* and have someone check/load it .
I also thought of bypassing the forced air (let it burn propane) and just have it run thru the sidearm of the hot water tank with the hotwater tank adjusted to the lowest setting jus in case the fire in the boiler did go out and there was a delay with my help. This I beleive would require a lot less filling.
Im not worried about burning a little propane (I guess that depends on the weather) because those pricks at the propane company started to charge me a rental fee this yr on the tank because I havent bought propane since 03'.
Still have time to think about it....thanks for the info
