I have an 034 Super AV piston you can have. Send address and it's yours. I did a restore with all new parts. Saw still ran good.

I haven't been on here for a long time. I'll try to get some pics loaded.

OWB's I was lucky enough to do business with 4 major OWB companies. I am pretty handy so I took the best ideas from each and built my own. It's is a Wood Consumer but I heat a 4000sq ft home, Floor heat in the basement and an exchanger in the furnace. I also have in floor heat in my...

Fire Brick I installed mine this weekend. Does fit nice and tight. Should be another good Mod. Does anyone pull the heat exchanger in the furnace to clean? If so how often. Thanks.

I made a well by installing a T in the pex below my pump. My Ranco does not read correctly so I am unsure if it is the well or the Ranco. Thanks..

I too did the Adjustable bolt trick last year. I think I will re-silicone for next season and see what happens. Question, It's getting close ( in MN. ) to the end of OWB season:cheers:. I have drained my stove (s ) the last 2 summers for various changes and works. Now I am good to go with...

I keep a spare blower, T-stat ( Aquastat ) in case the Ranco goes bad ( it doesn't read correctly ) A couple extra pumps because I use 5. I bought a bottle of anti-corrosion off of e-bay and they messed up and sent me 12. I'm set.

I pushed in regular fiberglass insulation between the door plates as per some previous posts. It does keep the door cooler and probably pushes some heat back into the stove but I am unsure how to measure the good that it did. It is nearly free to do it and it does make a difference judging by...

Wow, Was your well touching the fire box? Odd that OWB water temps would melt that probe.

This is a new way for the well but I was sure that with the pump forcing water down, The 4" horizontal would have pretty accurate water temp. With my other Ranco I simply taped the probe to the pex and it was very close to what my infered said. Maybe I will pull it out and tape it and see what I...

I have a 1" T installed in the Pex below my main pump. The horizontal part of the T goes 4" and then up 4". That is where I have my well. I inserted a piece of copper tube into the pex and put the probe in there and siliconed it shut. When I changed the Ranco, I replaced everything. I may have...

Ranco Weird. I had a Ranco failure. It just went Blank and that was it. I had a spare all wired and ready to go. I did the simple install and the simple program to get it where I needed it. I set the Temp at 165 F. Differential at 5, H1. Done. Soon my 250 was boiling and steaming. I looked at...

I was thinking of switching from the dryer flap draft to the full shut off that you describe. I am now re-thinking that. As it is with the dryer flap mod, You do get a small amount of air flow probably like leaving the ash door 1 turn loose. This inexpensive mod has made a world of difference in...

Wow... Same Blower @ grainger is $85.00 or should I say, Thats what they charged me.

Funny, I just mailed a Christmas Present in the Blower Box. My 1st Shaver, A 165 had so many leaks that the water overflow wrecked 2 Thermostats and a Blower Motor.. I got the number from Shaver and If you send them a note or call them, You should have the information back by July. It is a...

I had tried 3 or 4 of the standard Shaver water heater type temp stats. I didn't like the differential of the 1st 2. I got 2 different styles at 2 different stores and in my findings they all reacted differently. Some let the temp drop 15-20 degrees and then kicked on and some would not let the...

Funny how when I go out to the 250 in the morning and it is quiet and seemingly in the closed down mode but I can hear the fan . Then I poke the coals or move a log and she Rears the Blow Torch Head and Rages like mad. It seems like there should be enough fan to make it rage when ever the fan is...

Yeah, It pumped so much water out that the water softener regenerated 2 days early.. Wonder how much anti corrosion I lost.

Hot Tip Hot Tip of the day. Do not open fill valve, Get side tracked and return an hour later to see why you have no heat. The ice rink will be nice though.:angry2:

Caps. I have tried these caps and 3 others. All were $70 - $95.00, They worked ok I guess in the coldest of the season when there is a lot of cycling going on in the stove. I had terrible troubles with caps in the " smolder season " when the fan is not running as often and the house is calling...
