a little over a year with this heater and its working great. I have made a few changes. I added another cabinet to mount a larger fan. The other fan just didn't have the CFM to make a good fire. I also changed my inside thermostat to a wifi enabled Honeywell. My current heat pump with gas back...

That is a great video!

It is non pressurized. On top there is a two inch hole and a six inch hole open to atmosphere. I welded in a extra piece I had left over for the flue on top to be a large vent incase it ever runs away and over pressurizes.

So far this OWB is working great. I've spent a few more dollars on it than expected, but the quality of heat is worth it. The first month of heating with it saved me around $50. Not as much as I had hoped, but I'm still tweaking it. I turned my downstairs temperature up, causing a lot of heat to...

started insulating my owb. turns out I only had enough to get almost a 1/4 of it done. I found another use for red solo cups! I like this spray foam insulation. I could find a lot of uses for it if it wasn't so expensive.

I got my concrete pad poured today. 4x8 pad 4" thick. it took 18 80 pound bags to complete. I even had a "little" help

I do need to do something about the damper. I tried some jack chain to hold it down but the solenoid was to violent for it. I'll figure something out. No intake area on the cabinet yet. I'll probably drill a 3" hole on the bottom if I need too. I'd like to insulate the inside of the door...

I'm not sure if anyone stills looks at this thread, but i'll post this video anyway. The lights and switches on the front are connected with the pump and fan. If the fan is on, the light is on. Click on the video if you care to see it.

I welded in my returns today and one more supply. Just incase I want to run another line set for my upstairs unit. No pictures of the supply, but you get the idea. <a href="http://s281.photobucket.com/user/cuda_1970/media/welding%20projects/IMG_20130929_175812_503_zps75a6a451.jpg.html"...

I cut these pieces to mount my gasket too. I cut them in thirds to save on material. Six pieces total <a href="http://s281.photobucket.com/user/cuda_1970/media/welding%20projects/IMG_20130919_202731_530_zps28b14e42.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img...

I welded in a drain and outlet yesterday then flipped it back over and filled it with water. 24 hours and no leaks. The level was exactly where I left it action shot welding in the drain I got it back in the shop and put the cabinet back on. The transformers, heaters...

Another update with no pictures, but I did get all of the leaks sealed. I walked away from it for a week and came back with a new attitude. The welds are ugly but they hold! Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 4

I should have said it is on its top. I rolled it 180*. I have tried grinding what I can and re-welding the complete area and it still leaks. I've gotten frustrated. I'm not giving up, but maybe I should take a break. I'm just not sure what to do. I don't want to keep globbing weld on there. I...

I have so many questions and observations about this photo I'm not sure where to begin... I can't tell because of the tree in front, but with the pitch of the roof his ladder is on, what is under the ladder to level it? Where can the top of the tree fall that it won't hit anything? Power...

a update with no pictures. After many attempts, I could not get the bottom to seal. The unit is now on its back in my garage waiting on some free time for me to weld it again. It isn't one leak, it's multiple small leaks. I know the cause, I just couldn't get good penetration welding from the...

I guess I'm going to have to ask for the part manual on the 025 as well. I can't find anything online...

Looks good. The ultimate form of recycling (I'm not into recycling as much as I'm into free). I'm currently building a owb as well. It is a time consuming project. I know this because my wife keeps telling me so. Keep up the good work and keep the pictures coming.

Chaikwa that dog is a Lab mutt. I have 2 black mutts and they are perfect. That one stays in the garage and the other lives on the front porch. Bark like Kujo when you come in the yard and love you when you get out of the truck. What kind of pipe are you using? Is it pre-insulated? Sent from...

Wire size is .030 on a Miller multimatic 200. 240 volt set for 1/4" at 19 and 330 I think. (I'm on vacation so I'm not sure.) Running 75/25 argon/co2. I am trying turning my volts up and wire speed down on my verticals starting at the bottom and moving up to keep the heat above the weld. Thanks...
