today i am filling my boiler and waiting for my wood guy to drop off what he could dig out of his snow/woodpile and i started wondering this????
why did i buy this boiler ??
I am shopping for a new one and i see more efficient units all the time ....
there are multi fuel boilers that would allow me to burn waste oil and coal not to mention WOOD but at a higher effiency and really what that big word boils down to is me using less wood .
now i would miss the cleaning that my boiler lets me do like brush, leaves and deadfall but so what.
this year i have used over 12 cords of wood and as i watch the temp gauge slowly climb i also watch the smoke blow into the air .
somtimes i turn off my yard light and watch a pointy flame blow into the sky and think about the word effiency.
now it has been just over 1 year and 2 winters with this boiler and i used to love it with all the hooking up of exchangers and fittings ect but now that i am done i want to sit back and enjoy the heat and i can i just have to stuff it with wood every 6 hours.
oh well ....live and learn.
