Just wondering what temp range you are running your owb.. I have a stainless Empyre about 100 from my house, it is set to stay between 160 and 173.. didnt know if that was close to what everyone else is running or not.. thanks!
Plus there just in't much reason to keep the water that hot.
Warmer temps (high 40's and up) if it's gonna stay there for awhile, I'll turn it down to 150. Other than that, I leave it at 170.
Only reason I turn it down when it's warm out is to make it easier to avoid over boil. Plus there just in't much reason to keep the water that hot.
145 all season works good for me burns less wood. Did some reinsulating on my boiler last summer too and now running at that temp I can get 24 hr burns no prob with about half a firebox full (less if its good dry hardwood)
What kind of boiler do you have? You don't have any condensation problems inside the firebox.
