What a nice pile of wood as a wood burner myself i always admire others hard work. There must be 10 cords in there lots of vary hard work. Looks great Glen. JeffinMaine
There are about 12 cords I have "inside" for each winter. We burn 10-11 cords normally. The outer "walls" of wood (go all the way up to the trusses) are another 12 cords. Extra inventory, but also nice to keep the weather out and the woodshed looks good from the outside year-round. I have a video with more detail on the woodshed I published a couple years ago. Thanks for the comment!
That's another winter season coming! I've also cleaned my boiler this week. I do use a device called "Inkbird" to control the pumps. Basically, it will sense if the glycol (in my case) is 130°F or more, in which case it will activate the pump. I have one pump circulating the glycol in the boiler tank 24/7. The other pumps are activated on demand. Would that be for heating the pool, or in the present moment, to stop pumping glycol if weather is warmer outside. It does send me signals on my phone about current glycol temperature and alarm if it raises above 200°F. In which case, I can also have automated tasks to dump heat. Everything can be customized to infinite. Very nice device in fact, not so expensive on Amazon. (Inkbird ITC-308).
Interesting. I did take a look. Seems very simple and inexpensive. Currently, when I start the boiler in the fall the one circulator runs 24/7. I have an aquastat that will allow the oil back-up furnace to run when the wood boiler water gets below a certain temp. Useful when we go away, but want the wood to last as long as possible, or if the fire goes out.
When u build your new house r you going to hook this up to it or r you going to put in a new one ? R u going to still keep your house that u are currently living in ?

@@timberterra It's all very hard work but when finished up it gives me a lot of satisfaction. Self-reliance no matter what the Arabs decide to do.

Morning Glenn
Good morning, Todd.
When u build your new house r you going to hook this up to it or r you going to put in a new one ? R u going to still keep your house that u are currently living in ?
The new house will have a new boiler. Too far away to pipe this one in. Not sure what will happen with the old homestead.
