Nice dogs, I bet they like coal heat. Have you ever considered installing a stoker boiler?PC 12-47E wrote:Other than My "cold wife" and two Labradors....We only have a 130K BTU Burnham oil/ boiler with a power vent.....markviii wrote:

Hmmm...it's 8° outside, no firewood near or in the house, and I just ran out of oil. Where's my smoke pipe tees for the EFM?
On the other hand...my poor little overworked Harman is burning great.

Probably at a local supply house!! Do you have a set of pipe crimpers? They sure make life easy when installing a new smoke pipe. No need for anything fancy with the EFM, oil rated pipe will work fine. My dad's runs beautifully with 7", in fact it has draft to spare.Wood'nCoal wrote:Hmmm...it's 8° outside, no firewood near or in the house, and I just ran out of oil.

That's where they are ordered from, and yes, I do, got tired of using needle-nose pliers and cursing. For the EFM wiring I finally bought a BX cutter, got tired of using a hacksaw.Probably at a local supply house!! Do you have a set of pipe crimpers?
