What are you using for a draft control? According to the manual, your draft is higher than recommended.Aldo8811 wrote:So I did a little work on it this evening, my red nut is 15 turns away from the boiler, the air shutter on the stoker is open about half way, the air on the little fan is open half way as well (the fan is off at rest). While checking tonight, the stoker was on and a lot of air was blowing out the little fan so I wired it to come on with the stoker. I have, during a call for for heat, turned the stoker off and check the draft, -.04. I haven't checked it lately at rest but it typically is a strong neg .02

Using a barometric damper. I added a little weight to it last night and got the draft down to just a smidge over ( or I guess it's really under ) neg .02. I also removed 1 more pin from the timer. Still burning tonight so I guess I haven't killed it yet.
