So I am poking around the stove, checking the baro.....decided to look at the one on my oil boiler.....pretty sad. Set up
for vert on a horizontal run....how much has that cost me over the years? Also noticed that it is not exactly plumb....
how much did that cost? I never knew until I started burning coal..... Sad thing is this baby is cleaned and tuned up
every year and nobody caught it. Ah well, better late than never. This forum just keeps paying....... :D I bet most
baro units are not properly set up.....on a national scale, how much would we save if they were all set up correctly?
Mustaffa would choke on even more oil-gas. Sounds like an idea for a national plan...

I just made that mistake with my coal unit install. I 'eyeballed' the baro install instead of using a level. The baro never moved. Once I got it level it started doing it's job. It was off by at least half an inch.
