Re: Beckett AF Oil Furnace Help
@Cino You could stuff some newspaper in the combustion chamber and light it. I would have a fire extinguisher handy. And the fire dept on speed dial.
You may or may not have any liquid in the chamber but don't let that fool you any fire brick or insulation will absorb the oil and there could be a substantial amount in there.
If in doubt don't attempt to light it.

Re: Wood-fired Steam Heating
After experencing Canadian smoke from forest fires 1000 miles North of me all last summer, I'm surprised there are any trees left.

Re: Propane Explosion Destroys Building- Bird-in-Hand, PA
Danger can be mitigated but never completly eliminated. This is true with all sources of energy. It is true in all facets of life.
Look at me getting all philisophical while cold sober!

Re: Prestige Solo 110 boiler. Is there a way to switch modulation off and on?
If you are trying to mount your switch some distance from your boiler, like next to your thermostat, you can get it down to 3 conductors and spdt if you need to. Assuming you have 3 spare conductors available.
Pretty easy to graph the curve of the ODR vs temp. Room temp, refrigerator temp, outside temperature, freezer temperature. Gives you four temps to plot vs ohms. If you want to get fancy, you can add appropriate fixed resistance to your linear taper potentiometer so that it falls neatly into to factory ODR extremes. Not necessary. Can add a $10 timer and a button on the wall to add “hit once and forget “ for X number of minutes of high heat.

Depends on how we manage to amuse ourselves, I think. If you do any of this, write it down, and why. It will be confusing in a few years, without notes.
