Re: Wood-fired Steam Heating
You'd probably have to fabricate one yourself. I have no personal beef with wood heat -- for a number of years it's what I used. At the time I lived in a very rural setting and was much younger. The vast majority of the population would find it difficult, at best, to utilize wood for heat...

Nests and Tiger loops cause more problems than they solve. And that is a fact.The cause more problems that you hear about, not more than they solve,
I know of at least 25,000 tiger loops were installed without anyone ever coming to heatinghelp.com to say
I Just installed Tiger Loop and it solved all my problems. Can you tell my why I did not have a problem?
The Nest thermostat is another storyThe folks who install them always call @pecmsg to tell him how much they love all the features.

Re: Leaky siteglass
When I had a one pipe steam system and serviced the sight glass I would wait around long enough after a call for heat - the minute or thereabouts after shutdown when that system would drop into vacuum briefly - to make sure there were no such bubbles. Also keep in mind you won't see any bubbles if it's the top grommet leaking under vacuum. So if you have a vacuum leak like this and bubbles, probably a good idea to repeat whatever tightening you need to do on both the bottom and top grommets.
On vacuum systems I sometimes see bubbles rising from the bottom up to the water level. This indicates a slight air leak at the bottom grommet. A bit of tightening on the lower compression nut stops the bubbles.
