How pumps can cause air problems in hot-water heating systems

I used to have a neighbor like that. Born with the sum of human knowledge and magnificently hard-headed.

Sounds eerily familiar, I think Smokey has family in my neighborhood. Thanks for sharing

Know people in other fields of work that think similarly.

Sad part is, there are a lot of Smokey’s on YouTube teaching people Plumbing and heating. It’s great for a good laugh though

P. S. I wish there was a picture of that install XD

This is a classic story!
Hysterical! I want to act this out in the classroom like a play. It has all the makings of a short comedy with education and training thoughtfully mixed in. Maybe an animated film. I could see Smokey in my mind's eye. I've worked with a couple of Smokeys over the years.

Dan's creativeness is magnificent!

Great information, but the Smokey embellishment was very distracting.

I read this before, but it was fun reading it again. I knew a plumber that smoked like a chimney and didn't believe in reaming his pipes. It takes too much time. He's dead now from lung cancer at a young age. A shame.
