    That’s wayyy better than most people get. Good job getting the smaller one, don’t worry about if you add another small radiator or hot water loop, it can handle it. There’s a lot of padding in the net sq ft of steam value.

    it takes a week or two of normal firing with several skims before it’s clean, don’t sweat the condensation in the glass

    It took me several months and finally a washing using the wand.
