Great, I'll go and put the kettle on to make us a cup of tea.

Bet that big Atlantic Ocean will slow you down a bit.

Post by: kvom on November 24, 2018, 02:33:01 AM: I fired mine up today. It's radiant heat in the floor so thermostat is set for 59F. It feels warmer than that but not enough to sweat.

Post by: Steve17 on November 24, 2018, 09:36:49 AM: Had mine on for a couple of weeks now. Saying that I run a de-humidifier all the time, it feels so much warmer when it's not damp plus it keeps the rust away.

Post by: steamer on December 23, 2018, 05:05:26 PM: Thermocouple is too close to the burner I think...I moved it down, but the threaded end has been worn out from changing it a dozen times over the years....

I think the threaded well is replaceable, ....but its cold and it's running right now so I'll leave it be
