WE RAN OUT OF FIREWOOD! 

Yep. Thanks to you I’m stocking up on pallets and scrap wood for when I do a ash cleanout. Gets a little stressful trying to get fire going again. Was foolish and took out all my coals last cleanout. Lesson learned! Keep the videos coming Jay

Hi Jay! That’s a neat backup system for the wood boiler. Thanks for showing the details of how it works! I hope you and your family had a Merry Christmas!

Nice back up, I keep small pieces of wood and cardboard for that situation and I rake all the ashes right up to the door and then I put the bigger wood on top. Merry Christmas.

I have been thinking of an outdoor boiler for a while, after Hurricane Sandy, I refuse to install another boiler in the crawl space where it floods, so I resorted to 2 pellet stoves, then after 10 years a wood burner and a pellet stove! So if the fires go out, we can freeze here in NJ. Next step replace house, and then have 2 heating systems, one natural gas/ Yukon duel fuel, and an outdoor boiler as well!

My outdoor wood burner sometimes goes out unexpectedly at night. Its like the hot coals are hiding under a chunk of wood. So, if I need to get the fire going quick, I stack newspaper, cardboard and kindling like you did. Then I hit it with my all purpose weed burning torch until it's gets to forest fire level. I'm kind of impatient.

minimum return water temp should be 150 -160 to prevent condensation and creosote build up. i have a CB 760hdx and the min is set at 170 max is set at 185. Aqua stat is set at 160

Jay I always wondered how a wood boiler works pretty neat to have that backup. Down here in Alabama if we run out of wood we get cold. Take care brother

Assuming the outdoor boiler is decently insulated, 300gal of heated water would take a LONG time to cool to the point of freezing.....I'd guess days if not longer. I have two 1500 gal tanks of water inside an unheated cinder block building that stores my water supply from the spring, and it hasn't frozen in sub zero temperatures.

I have a geothermal system and there is a similar backup to provide heat with propane. You’ve got to have a Plan B. 👍👍👍

Hey Jay!! I've had this happen to me a couple times hahaha! Unfortunately I didn't have mine set up that way! I got lucky it didn't freeze!! Really like the way your set up!! Stay safe my friend!!

Can't use just a wood stove as a heat source here in CT either but you can use just a pellet stove as the only heat source.. but we still run out of pellets regularly

Awesome information. I was curious what precautions were made in the event the wood boiler temperature dropped too low. Guess with how much water has to be cycled your only option is oil or LP as a backup.

Good day Sir 🌞 Great video information Sir 👍 Have a great Day Cheers !!!

I've heard about backup heat supply but I don't know if its not on the books here or not enforced. Our local building inspectors are really awesome they give owner builders like me a lot of leniency. Not for important stuff like siting or smoke alarms but they could care less if you have a backup heat source lol

i would never let it run out of wood

I have no back up. My fire has to be kept.

My backup source is propane.

I like your new video the moming you did a really good jop keep that fire going buddy like I said Merry Christmas and Happy New Years I'm saying happy birthday to your son God bless too you buddy

How often do you have to refill you water in the water jacket

Hello Jay! I was wondering what happens when the fire 🔥 goes out.

3:04 enough tp?

Nice stock pile of toilet paper.

Why is set at 130*? Is that what they recommend? I’m going to be putting a boiler in this summer, that’s why I’m asking.

Are you a toilet paper hoarder??.....Lol...!

Think the water on that boiler is 393 , but I hate when I’m tired or just lazy and don’t go out to mine , 😂
