Heating season 2011-2012

The mild weather after the first snow will not last forever, We are working hard to make sure all of the sites will be ready for the season. Most have already been fired up with the usual first fire of the season problems. There seems to be more problems with the outside furnaces probably because of the mass of the units plus the fluid drawing condensate during the summer especially a wet summer like the last one. After lubrication and turning some blowers by hand they usually come back to life,

We are looking to install a stove at the Catskill Watershed Corporation office in Margretville. This will be a new design stove that specifically list grass pellets as an approved fuel. This will be the first unit we have tested that is designed to burn fuel with higher ash content. Looking forward to seeing how this unit works on grass pellets.

More later when the unit is up and running,
