I can tell you that they start to smell like roasting electronics when the water gets too low... I shut it down then, it had been running out of power and I couldn't figure out why turning up the heat made little difference. Oh but if I had years more experience! ;] Not helpful, but I won't

Re: Boilers

This leads me to another thought I had lately, which is that of the areas of our hobby that present potential problems, it seems to me fueling and firing activities, and the construction of fueling components, present a much greater potential for damage and injury than do boilers. Good
