Hey Joe, if you remove the center screw from the existing receptacle then plug in your four receptacle adapter then use a longer 8/32 screw to go all the way through your adapter it will never fall out again! The hole in you 4way adapter lines up with the existing screw hole for that reason and you won't have to worry about it any longer! Then at the end of the cold season all you need to do is unplug your pumps and leave the light plugged in! P.S. not positive on the screw size it may be a 6/32 or a 8/32 screw but make sure it's long enough to pass through the adapter into the original receptacle behind it enough to secure it! 1 1/2 to 2 inches long I believe! Good luck and I love your channel! Keep the videos coming Brother!

[@kppr55]

Your right. My experience has been that the 4 way receptacle comes with a screw to keep it plugged in.

Not boring! I have watched dozens of wood furnace videos. This is the most comprehensive overview of these types of systems. This should be a million view video. Your insight and experience is invaluable to understanding if a wood furnace is right for someone. Thank you.

[@johnl8996]

Thank you for breaking it down for those of us who have absolutely no clue how those things work. I was always curious watching you use it this past winter but figured you'd explain it one day after you got it set the way you wanted. Have a great weekend, Joe!

[@bryanb5413]

Awesome Stuff. The center hole on the multi-plug is used to secure it to the receptical through the plate. It would never fall out again. Glad the boiler is working out..

[@MrLangDog]

Exactly what I was thinking to say. Might need a longer screw like I did.

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

Your videos are never boring. So glad that your happy with it! Thank you for sharing!

You could talk about raindrops falling or wind blowing and it would be interestng because your explanations are well eplained. Keep up the good work

[@mikerogers4885]

Did not see this in the comments, but, Using different wood types. When heating our cabin in the early fall or late spring I can burn Pine. In the winter have to use hard wood (Elm, Oak, Ash) to get better burn times and heat quantity. Our cabin is wood heat only so getting good burn time is important. As my dad would say, wood heats you 4 times. Once when you cut it, once when you stack it, once when you burn it, and finally once when you clean up! Love your video, Thinking of putting a boiler in here! Thank You.

[@tommythuntdeer]

Definitely not a boring video. Thanks Joe! You do a great job explaining. Good luck deer hunting! 🦌

Like the video .I am not going to be getting one but I had a few questions that you answered. Thanks . not boring.

[@SherryEllesson]

I found myself leaning back in my chair and holding my breath at times watching this. It reminded of cleaning out the two Vermont Castings wood stoves I had in my North Carolina house. Using the unburned wood chunks for the grill is a good idea! You've given me an idea for my own charcoal grill on the back porch here at my house in Delaware....that's after I make sure the Carolina Wrens have moved out of the nest they built in my hibachi.

Your green jacket is fine. Nothing a few strips of duct tape couldn't mend. Thanks for the explanation. I am glad to hear how much you've saved. You sure worked hard for that savings but that's what keeps you alive. We have a wood stove in our big three story house and it gets so hot in here. I like when I can figure out the ratio of different woods to get an even heat. Some burn so hot as you know. We only use a few chords and once got five cords of clean fence post tops from a lumber yard for $15 a chord. I missed Beauty in this vid😊

[@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures]

Great information!! Thanks for sharing, Joe!

[@dropshot1967]

May I suggest that next time you clean out the boiler you do so wearing a dust mask, and not just a cheap paper one but a proper one with a separate cartridge. Ashes, and in particular fly ash are very hazardous as they get in your lungs. Leaving the ashes in the boiler might cause premature rust damage as the ashes can trap moisture creating a corrosive reaction with metals. That can be avoided by cleaning out the boiler right after it has cooled down. PS. I don't have a boiler so check your manual as to the cleaning out. I just have seen other KZbinrs do it the way I suggested. They also checked the water quality in the boiler by sending a sample to the lab or supplier, to check if some conditioner/buffer needed to be added to prevent corrosion. But I think not all of them had to do that annually.

[@bullofthewoods9374]

that is correct. you really need to clean the boiler out after it cools. its easier and the flue as well. been using one for 20 years and ash is very corrosive and it collects moisture when the boiler is not burning.

[@missmya3972]

He mentioned that about checking the water quality and sending his in this year.

[@royreynolds108]

My suggestion is to start at the top in cleaning up(down) with the stack, upper area, ashes, and then the pan. That way everything falls by gravity and you only need to pull the ash pan once. I did that with our chimney and our wood stove.

- The plug that came loose last year, consider a spring across the plug. Not a tight spring but enough pressure to keep secure. Almost like a rubber band. You likely have a spare spring in your hardware supply. No worries about heat distortion. - Your jacket reminded me of my old winter jacket. Torn and tattered but still an old fav you don’t want to give up.

In the center of your adapter. There is a screw hole. Remove the center screw on the cover plate of your receptical. Plug in your adapter. Use a longer screw, and screw down the adapter. To the receptical, that will hold the adapter in the receptical. Just a thought, Joe Capo.

[@vernareed2692]

Wood ashes are good in several places! My grandparents put them on their garden, they're good on the walkways and harden up,i really tried to save some to put on steps,porch, and walkways,drive in winter on snow a ice because it melts ice,gives good traction better than anything!!!

[@kbittorf335]

That was an excellent explanation! It may burn better with a taller chimney and coupled with the more seasoned wood this year those afterburner pipes in the firebox should be more efficient. Depending of course on the weather you may consume less wood this year. 👍

Roses love ashes, should you have any. My mom pulled hers throu the -30 degrees that prevail in a western Quebec winter and fed them the wood ash she got from natural (untreated) wood. They were her delight and cause for neighbours' envy.

[@philweed1603]

Thank you for your video. The info is very useful.

[@carolscott3868]

We had a Jenson wood boiler for years and had our oil furnace hooked in series to take over when we weren't around....the gizmo you were trying to explain that register the water temp to initiate the furnace is called an aquastat, ran that system for years until we moved... during the day south facing Dutch stayed comfortable, then fired up boiler at night, had enough heat and hot water for the next day....PS I never left the ashes in all summer, felt they were acidic and wanted them out, just sayin'

[@frankgerlach5059]

Great video's and enjoy watching them. Noticed one thing you could probably make and that's a adjustable wide slide that instead of picking up one log or chunk of wood and walking it into your wood shed over and over, you could stand in one place and slide or roll the wood into the wood shed. Load as much wood as you want to. then go into the woodshed and stack. Repeat until done or filled to your satisfaction. Design is of course up to you, but I would start with a right angle triangle for the basic shape, with the adjustable slide Shute as long as you need. Just a thought, up to you again.

[@roobear78]

hope you kept that ash you scooped out joe has a lot of useful things you can use it for

Heck I live in the south and still wish I had a boiler like this for our home. I've only seen one garage in my old subdivision that the guy did radiant floor heating. Everyone that moved into that house couldn't figure out what the pipes were floor. Then they would complain that they never could use it in the winter. Lol

Joeford Charcoal . Everything burns. One year in the Adirondacks at hunting camp we burned a log that came out of the lake. It was so wet it was sunk along the shore. Get a good hot bed of coals and feed a little at a time and it burns

[@Trial-N-ErrorFarms-jk9iz]

Time to upgrade that duplex to a quadplex. Replace the metal faceplate and and have 4 outlets instead of the two. eliminating the need for the BS adapter. Its a simple upgrade. Perfectly safe. KZbin has many qualified electricians showing how to do that particular thing. Costs about $10-20 for a quality upgrade. It would be worth that for piece of mind to me.

[@aday1637]

I forgot to mention you can install a larger recepticle box and install more outlets without much ado. Those plastic-y add on 6 way one's are prone to burning open inside leaving you with no heat. Probable take a few minutes to do that then have a melt down with that 6 way.
