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!

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

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!

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..

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.

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.

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 KZfaqrs 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.
@bullofthewoods93749 ай бұрын
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.

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.

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😊

- 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.

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. KZfaq 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.

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. 👍

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.

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.
