Hello everyone!

Just got a cold snap of weather and started my oil burner a few weeks ago! I like the feeling of free heat!!!
I have had OK luck with it, just trying to find a good combo of tips, and burner heads, and air flow etc.

I have done alot of looking around on the WWW. and it is hard to find a good site! This site is off to a great start!!!! I hope to add some info and help people open there minds up!!!!

I heard you burned up your cartridge heater?  What happened?

I'm not sure what the heck happened???? It burned off the wire going directly into the cartridge heater. It almost looks like it just shorted out against the stainless outer sleeve.  I might  not of seen how close it was when i originally installed it.

I ordered a new one with better insulation around the wire. Ill see how long this one lasts. I figured i wouldnt have any trouble for a couple years! I only run about 55 gallons through the furnace.

Have u started your furnace yet??

No, havent started it yet, but I should get doing that soon.  I should change the filter and that will probably be a little easier to do when it is warm out.  Get the oil sucked through the new filter.

Hope the new heater does the job. 

Burn on!
