I run a Heatmaster SS and have played with the temp setting quite a bit trying to find a happy medium where it does not cycle my blower as much, yet does not burn a ton of wood maintaining a high water temp, and boil or steam off water. I have found that on mine approx 150 on, and 160 off seems to work well, although I do drop that by 10 degrees in warmer weather. I also learned the hard way to never burn green wood (although I do toss a few small sticks in one at a time if they get in the way, but normall I only cut dead wood. Other than that, this thing burns anything I toss into it including full bags of trash. When I bought my furnace I heard the stories of only filling it once a day, even one even less. I think those tales are just that, as I have never been able to only fill once a day unless it is a low temp around 45 or 50 degrees. Then again, I heat my residential water as well via two heat exchangers in series with the heat exchanger mounted inside my furnace (one side arm and one plate "pre heating" the incoming water to the gas water heater which is turned off. I am likely gettting off topic, but I'd turn the temp up to 150 or 160. I think it will eliminate the condensation, and be more efficient as well.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
