I never could get excited about braving the elements morning and night to stoke a wood hog. Don't take me wrong, as I also heat totally with wood, but my boiler is in my garage/shop, and bring in 4 days worth of wood with my compact loader tractor. I also have an airtight HE fireplace, and all the wood for it, is stored in my walk in cellar and brought to the first floor in a home built dumb waiter that holds 3 days worth of wood when we need it. Before retireing last March I worked for a company that sold Harman stoves (largest dealer in NYS) and we also sold and installed wood gassers (Pro Fab and Econoburn) The gassers will cut your wood consumption by at least a 1/3rd. OWBs like yours were outlawed here in NY, and at 8yrs old you are due to spring a leak. The units we sold had controls that maintained a minimum water jacket temp of 140F. If they drop below that, the transfer circulator shuts off, to protect the boiler from condensation, and with it shut off the user will be out there refueling it. Most, learn the schedule, quickly and it amounts to two loadings per day, if the boiler is sized properly. (Bigger is not better) just a matter of timeing. Loren, the Acg.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
