Ha. Never liked nest spying equipment and the fact that they fail without internet is priceless info. I mean really, who needs a thermostat that complicated. I use a standard programable thermostat. It keeps house comfortable.

Same here. The computer and cell only thing connected to internet.

Right now I'm at 65.5 hrs run time and it looks like (approximately) .57g per hour.
Now that tank works out to 9.5 gallons per inch and I don't have an accurate starting point (filled level) but at 190 gallons I should be able to run about 96 hours. After that I'm shuffling fuel around from my other 275's.

Is the little guy under the "Keep Out" sign in the picture, your private security?

I ran my PTO generator the other day in order to charge the batteries on the old 720. Maybe not a practical solution, but it was kind of fun!

This nest/22kw/cold house story....... takes me back years...... to the first time I saw Mickey Mouse trying to do big things, as the sorcerer's apprentice......

Mickey's advantage as a cartoon character was that he couldn't freeze to death......

Thanks for playing along...... that 2 gallons/hr is for your estimated Max Load ?

Current consumption estimate looking good.

If Jim Carey shows up, run !
