Before I discuss the specifics of the system, please allow me to visit a basic prinicpal in any burning system.   If you want a little heat, make a small fire.  If you want a lot of heat, make a larger fire!    The LDJ Amaizeing Heat system simply does that by

  • controlling the amount of fuel fed into the firepot , and in conjunction;
  • controlling the amount of air (oxygen) being pumped into the firepot to support combustion.

Controlling the Fuel

Fuel enters the LDJ Amaizeing Heat furnace or boiler via a pair of augers.   When the augers and blower are running,  heat is being created at the rate desired.   If those augers are allowed to run at the max rate, fuel would be fed so as to allow the maximium 165,000 BTUs.   But in many cases this is not necessary or desired.    Lets discuss how we trim the fuel feed rate.
