Have Tim. I used to do a lot of work for Red Hot & Blue. Not tring to give offense or anything but the issue is the pilot. Also those smokers are design to have the gases blown around inside the oven and I'm not sure how that would effect combustion readings.

Sounds good

To me. I shake like a leaf when I pull them out of boilers to clean for fear of breaking them.

So you have two circs, one for the boiler and another for the heating loop.

Don't know how

You would do a combustion test when you have a gas and wood fire?

@ January 18, 2013 10:11 PM in New Gas valve receiving 24v wont open

110v HSI and 24v gas valve. Are you or the service tech checking voltage at the valve with the wires connected? Or are you checking for 24v with the wires off the valve. If you check with the wires off and have the 24 connect the wires to the valve and see if the voltage goes away. If it does you have a lose connection or bad gas valve relay on your board. Strip a bare spot on the wires to the valve if you have to.
