DIY Heat reclaimer
It was like this for years, the oil guy never did or said anything. I pulled it down and told the lady I couldn't put it back like it was . She said OK but her husband did it ten years ago. He's been dead for 6.
bill nye_3 Member Posts: 307The chimney was 90% blocked. The cool temps and poor draft probably is killing the chimney. I tried to get a picture of inside the chiminey.
Timco Member Posts: 3,040Just what is inside the magic heat box? fins? Is it supposed to heat the basement?
Just a guy running some pipes. martin Member Posts: 144Neat venting arangement
that arrangement made that oil burner into a non viewable ventless oil fireplace 100% effic. but soetimes fatal.
martin Member Posts: 144Just a box with a bunch of tubes thru it, they used to sell them the same place you could buy the fittings to make your spare 50 gal. barrells into wood stoves. those were winners also.
Bruce Stevens Member Posts: 133a fan blows through the tubes you see for basement heat and the knob you see is attached to a plate that you pull to clean of the tubes. They were put in by the cart full in the seventies, flue temp has to be over 500 degrees to prevent condensation the the chimney
Charlie Taylor_2 Member Posts: 34 bill nye_3 Member Posts: 307It isn't the reclaimer that bothers me. It is the venting arrangement, the flue connecter is supposed to slope UP to the chimley.
Bruce Stevens Member Posts: 133was just trying to answer a question
mtfallsmikey Member Posts: 765I needed a good laugh this morning!
Eric Johnson Member Posts: 174They made those for woodstoves back in the '70s. Real creosote machines. Nothing like killing the draft to cool things off and really get the black stuff growing in your chimney.
I've never seen one on an oil burner before but, as noted, that's a tragedy waiting to happen.
One Homeowner's View: Magic Heat for Gas
After installing a new 175,000 Btu Burnham Independence natural draft gas-fired steam boiler in my Boston-area home, I wanted to try and recapture some of the significant waste heat going up the flue, and discovered Magic Heat for Gas. I read many of the very skeptical posts on HeatingHelp, and approached the decision cautiously. My basement is about 1,000 sq. ft. and used to be about 62 degrees; after installing Magic Heat the temperature is now about 67 degrees, which makes the space quite comfortable for use, and un-musty. The heat from the basement also rises, and warms the floor above, helping the boiler run less often. I expect the Magic Heat will pay for itself in fuel savings in one heating season. And with less fuel being burned, the overall emissions from the boiler are reduced as well. Installation was a little tricky given the tight space and horizontal orientation of the unit, and took me about 5 hours. The manufacturer's installation instructions specify that for safety reasons, the flue gas must be at least 280 degrees F and that the flue draft must be at least 0.06 W.C before the installation (and at least 0.45 W.C BELOW the Magic Heat after the installation). For additional safety, I installed a carbon monoxide (CO) detector right next to the boiler, and have had no problems at all. The First Alert CO614 model I purchased includes a memory feature that records the highest CO level in a 24-hour period, which gives added information to ensure CO is not a problem. Magic Heat is a U.L. listed Heat Reclaimer (915U), seems well made, uses only 20 watts of electricity (when the fan is running), and requires very little maintenance because natural gas produces virtually no soot. I would probably not have been able to use the Magic Heat (due to aforementioned draft and temperature restrictions) had I not previously installed a stainless steel chimney liner when I put in the new boiler. I got great customer service from Magic Heat with my installation questions.

Just what is inside the magic heat box? fins? Is it supposed to heat the basement?
It's about recognizing that we are deserving of all the incredible things that life has to offer. When we embrace this belief, we step into our power and shine brightly for the world to see. However, harnessing the magic within requires practice and commitment. It comes from cultivating a mindset of possibility, pushing beyond our comfort zones, and embracing failure as a stepping stone towards success. It's about nurturing our passions and pursuing our dreams with unwavering determination. The magic within us is not limited to individual achievements; it also extends to our ability to impact and inspire others. By sharing our unique gifts and talents, we create ripples of positive change that can influence and uplift those around us.

Taking care of ourselves physically, mentally, and emotionally allows us to tap into our full potential.

Reviews for "Stepping into the Enchanted Forest: Connecting with the Natural Magic Around Us"
1. Jessica - 1 star
I found "I've Got the Magic in Me" to be completely underwhelming. The song lacked any real substance or originality. The lyrics were cliché and the melody was forgettable. I was hoping for something magical, but all I got was a generic pop song that added nothing to the music industry.
2. Michael - 2 stars
"I've Got the Magic in Me" is a mediocre attempt at a feel-good anthem. The lyrics are cheesy and the overall composition feels forced. The vocals lack passion and the production is average at best. It's a forgettable track that tries too hard to be uplifting and falls short.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
I was disappointed with "I've Got the Magic in Me". The song sounded like a recycled version of countless other pop hits. The repetitive chorus and shallow lyrics made it hard to connect with the song on any meaningful level. It lacked originality and failed to leave any lasting impression. Overall, it's a forgettable track that didn't live up to its potential.
4. John - 1 star
"I've Got the Magic in Me" is an overproduced mess. The excessive use of autotune is distracting and takes away from any authentic emotion in the song. The lyrics are uninspiring and the melody is predictable. It felt like a cheap attempt at creating a radio hit without any real substance. I would not recommend this track to anyone looking for quality music.
5. Emily - 2 stars
"I've Got the Magic in Me" falls flat in terms of originality and creativity. The song feels generic and lacks any real depth. The lyrics are repetitive and the melody fails to stand out. It's a forgettable track that fails to make a lasting impression. Overall, I was disappointed with this song and expected more from the artist.
