My Dad has one of those low pressure wood fired boiler systems.
It has antifreeze in it. It heats his house, shop and garage
He loves it. He burns just about anything in it. Throws in
3 foot logs.

Bill gots TOYS!!!
Your cracker box looks just like the one in our shop.
Now is that 12v impact any good?

My hubby (----) retired from OE local 3 after a gazillion years. He was a
heavy equipment mechanic and operator.
We have more tools than good sense. Some of his wrenches look more like
shovel handles than hand tools.

Funny thing, he will work on equipment, but when it comes to automotive it
is like pulling teeth. He's rather trade it in than work on it.

Inquiring minds want to know, what is that shiny white car behind the
oxy/acetylene setup? Huh huh?

I do that too, it works great and you can get the spider webs while you're
at it.

That's why I filled my house system with 50/50 mix, just like I use in the
cars. It took 120 gallons, but it was worth it for piece of mind. When I
bought the house, inspection of the heating system revealed, that the
hundred year old iron pipes had frozen at least once. Ethylene glycol and
the fancy additives that they put in it, are also good for the circulation
pump seals. If you use modern equipment and pipe sizes, the amount of fluid
is much less.

I have scale traps in the return lines, to protect the new boiler and
circulation pumps, and a recycling system for when I have to drain and make
repairs. You can do without this for modern equipment too. But I love cast
iron radiators.
