My oil burner tech spent about 5 minutes showing me how to set the electrodes on my Beckett AFs. I now replace the nozzles, clean out the oil filters, measure combustion by-products (with eBay acquired testers).Thanks, I'll look for that.
I suppose it could take 20 years to learn, but if you went to school on a long bus 5 to 10 minutes will do.
A copy of the Beckett Oil Burner Manual (Form 6104BAF R0803) is useful and answers most questions.
The Oil Burner Guild would like to discourage knowledgeable home owners from doing this simple task. But, guilds work that way. If you're not knowledgeable then you should become informed (and safe) first or hire a guild member.
It amazes me that I've been doing my own car repairs and roof work for years, yet nobody ever bitched at me simply for not being a state-certified auto mechanic or roofer. And working on a car or a roof can get you killed if you don't pay attention to basic safety procedures, yet it's something an amateur can be quite capable of doing properly. But if I even dare to mention around here that I touched MY own furnace, all of a sudden it's like I stepped on the toes of the oil mafia. Makes you wonder.....

Nothing to wonder about if you have followed the same patteren here
for many years. If you have, then you know that most HVAC techs are
those who failed at being screen door repairmen or locksmiths. They
are an angry bunch of failures, and it shows.
not the only thing I work on or I would be pissed off
all the time. BTW, what does your PhD cover?
TDD
