On the conventional setups, use 30-pound mono and 40-pound braid with the spinning gear. Top bait is the largest live menhaden in the well. For lure color, Burge is a big fan of chartreuse. Worthy Catch: Little fishing pressure and fish happy to bite mean Burge has the opportunity to hook plenty of tarpon.
First the furnace: The 1/4 slope is for the intake, not the exaust pipe. There is no mention of specific slope requirements for the exaust pipe, other then sloping upwards (there is a drain for the exaust blower comparment in the furnace).
One important way to control condensation is to maintain an upward slope on the vent pipe toward the exhaust opening. This slope allows condensation to drain back toward the dryer, and you can control it by periodically unhooking the vent from the dryer and allowing the water to drain.
