Is this normal ?
« on: April 15, 2015, 03:38:17 AM »

][URL=http://s276.photobucket.com/user/kingquad450/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpspiguli1q.jpg.html][/url]I was cleaning out my boiler with scrapers in a chipping hammer and it seems like a lot of scale  coming off is this normal? I sprayed it down with a mixture of diesel fuel in gear oil at the end of every season to help it from rusting.

How old is the stove? Some scaling should be expected but it should be years down the road, I would contact the dealer AND the manufacturer, I would ask them both to put those photos in your file for future reference.

It's 3 years old now, always burned seasoned wood in it. I have had the same problem last year as well

It sure appears to be pitting pretty badly for only three years old!

Good afternoon allias48. Came across this post and was wondering what dealer had to say about your corrosion problem.

Best regards
Mike

They say temp is to low causing moisture on the inside of the firebox while it's burning

I keep mine at 150 and have no problems with sweating. With 15 degree differential. Heats my house and domestic hot water. Burns less wood to. Try to burn only seasoned wood.

you’ll still get some condensation no matter how dry the wood is, for mild steel the hotter the better.
