« on: January 11, 2018, 09:30:01 AM »
I am helping a father sell his Sons Heatmasterss G-100. One morning he went to the garage and had a massive heart attack at 52 and passed away. The wife is not capable of doing the wood and everything that is in volved with the OWF. The stove has been in service less than a year now. It is located in Corinth, NY 12822. They are asking $6500.00 or best offer. You can contact me on here or my e mail. Thanks

Hi Coolidge.
On your g-200. Can you look threw the clean out door and make sure the bottom of the nozzle is intact.
Also it is very easy to put the upper nozzle in backwards and that would block off the secondary air for the gasification process.

Hello Coolidge
Was slim Jim able to come out to your place and figure anything out for you?
It sounds like something is running backwards flow. from the looks of the temp readings. The Logstor has a red marker on the hot supply to house or garage. Then a plain white pipe on the returns to the boiler. It would be worth checking this out. Also make sure the Circs are going in the directions intended.
Do you have drainage under the slab ? And could the drain be plugged if a daylight drain.
If plugged , Is the slab losing heat Threw moisture soaked insulation?
Are you running antifreeze in systems?
Can you take a dime size piece of Logstor insulation and squeeze it flat between your fingers.
Look threw the bottom clean out of the furnace at the bottom of the nozzle ceramic and make sure it is not broken out or away. Some cracks will occurs.
The furnace should not be smoking, any blue or black smoke.
How long is your water recovery taking with no heat emitters on?
Do you have thermal limiting valves on the in floor manifold?
Sorry for your troubles and frustration. As Honda said. I wish we were closer to come see you !!

flow is one factor for the boiler. Another is return temp. Keep it above 140 deg F if you can. Not sure the brand ofboiler you have. Some fail because of cool return temp.
I always over size any heat exchanger I install because eventually the will all plug up. House side or wood furnace side. Just gives you more time between cleanings.

HeatMaster / Re: G series stand by cycle
« on: December 18, 2017, 07:55:50 AM »
Yes it is very easy to do. In your manual on the back page is directions.
First cycle is in 90 minutes from last burn. Runs for three minutes 100% open damper
Then repeats every 30 minutes. If you are having issues with moisture it may help dry the load out
And keep the coals hot. May help keep moisture off the damper plate.
Also ,it can over heat the stove in the summer time.

I use the high temp silicone for the door seals. Home Depot
Your local plumbing supply should have a gauge. But be very careful taking the old one out you don’t want to get scalded with 180deg water.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: Oil or propane?
« on: December 17, 2017, 06:52:13 PM »
I put in a IBC high efficiency propane two weeks ago, for a new house and future wood furnace install. He has infloor radiant in concrete. Says the thing hardly runs and is so quite. I told him it will never run with the wood furnace hooked on to the heat exchanger. That model n size DC 20-125 dual condensing combi boiler.

« on: December 13, 2017, 07:01:44 PM »
I loaded mine up to the smoke flapper tonight cause I just turned the radiant on in the garage.
In water temp at 90. Circ on low Thermostat on 45deg see how it does.
Single digits tonight And tomorrow. So I put the tractor inside. Massey furgeson with a 152 Ci Perkins diesel. It started today outside at 18deg. With no heat or either. I was amazed.

I think of it as a vacation when I drive to Maine from NY. Lol.
I have a customer with a g -200. Heating a 5000sq foot early 1900s bed and breakfast in Castleton VT
420’ 1” pex. I installed two Grundfos 26-99s. One in basement and one on the furnace.
The fella said his oil furnace only came on twice when he didn’t get out in the am to load it because he was cooking breakfast for the clients.
That furnace is a work horse.

Plumbing / Re: Manifold/zone loop materials
« on: December 13, 2017, 11:17:53 AM »
The black iron is a lot stronger it will hold all the circ pumps with no problem when properly anchors in place. And wreckit is right on keeping the manifold true. It is hard to do without a jig of some sort. The rust is probably on the surface just wirewheel it off and paint the hot supply manifold red. And the return manifold blue. Also the less solder joints you have the less chance of a leak down the road. I like the welded 1 1/4” IPS x36” L with five 1” zones. All pressure tested and threaded.

With temp gauges on the back of my g-200 I will see temp up to 195deg on the supply.(when it is running) If your system is correctly installed there should be no reason to turn up the furnace temp.

« on: December 11, 2017, 07:05:32 PM »
Yea this is why we need to keep the bottom of the heat curtains open. On the Gseries.
Good video. And wow the fire box last three times longer with stainless.

My opinion keep the water exchanging. No way for the heat to go out to the wood furnace if you shut the pump off.

Wonder if a ratchet strap would hold it if you go carefully around the whole stove. Even the door out with little tension. then tighten to your likening ,tighten the hinges and bearings.
Just a one man show.
