Dealer Meeting...
« on: May 05, 2017, 02:03:39 PM »

   Had a great time at the Wisconsin dealer meeting yesterday. Looking forward to releasing details publicly about the HeatMaster GS-Series. I can clear up that they are still using .409 Stainless Steel, still have the same efficiency and core design as the G-Series and are a good deal less expensive. Official roll out is not until June 1.

Some folks on here requested that HeatMaster add a sight glass to the bottom secondary burn chamber door. And they have answered. They have a fancy new sight glass (see picture and video below) now available on all of the 2017 G-Series.

Yea I like the sight glass it will really help the customer to see if his wood is dry enough and the furnace is gassifiing. I received a G-100.  With the glass. Looks like a quality piece.

I also like the minor cosmetic/exterior changes they've made to the units.

Thumbs up on the site glass! That was one of my suggestions on my survey, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people put that down.

WTf is with the flue pipe though??? Looks like a cheap single wall pipe???

The exhaust port on the boiler is now standard stove pipe size so you can use any kind of pipe with their adapter.

Here are a couple more pictures. They've also added a tray below the door to help keep the front of the boiler clean.

Personally I kinda liked the two tone front.

My G400 was a slobbering beast and could have used the tray, the G200 I’m running now is as clean as a whistle yet.

I’m interested about the site glass, I did one on my original G400 and decided one was enough as with at least mine, I felt it added to the condensation/creosote issue as it could always pull a little cold air from the air wash in just like a leaky door seal.

Is the site glass common for both the G and Gs series or just the G?

Just the G but the door is the same so you could probably swap a door if you really wanted to.

My first season I had no issues with the door leaking. This year though it started and I couldn't get it to stop with adjustment. I am going to replace the gasket this summer and see if that fixes it.

I don't know if mine has any condensation or creosote issues any different than one without the glass seeing as mine has always had it and I always leave a sliver of wood inbetween the glass and door to keep the glass clean.

I wonder if they would let me order just the glass parts. I already have the hole cut in the door and I could cut the L channel off that the current glass slides into.

Well well well, I wonder who's idea the sightglass was! Just for the record here folks, I told them that a cheaper G series was a bad idea 2 years ago,  I preferred fixing the small issues on the older model first and making it better,I see issues right out of the gate from the pics on this one and will at this point  take the wait and see attitude!

Oh, I have been wanting to ask, how did the emission and efficiency numbers come out?

I thought that the gs series was still using the same bones but options that are easier to manufacture. Why would they have to run new tests?

Same bones, no new tests. Same efficiency and emissions numbers. My understanding is that the GS does have a new UL label for outdoor use only due to no smoke bypass.

Slim they're going to be offering both the G-Series and the GS-Series. The GS series is just the G-Series minus the bells and whistles for those customers looking for a great boiler, but who simply can't afford the price tag on the other. Same great design. Same great efficiency. No smoke bypass. Tin instead of flat steel on the outside.

I'll be burning a GS unit this summer and will post how it goes. It is definitely not a "cheapened" unit,  just focused on outdoor installations.
And it allows them to add extras to the G line.
