Heatmaster 5000E update!
« on: November 16, 2011, 08:06:26 PM »

I've been running since the first of october with the 5000e series.  I've been burning sycamore and scrappy dry wood while it's not so cold.  I thought all along that it was really easy on wood but I got a huge surprise when I started to burn some seasoned oak, wow is all I can say.  Temps haven't been cold cold yet but i can tell it's a wood sipper.  I put in about 1/3 load of oak last Friday night, it was our coldest night so far at 24, and it easily went 24 hours.. 

So far I love it, haven't had any issues other than a door adjustment! 

I plan to update over the winter as I usually do.

I switched to a HE model this year as well, went from a 3000 to a 3000he. I swear I think the thing burns half the wood. I burned a gasifier, G200, for a month and a half in between and I believe this he model burns less wood then it did.

I have a dealer coming to my house today to give me a quote on a 5000e.  I am currently paying around $4,000.00 per heating season. 
Can't wait to put that money back in my pocket!

It's doing great, slight difference in wood usage as it was 19.7 last night. 

I'm assuming the last couple nights were the coldest of the season for you, the weather on this end of the state is a lot different as this was my second night seeing 19 degrees. 

We've had a lot of nights in the 20's.  But I know I'll call a friend down your way and he's usually at like 35-38 when were in the upper 20's.  These protected valleys drop like a rock at night.

The past couple nights temps have been in the mid 20's and I had some huge pieces of sycamore from a tree service that cut trees on our place.  There bout 19-20" diameter and 2 feet long.  I've been putting one of them in there each evening nd easily going 24 hours.  The pieces however haven't been covered all year and were cut in may.  So it's not good as far s moisture content but it's better than letting the creek wash them away as my shed is already full. 

Really pleased and impressed with my 5000e so far!

We've had a few cold nights lately.  12-14 degrees and the stove still did great. 

I decided to try to raise the temp up to 170 on 185 off, from the 150-165 that I was at.

Curious as to whether I'm going to burn more wood, main thing I'm wanting to see happen is a cleaner firebox.

Everything is still going great on my 5000E...  I still get consistent 24 hour burns on oak.  I'm only stacking one row deep in the stove too, it's long enough to put in two rows but I have never tried that. 

Just wishing this were a real winter so I could really test it...  We've had only a few days where temps were down to 10 or so and highs of 20-25.  On the cold nights down to 10, it requires 20-30 pound of coal to go 24 hours.
