Hardy / Hardy getting to hot when its warm/windy

« on: November 10, 2012, 11:31:52 AM »

Noticed a lot of steam out of the rear stack, stuck a thermometer in the water in the small tank and it was 220 f. Could i have a air leak somewhere? Seems to only steam out on windy warm days. Burning some pretty dry wood also.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Company i found for cheaper parts

« on: November 07, 2012, 07:25:57 PM »

If anyone is looking for parts at "wholesale" type pricing. And i'm not trying to cut anyone out here that has their own buisness. I run across a company called DODDS BROTHERS out of Falcon,Mo. Fair Pricing on most of their stuff, mostly Hardy, Woodmaster,Taylor, Biomass and maybe some other's parts. Maybe worth looking into if your needing parts. Just make sure the shipping is worth it to you. 417-453-6751. www.outdoorwoodfurnaceparts.com  No i do not work for them or anything like that, just a place i bought parts to redo the back of my Hardy h2 with. There paperback catalog has much more than their website does also

Hardy / Setup Help

« on: October 15, 2012, 04:32:21 AM »

Ok here's my issue. I ran 3 pipes to my house with thermostat wire, 3 pipes to my shop, thermostat wire and 12/2 for power And i have 1 lines coming from my well house for cold water supply for the autofill and water for dhw. I was told before on the other site i could just run 1 line for my DHW on demand with a pump.The part where i'm scratching my head is should i run my entire loop(around 300ft)in a single loop or put a tee off my pump and run 2 loops with one pump (thats how hardy did my father in laws) and have them return in 2 seperate location on the ports on the bottom or my hardy? wish i had a picture to help everyone understand it better , maybe someone has the same type of setup and could chime in. thanks

yea its about 3-4 inches or so. its a 92 model, it looks just like the r-19 stuff that i put in my shop building except it had no backing paper and its yellow. I guess as long as you use the fiberglass it wouldnt matter because that stuff doesnt burn?

Is there any insulation that will hold up on my h2 instead of buying new insulation from a hardy dealer?

Yea i know about the facotory parts just wondering if i could buy somthing from my local store that is equivilent so i dont have to ship it and pay HARDY'S price. Of course i could trim out all the holes and whatnot, just wondering also how the spray in a can insulation holds up on these unit's

I have seen yours and will defiantly keep that in mind but i was wanting to leave the factory hull and junk on it for now so i can see how much wood it will eat this coming winter

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: Electric generation?

« on: March 22, 2012, 08:19:00 PM »

correct me if i am wrong but i think he's looking to power his house with his boiler even when the power isnt out. I don't know a way but a local flooring mill has a huge boiler type aparatus that generates electricity back to the electric company in town when the mill is closed as they only run 1 shift. It does not provide enough while they are in operation but it helps a lot to have it. They just burn the cut off that run off a floor type conveyer system that feeds this "boiler". Pretty neat i thought
