General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: heatmaster door
« on: April 22, 2016, 06:12:01 PM »
I to have the MF 5000 Made in 2011 it sounds like the same door design I really don't see the need to get into the back of the stove very often I open mine at start up look things over mid season and at end of burn season usually 6-7 months never have had any issues I think this is a great stove just my opinion

I tend to agree with free heat about your wood your using I have a MF 5000 heating 3200 sf & dwh using seasoned oak ash & cherry set at 180 with 10 degree dif no issues at all load @6:00 am and 7:00 @ night stove is about 1/3 full of wood in evening just starting to get cold in mi. I would try to get some dry wood see what kind of differents it makes just my opinion my damper is also set at 50 %
