I'm new to using an outdoor wood furnace and own an E-classic 2300 from Central Boiler. Maybe it just happens when its warm out but has anyone had any problems with the fire going out due to long down times between cycling on? When the water is up to temp and the fan shuts off and the dampers close the fire will never restart when it calls for heat later on. Is this due to the fact that its been warm out (60-70) and it takes almost an hour to restart? In the meantime I've rigged my upper damper (the E-classic has 2) with a piece of metal wire that keeps it open about 1/8th inch. This seems to keep the ambers burning just enough to start the fire when it calls for heat. The temperature never climbs when the fan stops in this condition so it seems to be working O.K., but this is not what it was designed to do. Has anyone else ever had to deal with this and if so , is this problem most likely going to go away when cycle times get shorter in the colder months?
thanks,
Murph
