Plumbing / General plumbing questions from Newbie
« on: March 10, 2009, 06:45:29 AM »
Hey Guys,
I'm new to OWB and getting ready to purchase one.  Couple questions.  My OWB will be about 75 feet from hookup to existing propane boiler.  I also want to hook up to my hot water tank.  The hot water tank is about 50 more feet past my propane boiler.  I also have a smaller hot water tank that is plumbed into the kitchen which is near the boiler.  What would be the best piping setup her.  Here is a little diagram to help

OWB--75ft--to-----Propane boiler----14 ft-to----small hot water tank---35 ft--to main hot water tank

I also have a pool that is about 75 ft from OWB in same direction of propane boiler that I would like to hook up at some time

Also, my house is two-story.  I have read that the OWB needs to be at least level with the highest most point of circulation in the house for it to work.  I am using hydronic baseboards thru the entire house.  Is this true or just go with a bigger pump

Thanks for any info

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Newbie getting ready to buy stove

Hey Folks,
I'm new to the site but was hoping to get some pointers in the next few weeks.  Going with an OWB to heat house, water, and pool.  I have narrowed my choice of stoves down to 3 and was hoping anyone with info could light in on this.  I'm looking at the Central boiler 6048, the Central boiler E Classic 2300, and another brand named Crown Royal 7400.  The Crown Royal dealer is less than a half mile from my house so it may be a wise choice to go with him although the stove is pricey but seems to be a good stove.  Anybody on here ever run the CB 6048 and then go with the E classic.  Just wandering if the E classic is worth the extra money.  I have read other places that it will not readily burn big logs and has a fire brick problem and creosotes up bad.  However, I would like to go with this newer version of stove if it will work.  Any thoughts would be appreciated,
