General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Cloths dryer conversion

« on: December 08, 2010, 10:41:04 AM »

Well, The neighbor is donating his dryer for my next project.  It is Whirlpool electric dryer and I plan to hook up a rad to it.  Is there anyone out there who has tried this or is there a kit available?

I think all I should have to do is remove the electric element and build a plenum to channel the air from the rad to the blower.

I know this wont be as interesting as the guy building the outdoor wood gasifier, but it should be fun and I will take lots of pictures!

Fire Wood / When is the best time of the year to drop trees?

« on: October 15, 2010, 06:23:49 AM »

I have noticed the ash trees around my house seem to be drier during the winter time vs. summer.  Are standing trees moisture content less during the winter season?  When is the best time to drop trees?

Natures Comfort / Support Natures comfort

Attention all Nature's Comfort owners. 

There is a poll in the General discussion index on who makes the very best OWB.  I am a proud dealer of Nature's Comfort and would like all owners to add there vote to the poll in support of Nature's Comfort.  At this time, the Poll did not have Nature's Comfort listed as a possibility, but I hope they consider.  I truely believe Nature's Comfort wood boilers are the best for the price because you get a gasification wood boiler for the cost of the traditional wood boiler and they use  the best design with the consumer in mind.

Thanks,

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Heat exchanger overheating

« on: May 26, 2009, 09:33:48 AM »

Has anyone had  the furnace heat exchanger crack because the water to air heat exchanger used with the boiler restricts the air flow through the furnace?  I had a customer tell me some OWB companies recommend the water to air heat exchanger to be mounted on the side of the furnace plenum with its own blower so there are no restrictions in the existing airway.
