Portage & Main / bl 28-40 front air chamber plugging

« on: January 06, 2017, 10:34:13 AM »

I have trouble keeping the front air chamber clean. Does anyone have any tricks? I'm getting a hot fire and keeping the creosote down everywhere but there. I'm not sure if it is related or not but I have the re-bar spacers in the bricks. I sure wish I had the new style bricks, but I tried to get P&M to give me those at a reasonable price when my stove was new, but Rory won't work with me.

Electronics / Three way zone valve wiring help for my owb

« on: October 17, 2015, 07:20:39 PM »

I want to add a three way zone valve to bypass my heat exchanger in my forced air system so it only flows hot water when needed. My house gets too warm when it is warm outside.  I currently have a aquastat wired in and want to keep it. How can I wire in a zone valve and keep my aquastat and my current thermostat? Would I also have to add a timer to allow the heat exchanger heat up before the fan kicks in?

Portage & Main / What A419 Johnson control?

« on: January 09, 2015, 05:27:04 PM »

I think I had a power surge today and I lost my A419 on my boiler today. Good thing I had a spare from my old ML30. Now I want to get a replacement from supplyhouse.com but don't know what one to get. Looking for some help.

Portage & Main / Steam??

« on: November 13, 2014, 10:45:35 AM »

Had our first colder night for the season. 13ºF. When I loaded the stove this morning I noticed steam coming out of the water level indicator port.  The fire was burning hot and the fan just came on. Water temp was 174º. I have the stove set to 185º and a 10º diff.

Is this normal or is something wrong?
