benp - Where you located? Is the Edge 750 the titanium unit they're selling? How long have you had it and do you like it? Sorry for the questions, I'm seriously thinking of changing to something like the Edge 750. I have the E-Classic 1400. It's a pretty good unit but a pain in the neck (and I mean that literally, I have degenerative disk disease) to keep the air channel open, they'e non-removable. Roger
Hi Roger,
Northern Minnesota.
This is the model. Click on the 750.
https://centralboiler.com/products/classic-edge/Going on it's first year of service. I like it a lot. We are heating 10000 sq feet with a high, very high, and extremely high heat load, which i feel is bouncing off the upper capabilities of the stove. Heat load is determined what frozen, snow covered piece of equipment is brought into the shop.
Extremely high heat load is when we pull in a frozen dump truck with trac hoe and trailer that all have a foot of snow on them.....when it's -15 out. I watched the shop temp dump 15 degrees in 20 minutes because of that.
That being said, I can get a full 8-10 hrs out of a fill at heavy sub zero temps. Normally it's 12 hours from zero on up.
Weekly cleaning of the reaction chamber and heat exchangers takes under 10 minutes even in sub zero. Every 2 weeks I include popping off the back chimney cap, cleaning that and running the chains on the heat exchangers.
I pull 3-4 gallons of ash at the 2 week cleaning and 2.5 at just reaction chamber cleaning.
I guess I am not familiar with what you mean by the air channel on the E classic.
Everything on the Edge is accessible from the front of the stove. Firebox, air intake and reaction chamber.
