Central Boiler / E-Classic Running since Oct. 1st. 09

« on: December 15, 2009, 06:20:19 PM »

Not sure if a few or any on this site have an e-classic but after getting used to the furnace it has been working good for us. Heating 900 sq. ft. garage, 2 hot water heaters and 3500 sq. ft. house, I am glad to still be getting over 24 hr. burns. Temps been -5 -10 and in single digits during the day. Except one day the temp. was down to 115F. on boiler, Dad filled when we were gone and forgot to shut bypass, but appreciated him coming out to filler up, still didn't burn any LP! Using  a mix of ash, elm, oak and boxelder that is split with some small rounds. SO far (fingers crossed) we are doing fine. Very little to no smoke is great, wood all cut last year so pretty dry but not fully. Bridging problem minimal using hard wood for us, we will see how bad the fusion chamber is in the spring. The people I talked to said CB has been very willing to give a new chamber for owner installation. The unit is also fully enclosed which must help according to a lot of other more experienced folks.

Thanks for all the advice this site has given, best regards and Merry Christmas.

Electronics / Looking for one thermostat to control OWB and Forced air furnance

« on: February 19, 2009, 07:48:12 PM »

Did a lot of searching and have asked the installer and they are not aware of a single thermostat that can control the OWB with the LP furnance fan and the LP forced air furnace using one controller. So is a person stuck using two side by side. Or what are other options. Searched Honeywell and other main sites, it seems to me there would be a way.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Thinking about purchasing the Aspen 175

« on: February 03, 2009, 07:56:43 PM »

New to the board and wood boilers, after hours of research I was down to the e-classic and the Aspen 175. Have heard a few problems with the classic. Charlie asked for info. before in Jan. and I didn't noyice any replies. Looking at just the EPA rated high efficiency models and what I found on the web and from our local dealers I am leaning the 175 way. The dealer did stress dry wood only to eliminate any problems. Would eppreciate any info. on this model or the other high effic. models, thanks.
