Hawken Energy, support only / How much wood in a single load?
« on: November 17, 2014, 07:50:58 PM »
I'm just curious how much wood other people load in there HE1100 per load. It seems like I'm really loading it up these days for 10 hours. Temps are in the 20s and I'm filling it just under half full and it last about 8-10 hours. I'm using little bit of cherry and popular mixed.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / How much more wood consumption in Dec.
« on: December 14, 2011, 07:08:03 PM »
I know their are a ton of factors with this, but I will ask anyway.... I have a Hawken 1100 and the last few weeks I load this thing hardly twice a day. Once a day if it is in the 40's and twice when its in the 30's. So far I have been pleased with the wood consumption.
The past week end we hit the 20's, couple days went by and I still loaded twice a day. The last two nights in the low twenties I have been getting 6-8 hour burn times.... Not real happy about it, I dont want to load it in the middle of the night and nobody is home in the middle of the day. I do not understand why it suddlently started sucking the wood.
My theory is because my bubble wraped, pvc sleeved pex lines are only buried 2 foot max and the ground started to freeze robbing the heat from my setup. I have also noticed the fan in the house kicked on every 15 minutes at night, maybe its the cheep plumbing or maybe its the ineffecient house. Any ideas??

Hawken Energy, support only / 1100 door leakage
« on: November 01, 2011, 07:12:53 PM »
I recently purchased a used one year old 1100. It has ran about 6 days this year so far. The bottom right corner of the fire box door seems to leak water/creosal. I cant really believe its time to change the door gasket already, the thing is not even a year old. Sometimes when I open the door the outside bottom of the door way has moisture, almost like condisation. Curious if anyone else had this on their 1100?
