Central Boiler / Cycle rate??

« on: December 17, 2013, 10:14:11 AM »

Just curious how often does your wood burner cycle??  I have a CB6048 that cycles about every 2-2.5 hour... I understand it depends on heat load. This is the rate@ 20f outside

What i'm heating: 3000 sqft house
1000sqft pole barn spray foamed

What's your rate??

FYI: i moniter with an X300

Central Boiler / Going from classic to eclassic

« on: February 21, 2013, 05:36:36 PM »

I bought a used CB-6048 a couple of years ago, and have been very happy with it. Today i was in an area for work that had a central dealer nearby.  I was amazed at how small the fire box is on the 1450 and 2400 e-series. I load my classic every 12 hrs  with only a 5-6 pieces of wood, do to it being over sized for my application, but couldn't pass up a good deal .

I was just curious if anyone has posted a youtube video of weekly cleaning in their e-classics? Looks like there is definitely a little more labor involved compared to what i currently do.

I would some day like to switch to a gasser but i am sure thats a few or many years away.  Just searching for a little feed back.

Currently heating:

1000 sq pole barn with radiant heat.
3000 sq ft house forced air and dhw average insulation
 
Thanks!
