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.
