WoodMaster / LT90 combustion fan
« on: November 28, 2016, 08:52:41 PM »
Hopefully somebody can help me out because I'm pretty stumped. I have a Woodmaster LT90 and this is our seventh season using it. I went to go start it up for the season a few weeks ago and I could not get the combustion fan to come on. There is 120 volts going to the fan but it would not work. I figured I had a bad fan and I purchased a new fan & installed it and still no comb fan. So I took power off of the solenoid and hooked it up to the leads on the fan and now the combustion fan is running. Problem is the combustion fan now runs continuously during a call for heat as opposed to the way the fan is designed where it should be shutting off when the stack temperature reaches a certain temp. Does anybody have any experience with Woodmaster combustion fans and/or this model of the LT 90? The fan running continuously during the call for heat has its pluses and its minuses. Constantly have a good hot flame and there's nothing but pure ash when all the fire is burning down and the chimney stack is nice and clean with zero creosote. The bad part is I seem to be going through a bit more wood and I would imagine a little higher electrical cost running the fan. Any help would be appreciated.

WoodMaster / LT90 working hard!

Hey everyone. Here in S/E Michigan this morning it's about -4. The temp in the house won't go any higher than 70 deg. Anyone else's OWB having a hard time keeping up?

WoodMaster / LT90 burning too much wood?
« on: July 22, 2012, 08:01:23 PM »
Hey everybody. Been lurking around for about a year but this is my first post. After two seasons of heating with my LT90 I'm wondering if I'm using too much wood. I live in SE Michigan. We have a 2500 sf Cape Cod with 1900 sf on the 1st floor & 600sf on the 2nd floor. The house was built in 1990 with a propane boiler and hot water heater. I installed the OWB myself using heat exchangers for the indoor boiler and the water heater. We usually fire up the OWB in late Oct. and let the fire go out in late April. So far in the first two heating seasons we have used approx. 40 facecords of wood (4x8x18 deep) per season. The only good thing is that the first year I bartered 20 facecords and paid $65 dollars a facecord for the other 20 ( All Ash). The second season, (last winter) I found a neighbor who is a tree cutter who sold me 40 facecords @ $40 apiece delievered. Just trying to figure out if this seems like a lot of wood that I am burning?
