Plumbing / insulation between burner and furnace
« on: February 05, 2015, 11:47:39 AM »
do you all insulate your tubes from the edge of the all the way to the furnace / water heater, etc. i would guess from where it comes into the house, we have about a 20ft run. we are second owners here, and the original owner does not have the tubes insulated, just clear plastic. thanks! just wondering how others do it!

Central Boiler / What are the water flow schematics on a 6048
« on: January 11, 2015, 01:33:34 PM »
I am trying to learn as much about this furnace as i can, and wondering what the water flow direction for this furnace is? It shows the general diagram online...showing the baffles and water up top, etc. But I would like to know where does the water go once it comes in from the house, or where does it discharge from? I have just 1 line run out and 1 in, so it is a single loop system, but I like to know how things work 
if anyone has any idea or knowledge, i would appreciate it for sure! thanks in advance!

Central Boiler / Re: CB 6048 Water temp way too low!
« on: January 01, 2015, 04:10:20 PM »
thanks to you all. still no real reason why it dropped so low, but has been working nicely since then. We have a mix of seasoned wood and green wood. Burning all seasoned it just burns up so fast. Burning all green is the opposite. Trying to find a nice mix of each...I am glad to have all the extra inputs from you "seasoned" pros

thank you. I am open to any and all advice running this thing. I like the heat we get from it, but I feel like we are not optimizing our usage, and going through more wood than necessary using it.

New to running a OWB, so still trying to learn the art (or science) of getting it right.
We have a 2007 6048. Had it set around 175 I think, and temps dropped below zero overnight. Woke up to a freezing house, checked the burner, and it was at 116, but with nearly a full load of wood still in there, burning and smoking. Pushed wood around a bit, added a bit more, and cranked it up to 185. Temp is back on the rise, up to 150 in 2 hours, but what could have caused this...? We are burning oak, some of which is green I would imagine.
Our boiler line runs into the house through a gas forced exchanger in a traditional furnace, water heater exchanger, and also radiant heat throughout an addition to the house.
thanks in advance!
