WoodMaster / Re: Wow am I burning a lot of wood

So if I'm understanding correctly it's in the underground pipe? Check temp on the exit from the stove and where it enters house?

No idea about underground pipe. Last year we burned 8 "manure spreaders" of hardwood. At it was cold....below zero for over a month and 4 straight months of below freezing. This year it hasn't been cold yet and I've gone through 5 of the same manure spreader loads...and we have at least 3 months of cold weather to come.

Third season with stove

Great questions. Heating about 2,400 sq ft. Temps have been in 20s here with many days milder.

Third year with this stove.....was in house when we bought it , so in total about 6 years old.

Cleaned chimney and inside of stove before season. Fill light came on earlier this year but now does not.

Moisture content...no idea but its at least cut and split and sat out for a year.

WoodMaster / Wow am I burning a lot of wood

« on: December 12, 2014, 06:25:03 PM »

It hasn't really been cold here in Wisconsin yet and we are burning a lot of wood. WoodMaster 4400, I've replaced the door seal, fan works great and we are burning what seems like a lot of wood.
Can't get the light to come on..did earlier this year. Filled stove with more water until overflow, bled system and filled again...still no "fill" light.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Nick

WoodMaster / Boilover on a regular basis

« on: October 31, 2013, 04:55:08 PM »

We have a couple year old 4400. No problems until this year….The set point is 170 and the stove regularly goes way past to boil over.

Pump works fine and fan works fine…

Where should I start looking?

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Leaving for a week

« on: January 14, 2013, 06:38:12 AM »

Our travel schedule during the winter mandates that we are gone for a week or more at a time. Being the first year with this type of heating I'm curious as to what I should do.

Let the fire burn out totally and then begin anew when I get back....clean out ashes totally?

Turn off unit except for pump..

Thanks,
Nick

WoodMaster / New owner of WoodMaster 4400 with questions

« on: January 01, 2013, 07:49:52 PM »

We just bought a house with a WoodMaster 4400 installed in an outdoor shed with lots of room for wood. Looks like a great installation. Unit was installed new in January 2011.

Unit was working great until today. Fan flap opens but fan does not turn on. Humms only.

I reset unit as per instructions but still no go...

Ideas and suggestions welcomed

Thanks,
Nick
