General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: woodmaster
« on: March 14, 2014, 09:29:02 PM »
I bought a farm in November 2013 with a Woodmaster 4400. We where a total noob, getting along pretty good with the Woodmaster now with some help from the forum. We had a bad door seal gasket and a flapper dry rotted that allowed for runaway temps the first month, once resolved all good all winter. We kept a 2200 sq foot farm house, some new some old, about 90 degrees all winter. Utility bill was less than 150 each month. We had some record number of single digit cold temps.
Once you get going, a local dealer will not matter much, everything can be ordered online and received about fast as you can go get it.

I have a metal carport over mine, heavy made. I would spend extra money on whatever decision and factor in worse case snow load then prepare for more weight. Just do not want to worry about this collapsing under a snow ice storm.

WoodMaster / Re: Boilover on a regular basis

Honda racer, thanks for the input, you are 100% on the money. I looked at this last night, the door seal is not tight was creosoted up and the little rubber flapper had dry rotted a 1/4" crack in the bend. I replaced the door seal with a 5/8" seal which was too small but got me going and ordered a one inch door seal online last night along with a new flapper. The stove is currently working properly with no runaway temps. I also found a manual online which always helps.
The stove is a Woodmaster 4400 Heavy Duty model. The more I use this the more I like it.
To help pull the door tight for now, I slid some lock washers over the door bar for a spacer that rubs or contacts with the inner wall. In an emergency with a leaking seal, this might be something a person could do until there parts arrived.

Noob, with same problem, purchased a house with a Woodmaster 4400 installed, boiling over. What does a good door gasket look like and where is the selinoid that might need spraying? Thanks in advance.
