Equipment / Rugged Split
« on: March 23, 2013, 12:05:56 PM »
Has anyone had any experiences or information on this unit from IMS Machine...The specs are good for the price but I have not read or could find any reviews on this machine...It holds 8 gallons od hydraulic fluid..that is a good selling point because most of the splitters in this price range do not offer such a big tank...

Fire Wood / firewood prep
« on: March 16, 2013, 03:26:02 PM »
Hello all,
First year with my Central Boiler 6048. I got myself about 7 cord of Oak and cut another 2 cord of Oak from my lot and I still ran out.I need to have at least 12 cord of wood to start the next burn season...What do you guys do to get the best deal on wood?Is there a way to get free pine delivered?I figure that the pine would be good to mix withe the oak or use when it isn't as cold.I live in Mass and I am paying 700 for 7 cord of log lenghth Hardwood.I am cutting the narrow ones at 3 ft and cutting the large ones at 2 ft so I can split them in half for ease of lifting and for proper seasoning..I am looking to buy a log splitter this month..Do you guys find it necessary to split the wood or should I just say screw it..The place near my house that sells the OWB recommends that I split it. A descent splitter will run me about 2 grand ,so if there is really no significant advantage I would really not waste the money...I am not a fan of renting splitters because I would have to get it all done in a hurry and I am not into that.
Would like to hear everyones techniques on wood prep and what works for them..
Thanks,
Jed

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Central Boiler 6048 Smoke
« on: October 18, 2012, 07:16:29 PM »
Hi,
New to the outdoor stove world but is it common when you open up the front door of the furnace that you get lots of smoke in your face...does anyone use a respirator mask when loading the stove?

Plumbing / Plumbed Wrong?
« on: October 03, 2012, 05:54:48 PM »
hi all,
here is a picture of my plumbing comming from my OWB to my heat exchanger.I am told that the drain spout should be between the two shutoffs so I am able to bleed all the air out when I change my filters.Is this a big issue?Is there a way to flush out that air?I would like to note that on the left side of the temperature guage there is a valve that is plumbed to add water from my well.would the pressure from turning the water on be enough to force the air from above the filter?

Plumbing / Pressure Guages
« on: October 01, 2012, 08:19:14 PM »
hi all,
new to the forum...we recently bought a house in Mass and I am now a owner of a Central Boiler cl-6048.Does anyone know what the pressure guage reading should be from the heat exchanger to the OWB....and the pressure from the Heat exchanger to the oil burner.I just drained my OWB and refilled with the proper chemicals and changed all the filters....I think I am familiar with just about everything but the amount of pressure generated by the circulator pump....I realize that it might be differant from stove to stove but I am just looking for a ballpark figure on what to look for before I start burning in a couple of weeks. ...My OWB is about 150 feet domnhill from my home...my home is about 3400 Sqft with radiant floor heat and baseboard heat....all forced Hot water wich also heats my Domestic hot water......
Thanks ,
Marc
