HeatMaster / Re: Took a look at a HeatMaster SS today....
« on: January 21, 2012, 09:46:30 PM »
He tried to steer me away from the e models too. I got the idea that he only wants to install one stove and anything that deviates from that he will try to move you away from. Plus I have found other brands that seem to be every bit as good in quality that are a couple thousand less.

« on: January 21, 2012, 08:45:25 PM »From the research I have done, it sounds like the gasifier is more efficient and uses less wood. The local Heatmaster dealer says he can install one of the SS models for $7000.....that's everything, labor included. Sounds kind of cheap to me and I know you usually get what you pay for......
Well, I called them again to see if they also sell the G models. They will, but he steered me away from them saying the regular SS model is a much better deal for the money.....which is NOW $9400. Up $2400 in 11 months? I don't think so. I asked how much it would save me if I put in my own line and slab. $350. Yeah, I think I will look around for another dealer.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Hard water or soft water?
« on: January 10, 2012, 07:37:16 PM »
While it's not in my budget for a year or more to get an OWB, I have been doing my research for a while. One question I have is about the water. We have very hard water where I live and I suspect scale would become a problem after a while if I put well water in it so what have some of you done to combat this? Even if I had a way to get softened water in it, I reckon I will have to add some from time to time. In order to have a OWB am I going to have to figure a water softener in the equation as well?

Home Made / Plans for gasification OWF?
« on: March 13, 2011, 12:04:31 AM »
Just wondered if anyone out there had plans for a gasification furnace such as jackel440 built. I have a friend who is a first rate welder and machinist who has agreed to do the work for me over time as I can pay for it out of pocket. I am willing to pay a reasonable price for it too. I do want something that has actually been built and proven.....again, like jackel440's.

I wish you had a copy of all the measurements and materials and such. I would be willing to pay for that!

Not sure which size it was, but the firebox was HUGE. Seemed like it was awfully thin-walled though even though it was stainless. they do have a neat shaker grate design and the exhaust is forced to come all the way forward in the firebox before being routed back to the pipe in the rear. I wish I could find info on the newer gasification furnace they have though.
