General Discussion / Door Gasket
« on: January 15, 2013, 07:09:51 PM »
This year is my fourth one using my OWB. I noticed last winter the door gaskets needed replaced. So I bought the fiberglass rope and installed with high temp adhesive. Been two months now and the gaskets are hard! Anyone got any remedies besides replacement?

We're fired up in western Pa and it is very cozy!

I live not too far from the Mahoning Furnace Co. I must say they are supported by their neighbors. Especially a town a couple of miles down the road from them. I think every one has their furnace in their back yard. The houses are close together as it was a company town at one time. They all must love the smell of wood burning. It amazes me that they all seem to get along with each other. They must be neighbors instead of people who live next door. Country folk I surmize.
PS Why didn't I buy a Mahoning? I didn't want to wait five months.

I have heard rumor of the DEP easing up on their regulations.
Burn Baby, Burn!

Looks like I not alone by star watching on a cold clear night. What a view. Ah...the rewards of loading up the OWB. Second year of not buying three dollar heating oil. All the heat and hot water a man could possibly want. Thank God I'm a country boy!

Sorry I can't tell you what happened. I think the meeting was for public comment, not that they would really pay any attention to it. I think it is required by law. I am sure we will find out though soon enough.

I've had my OWF one year in November. I've learned a lot. Now if I had this problem, I would check the water level, and check the solenoid that opens the air for the blower. I've had my solenoid actually come loose (and stick open) from screws not being tighten at factory, nearly causing a meltdown!
I burn a little coal now and then mixed with wood and have no problem getting the temp up. Now if you have a raging fire and no water temp maybe it's the water level.
Have you tried shutting down all your zones except for one? If the temperature goes up then maybe your furnace is undersized. Just a thought.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Pennsylvania proposes regulations for outside wood furnaces
« on: December 01, 2009, 02:32:49 PM »
I wanted to let folks know about a meeting being held tomorrow in Cranberry Pa.
The EQB and DEP are proposing significant new restrictions on the use of outdoor wood fired boilers. Many people rely on these boilers to affordably heat their homes and should not be subject to unwanted and unneeded regulation by the state. Local governments already have the authority to regulate these boilers if needed. If these state regulations are allowed to go through as-is, there's no telling what the Rendell administration will go after next.
Sorry about the last minute post. Just heard about this.
Here is an article about the regs at GoErie.com
