General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: Woodmaster Update
« on: January 27, 2012, 01:57:46 PM »I don't really have much overshoot, maybe a degree or two, but these days I haven't even been able to hit the high setpoint unless I run with the door open. The damper does open.did you check your stack could be plugged.
When you pull out the smoke baffle twist it to the left half turn and pull in and out then do the same to the right that will help clean all of the junk out of the slide for the baffle.
could be all full of ash and creosote. I do that to mine every other day and I see a bunch of stuff blow out the stack.

« on: January 27, 2012, 11:37:56 AM »Are you getting some overshoot of your high setpoint? In other words, if you have it set at 180, have you ever noticed if the water temp continues to increase above this point? If so, how much?
If it is a lot, im just guessing here, by 5 to 8 degrees or more, this might indicate that you have an air leak.
I guess this could vary by type of OWB perhaps.
Any thoughts on that RSI? Can overshoot indicate this sort of problem?
My 4400 will go past the set point by 8 degrees after the fan stops.

« on: January 27, 2012, 11:34:44 AM »for those of you with OWB's particularly the 4400, how do you keep your temps up? I have my OWB set at 180 degrees with a 5 degree differential for kick on temp. Since the install of the new HX, i see temps that dip down to 150ish pretty consistently, which to me signifies a significant heat draw from the house (before i would hit 170- sometimes) It seems to be burning pretty decently, its been eating up some wood this past week with temps below zero most nights. I'd like to be able to keep the temps up to a more consistent level, and not have the blower run pretty much 24/7.I have my 4400 set with a 15 degree differential fan shuts off at 180. And I can get 12 to 14 hr burn times when its cold. Is the damper on your blower opening up when the fan kicks on.My recovery time at the most is 25 min and that's when the house is calling for heat.
Any ideas?

WoodMaster / Re: WM Temperature setting differences
« on: November 05, 2011, 05:58:31 PM »I am in my second full season burning my wm 4400 and like most people, I wish i would have done it sooner. I had a add-on in my basement and love the fact that the wood/mess is out of my house. I live in mid michigan and have my temp on my stove set at 170 degrees. I know that the fan kick on at 160 because of the factory settings. Was wondering if anyone has changed theres to a larger difference so that the fan does not turn on as often. Thanks
I have mine set to kick on at 155 and off at 170 seems to give more a more complete burn no build up in the firebox.

The lights are cool 
I put a small led light on the outdside of mine so I can tell from the house that the blower is on. I only like to fill the stove if the blower is on less smoke I have to eat when I open the door.

My propane tank has been at 40% for three years now and its great I am going to run it out this spring so I can get a smaller tank.
I went from spending $2900 a year to $600 if I have to buy wood but I have been getting tons of free stuff.
