General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: Water to forced air
« on: November 17, 2008, 08:19:48 AM »
Mine is in the cold air section of my duct work and it works great. I basically put it where the furnace filter was and moved the filter.

Your way definatley makes sense Charlie, I wonder if I ever had a warranty issue if not using their "stuff" would put the axe to the warranty.
Thanks for the input.

WoodMaster / Ready to Roll

Finished the install yesterday. Here are some pics of the finished product.
If this aquastat gets below 110 degrees the propane furnace will kick in.
The beast itself
90 ft of Timesaver piping
My wife will finally have enough hot water to fill her jet tub
Our 4 seasons room is on the west side of the house and is full of windows. This will be our second winter in the house. Last winter there was a noticeable temp difference between the 4 seasons room and the rest of the house. I zig zagged pex through the floor joist to try and create some extra heat and last night when the boiler was going for the test run I could feel the "hot spots" in the floor! For the extra $80-$100 in pex and fittings I figured I would give it a try. Once i get the basement and floor joist insulated and sheet rocked it should make a big difference. I don't think I've ever actually looked forward to winter other than winter means I get to go hunting but this year is a little different, I'm kind of excited to get it stoked up and start heating. My wife says I'm worse than a kid at Christmas.

Install was finished yesterday afternoon. I had a 1/2 gallon of the Woodmaster brand water treatment that I used for now. My dealer says to use this brand in case a warranty issue comes up. I didn't have to test the water or anything, was told to put it in for this heating season drain in the spring and put another 1/2 gallon in for next heating season. Pretty simple but not sure if it's as good as what you are using.

Shaver Furnace / Re: Insulation
« on: October 09, 2008, 10:45:44 AM »
I may be wrong but just what I'm thinking if the furnace is sweating alot you probably wouldn't want to do the spray foam just for the simple fact that the moisture wouldn't be able to escape at all then. Just my thought on it.

Thanks for the tip, What does it typically cost to do the proper chemical treatments per year on the boiler?

They look like a good furnace. I actually had my sails set to the Shaver until I called and left three different messages for a call back. Then I found out who my closest Woodmaster dealer was and bought one from him.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: What did you use?
« on: April 03, 2008, 08:57:00 AM »
Thanks for the info guys! I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I would like to put the Thermo pex or Urecon pipe in but it is twice the money than this other stuff. I have talked to guys with the pipe the dealer is wanting to sell me and they don't seem to have any complaints? 
I just changed the location that I want to put the stove as well, which of course is further away than it was before.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / What did you use?
« on: April 01, 2008, 08:33:31 AM »
Which one of the many insulated underground piping did you use?
My Woodmaster dealer has the type that is wrapped in the foil looking insulation and then stuffed in a 4" drain pipe. Not sure if that is the way I want to go or not. He claims at 70' there is a 2 degree heat loss.

I agree if your in an area that is close to other people you need to be responsible and take the measures to produce the least smoke etc.

Glad to hear you like the furnace! Even if they change the laws for new furnace owners wouldn't you be exempt since you already had yours before the law change? I guess they can probably pass what they want but I wouldn't think they could tell you to just quit using this $8-10,000 dollar furnace.

Fire Wood / Re: The Best Wood
« on: March 31, 2008, 03:38:52 PM »
great info and good link! I have access to some hardwoods, oak,hickory, walnut and such but my own personal land is filled with the softer stuff like maple, birch and willow type trees. I'm not to terribly concerned about running out because each storm we have there is more wood that falls than I can cut.

Fire Wood / Re: keeping it in the round
« on: March 31, 2008, 03:36:19 PM »
Was just wondering about how big is big enough to split? I don't plan on splitting anything unless it is over 12" or so round. Does the furnace go through split wood ALOT faster than rounds?
