General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Hawkin Energy

They produce there stoves a couple miles from my house, bought one a few years back.
Went there today to pick up a couple things, apparently they've gone out of business!
Crap, why are the customers the last to know!

So, how do you clean a plates?
Did the check with hot water running, pipes are not a whole lot of difference going into the tank, coming out of the tank or after the mixing valve. At least not what i can feel by hand!
Checked the water in my tank with candy thermometer it read about 120. Checked the water from the boiler as soon as it enters the house it was about 142.
Went out to the boiler and water temp gauge read about 170( cant't believe i'm losing 30 between boiler and house)!
Looked at humidistat and through the little window set on 160, but i don't know what the differential is. How do i tell?

It's an electric water heater if that makes any difference.
I'm not familiat with what a sidearm is i'll have to do some research.
Actually i do use a fair amount of hot water but, it sits all night and in the morn its not very hot.

Having an issue with hot water. It seems it's never real hot but it is hotter sometimes more than other times. I think when we don't use it real often then when we do use it it is not very hot. Wondering if it would be losing heat sitting in the water heater. Anyone have that happen?
I have a Hawkin Energy 1100
Domestic cold water comes in, enters top side of 30 plate w-w heat exchanger exits bottom from there it enters cold side of water heater exits hot side then into mixer valve and on through the house. Mixer is set at hottest setting.
Any thoughts?

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Aquastat
« on: October 18, 2015, 10:12:41 AM »
My aquastat is set for 160-180. But late last season and now a couple times this season it will allow the fire to reach 200 or so.
Time for a new aquastat or is it something else?

« on: June 01, 2015, 06:31:38 PM »
How are you doing this?
Just throw a bunch of cardboard in and let it burn up or are youadding cardboard and keeping itgoing for some period of time?
I just tore up about a dozen smallishboxes and burnt them and after they burnt up I checked and it really didn't do a hole lot!

« on: December 28, 2014, 04:09:14 PM »I jsut got a timber tuff at tsc. Seems like a well built unit. Had a harbor freight but ditched it because of lack of adjustments and only being able to run the small wheel on it.
Which one did you get?
