HeatMaster / Re: G400 Metal deterioration

« on: December 29, 2019, 05:20:43 PM »

Well my friend it has happened before, the banning I mean. It seems that some of the dealers on this forum get very upset when actual facts and photgrafs are posted about the products that they sell. I do not wish any of them any harm but only to expose the facts about some of the crap that I personally received, sold, delivered, installed and now can’t service by orders of Jake Friesen because of my posting some of those photos. I wish you luck sir and I’m sure there are several of those dealers burning the ear of Mr. Friesen to buy back that stove or replace it with a current model, you are on the right track! Keep it factual, honest and back up anything you say Please.

Just so that everyone is on the same page here because anyone who knows me, knows that I despise HeatMaster, Jake Friesen and Ryan Friesen for what they have done to me over the years, they cost me more money than any of you will ever understand but the big thing that they cost me was reputation and friendship with my customers, I take that very personally and don’t forget! With that being said, ticapa, that stove model was a major issue for them that caused multiple change outs, if the corrosion was caused by moisture then it was likely because the bypass was leaking and constantly drawing air through the stove, it will never be right until the bypass door is sealed permanently. The large space over the refractory and below the firebox bottom was a result of the designers not taking expansion and contraction of the stainless into consideration, believe me when I say that I personally have had to smash many of those refractories out to change them after they cracked to crap, that one seems to have been cut after production. Burning too hot, get the heck out of here, what kind of excuse is that, if the boiler is full of water then how could it possibly heat the stainless steel to the point of compromising that stainless in any way, you would certainly see permanent warpage well before the pitting that we see on that stove! I’m guessing that somebody got a deal on some Chinese stainless. I wish you the best and as long as I don’t get banned again for exposing the truth then I’ll be here to help you with information regarding your boiler.

So, just out of curiosity, is that dealer still selling HeatMaster? Is that boiler a rebuilt boiler because I know for a fact that I replaced at least 3 of them when I first started with HeatMaster because of the issues with the smoke bypass door warping. That was well over 5 years ago so either the dealer or HeatMaster had it sitting around for well over the one year that you state. Did they replace the boiler with a current model or simply send him a new smoke bypass door which would not solve the corrosion issue clearly visible in the photos posted.

Does anybody on here know if HeatMasters warranty now covers from date of purchase/ installation or is it from date of manufacture? This stove if sold as a new stove is over five years old I’m sure from the rectangular smoke bypass. Their solution to this issue was to weld the bypass closed as it would warp and leak shortly after initial fire up.

Marty, does the warranty cover from date of purchase or date of manufacture.

Looks like pitting in the metal to me and that for sure isn’t a 1 year old stove, it looks like somebody was selling off some very old stock.

Could you Please check the date of manufacture on that stove, I don’t think they have produced that smoke bypass door for at least 5 years, because it had so many issues, perhaps that’s why they aren’t being helpful?

Same deception as always, lots of promises of better products, same quality control issues, manufacturers selling coal burners as wood burners illegally to skate around the regulations and pretty much zero enforcement of those rules that stifled business who try to play by the rules. Did I forget anything?

I would like to see more action for sure, I promoted this site heavily for years and brought a lot of new members, I felt that it was a great non biased place to ask questions / get answers as well as expose issues. We all learn and the manufacturers get feedback. There are some here that get offended by that exposing part because it hurts the manufacturers bottom line, so they complain and the next thing you know, it’s an advertisement and somebody gets banned! Been there, done that! Gee, I hope I don’t get banned again for my opinion.
