Hardy / radiator coil
« on: June 21, 2012, 12:25:27 PM »
I am going to heat my 30 x 50 insulated shop with my H4, is there any reason this won't work if I mount it in a used electric furnace?

Hardy / How close?
« on: March 09, 2012, 07:27:25 AM »
As I have mentioned before, we are building a house. I had an H2 for 12 years or so.
I have bought a new H4 to be installed pretty soon. I am wanting to get it as close to the house as possible.
I have read 10 feet is minimum, but I think that is a little too close given the occasional flames shooting out of the stack.
The house will be sided with hardy board and have a shingle roof. Anyone think there is any fire danger from maybe 25' ?
I have to put it on the south east end of the house, the prevailing wind comes from the sw. hopefully it will carry the smoke on past the house. More hopefully it won't smoke anymore than my H2 which hardly smokes at all. Brother in law has a H2
that smokes like a locomotive.

Has anyone used ozarkbiomassfurnace.com's 4 line insulated pex? They make it themselves here in Missouri.
Talked to a super nice lady at the factory yesterday.

Plumbing / insulating lines
« on: January 12, 2012, 12:58:05 PM »
I think I mentioned in another post that a highway is coming thru where our house was, and we have moved it and are building a new house.
Any way I have my H2 Hardy temporarily hooked up 25' behind our house sitting on two railroad ties, I ran two pex lines to the house, put them in cheap foam pipe insulation and wrapped them in reflextix and taped it about every 6 inches. It is just laying on top of the ground.
It is doing a whole lot better than it did the past 12 years when it was buried 3' deep in 6" pvc pipe with no insulation.
It snowed overnight and didn't melt on top of the reflectix. I am impressed at this point.
I can't believe a local installer just buries the pex 18" in the bare ground.

Plumbing / 4 line pex

Where can I buy good quality 4 line insulated pex? Evidently, none of the owb dealers around here have heard of insulating the water lines.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Southeast Missouri OWB dealers
« on: October 03, 2011, 06:12:49 AM »
As I mentioned in another post, we are going to be building a new house soon. We are letting our daughter and son-i-l have the Hardy.
I want to get something more efficient. The closest CB dealer is a 100 miles. What other brands should I consider?
Although after reading some of the information on here, I have figured out my pipes are a great deal of the problem. They are 4' deep but not insulated and all of them are touching.
I didn't install it. HVAC company did.
Also are there any benefits of the Hardy having 4 water lines instead of 2 like most?

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / hardy or Central Boiler
« on: September 29, 2011, 07:11:15 AM »
A new highway is taking our house, soon.
We have had a Hardy for 12 years and I like it other than it's appetite for wood.
The highway will not pay us for the furnace as they consider it personal property. However my daughter and son in law want it. Since they are moving our house and we are building new.
Will I save a lot of wood if I buy a CB instead of a Hardy this time? The Hardy seems to be hardly insulated at all.
The CB seems to be much more protected from the wind and cold.
