Electronics / mahoning 300 temp problems

« on: October 17, 2011, 12:10:54 AM »

I run my mahoning stove at 170...run my boiler temp at on 160 off 180. It seems to me my boiler runs off the oil all the time instead of outside stove.It also seems that there is a 20 degree difference in what outside stove temp reads and my boiler degree reads.I buried insulated pex pipe 3 ft down and stove is 30 ft from house.I have just installed new chimney pipe with rain cap on stove.Last year it was burning a cord of wood a week(150.00 a cord) and the house was still cold.I am starting to think it is one of the worst investments I have made.The plumber came in and changed setting it did not work,the boiler cleaner guy changed setting and it did not work so i am back to the stove installers settings.I called mahoning last year for help they gave me a techs number we set a date and time and he never showed up.I have been struggling with this stove for 3 years now.But at the price it costs for the wood its chewing and the house still being cold I am ready to just pay soley for the oil if i cant figure it out.I have a 3 zones on the boiler #1 kitchen, bath,livingroom on first floor.#2 bath and 4 bedrooms on second floor.#3 radiant floor heat in the den. All thermostates are set at 70 degrees in these zones.I am the only one I know not happy with this outdoor furnace everything I read people rave about them.Can some please advise me.I will get pics and try to post of boiler and the wiring of honeywell.i did not touch any wiring and it works for just oil fired thru the boiler.I am not sure if something is wrong or just something not set right.
