Fire Wood / Re: Firewood Hands Hurt Like Hell
« on: March 02, 2015, 08:22:42 PM »
These are the cats meow. pick firewood up with ease especially pieces that are to big to grab with one hand. Don't have to bend all the way to the ground either. I will never do without.

What happened to the shaver website? Are they tied in with Nature's Comfort now? Seemed like they were arch rivals?

Thinking that our Shaver manual recommended Wood Boiler Solutions treatment. Anyways thats what we used...drained and refilled this year looked through the water coil cover and everything metal was rust free. No sludge on the bottom and clear water. http://www.woodboilersolutions.com/

Sorry to hear the bad news. Heatmore is an excellent unit that stands on its own. Roxanne's thread and your competitor sure haven't done them any favors

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / copper water coil failure
« on: August 24, 2014, 08:28:29 PM »
The 1/2 ID 50' hot water coil in our OWB failed in several places after four years while being used 24/7 - 365 for DHW. What conditions contribute to this failure? There were several pinhole leaks

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: PAYBACK TIME FOR YOUR OUTDOOR WOOD BOILER
« on: May 16, 2014, 07:23:36 PM »
We always wished for an outdoor wood furnace. After 25 years of burning wood in the basement through our Wilkening home heater fireplace the firebox finally failed. Backup is forced air fuel oil. Found a new outdoor wood stove on CL for 3000 dollars....never heard of the shaver brand but didn't care its a start! Did a self install in 2011 using the stoves water coil for DHW, Badger 5 wrap pipe and a water to air HX for home heat and are thrilled with the results. The furnace just got us through one of the toughest winters ever here in N Minnesota it easily easily heats our home and hot water and probably paid for itself in its first year. We think the stove works superbly and have had no issues. Even if as predicted it some how turns into junk we are in the position now to set something else on the slab and just hook it up. Its outdoor wood furnace forever for us!
