Plumbing / Brass fittings
« on: December 26, 2020, 09:19:22 PM »
This past week I had my second fitting on my heat exchanger developed a leak, when changed it was paper thin as if it was sand blasted...
This is second time, first year or so ago, different heat exchanger...
Thoughts???

Portage & Main / Re: moisture out chimney
« on: January 27, 2016, 08:01:17 PM »
Hey, guys; hate too chime in, I am having the exact same issues... I have the 34-44 and everyone said my boiler would be undersized. Not the issue at all. Came home this evening to find mine boiling off again, 4-5 time this season... I think I lost a pump this time... I am at a loss. My manual said to supply - top; and return - bottom ports. My wood is well seasoned 4+ years - from a power line clearing. Supplying 2 buildings (house 3500 sq ft and 1800 sq ft shop). Running grundfos 26-99 to house and grundfos 15-58 to shop. I am located in Virginia (northwest).

No not exactly,
House is heat/pump and propane forced air; using about 600-800 gal propane a year. ($1200-2000 per year)
Electric goes up bout $100 per in 4-5 winter months(using electric heat in attached garage and bonus room, due to water lines and bathroom)
Still burning 6+ cords of wood.
Not counting kerosene/diesel in shop for torped. heater - I guess 50+ gals at $3.00gal

thanks for all the input...
yea virginia is not as bad as you all get up north... most winter days 20-35f; we have had a fair amount of colder this year but i think everyone has... i currently have a clayton wood furnace in the basement and it does a fair job, just dont get the burn time... i work 10-12 hour shifts and come home to a cold house, not good... and want to be able to put some heat in my shop; I service all of our farm equipment through out the winter, to have ready for the spring season. get tired of listening to that kerosene heater. Kinda thinking may be able to write off a portion on my taxes for farm use...
I guess i should have told you all that house and shop apprx 90-100 feet apart; planning on OWB in between the two. 200+ acres of good hardwood, i will never be able to burn all the dead red oak in my lifetime; access to equipment to move large amounts of wood.
I am currently using 6-8 cord per year now...
thanks again for the info; love the site...

I am so confused, I have talked to many dealers on many different brands; and 3 different dealers on one brand - All different info...
I am in North Western VIRGINIA (not West Virginia)-
I would like to heat the following -
3400 sqft Residence w/ water to air in furnace; well insulated and good windows (many though);
400 sqft Bonus Room over Garage - not determined on what to use
750 sqft Attached Garage, with hung type unit (water lines for above listed bonus room)
Domestic Hot Water
I would like to do the above on one line set, then add second line set to a Shop 1800 sqft well insulated also.
Both the Garage and shop would not need the ability to reach high temps.
I have looked at CB6048, Woodmaster5500, Heat MasterMF10000, Heatmor400, Acme340 and Crown Royal7400...
I have had 3 different dealers for the same brand tell me different - 2 says big enough and 1 says noway...
ANY HELP...
