Pools & Hot Tubs / Pool Setups
« on: April 20, 2015, 01:12:18 PM »
Just bought the following heat exchanger to heat my pool with my Woodmaster 4400. Going to be setting up in the next week or so. Just was wondering if anyone else out there wanted to share info about their setups or had any tips to share.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Temps Rising....Settings
« on: March 09, 2015, 12:40:19 PM »
Hi all. With rising temps around the corner was looking to get some opinions on temp settings. We are creeping in some days into the 40s now here in CT. Being my first year with an OWB. I've been at 175-165 (10 degree diff) all season. Any suggestions as it gets warmer?

Fire Wood / Firewood Hands Hurt Like Hell
« on: March 02, 2015, 11:01:38 AM »
Do you hands hurt constantly from grabbing and moving wood holding up and down the long way. Meaning you grab the wood on the log end with your hand on top and the log dangling down to carry it? My hands are always in pain doing wood. Anyone experience same?

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Help! Bridging I think....
« on: February 24, 2015, 07:54:25 AM »
Hey all-
Its my first season with an OWB so I'm a newbie. I am using a Woodmaster 4400. I haven't had this issue until the last few days and I'm not sure what is causing it. I think you folks call it bridging but I'm not sure. I have loaded the OWB a number of times and the fire seems to be burning well but the temp doesn't come up. In fact, it seems to be dropping. The fan keeps running and burns out the front/middle wood but the temp doesn't come up. When I notice it hasn't cycled after awhile I'll go back out and stoke everything and I can get it back up usually but its taking a lot more work than it has. Any thoughts or tips?

Fire Wood / F'ng Snow is Killing Me for Cutting
« on: February 15, 2015, 04:07:32 PM »
Live here in Connecticut on the shore in New Haven County. It's been snowing one storm after another for a number of weeks. I have between 3-4 feet on the ground. Needless to say, can't get my truck into the woods and cutting has been ground pretty much to a halt. I've had to buy some bundles of slab wood to supplement. Way low on wood and now I'm burning almost 100% green wood with the exception of standing dead stuff that is in close proximity to the road and I can pull out to the truck. What a mess. Snow, please go away! At this rate, it will be April before we see any melt.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Metal in the Wood
« on: February 05, 2015, 12:37:57 PM »
Hi all, accidently threw some scrap wood in the boiler that had some metal (I think steel) fasteners on it. not a lot maybe like 6 or 7 similar to 1" bolts. Anything I need to be worried about? Will they be ok in there until summertime when I shut it down?

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Chimney Fires
« on: January 16, 2015, 07:19:35 AM »
Just wanted everyone's take on Chimney Fires. I seem to be getting the occasional chimney fire in my OWB. I'm assuming its because I've been burning quite a bit of green wood lately. Wondering other people's experience with chimney fires. Is there something I need to do or just let it burn itself out? Is it dangerous? I just let them go, it looks like a rocket about to launch.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Cycle times, How Often Does Your Fan Run?
« on: January 15, 2015, 11:21:20 AM »
Hi all. Just looking to get some general discussion on cycle times. I know it very varies between type of wood and how seasoned and also the outside temp. I've noticed it varies throughout the day also the cycle times seem to get a bit longer a bunch of cycles into a load rather than first couple cycles after loading the boiler. Also certain times of the day when my programmable thermostat in the house is set to go up a couple degrees the house pulls more heat out of the boiler which causes my fan to run longer. Just wanted to get some other observations and comments to see what other folks experience. It's my first year running an OWB, Woodmaster 4400 and so far I love it and its doing a great job. Thanks!
