Central Boiler / 5036 Chimney

« on: October 18, 2015, 05:38:26 PM »

I have a 3 year old 5036. I have to replace the chimney tee, and when I got it tore apart I noticed the pipe was in rough shape also, the SS liner was warped, like the tee was. I got the tee at the local dealer, and I didn't get the price from them on the pipe. It is probably expensive, but anyone have a place to get the Hi-Heat pipe? Oh ya the dealer said  I must have had some hi temp in there. What size is this pipe considered 8" ? Thanks

My first boiler was a Pacific Western, 150 gal. Did a great job, had it from 2001 thru the 2013 heating seasom. Very similar to the Burnrite models. I bought a CB 5036, works OK, had a couple run aways, but other then that not a bad stove. If I was to do it again, I probably would go with a Burnrite (only 15 miles away) or a Ridge wood stove.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: When to Remove Ash.. Has Been Discussed before would like to revist the topic

« on: December 11, 2014, 11:27:08 AM »

seems like every few days we are taking a 1/4 wheelbarrow out, CB 5036, natural draft. My old stove was fan forced air, which I only took ashes out a couple times a season. I figured being force draft it was blowing the fines up the chimney. But it seems we are taking out too frequently, I've been burning with a OWB since 2000. Burning 100% white/scrub oak.

Not too many reasons, but I bought it, because of just about everyone around here has one. My brother did the factory tour, said what he noticed was great workmanship. I made my dicision to go with C/B for those reasons, plus I like the dealer, delt with him for supplies for my first OWB. Now my first OWB called a Pacific Western, 150 gal. loved it fan forced air, solenoid for air flapper never stuck open to cause a runaway, actually the only thing other then springing a pencil size leak, was it sheared the pin for the solenoid/draft. So with that said, I've had 2 drafts stick open, causing 210 degree steamover occuring naturally at 3am, thank god the dog had to go outside. I would assume its not the solenoid itself, though I'm getting a spare one, because I have read on here about some C/B's overheating. But other then that it seems like a good stove, you see alot of them out there so for the most part they do their job pretty good. Would I buy another one, well I wish I would have found this forum, sooner, there's alot of good stoves out there. Oh ya I keep the solenoid lubed up now. I know it a little thing, I just wonder why is this happeng with the C/B.

Central Boiler / 5036 door rope

« on: December 12, 2013, 01:20:14 PM »

Going on my second year on the stove, theres some black liquid substance leaking out the bottom of the door, figure the rope seal is bad. Unless its coming out when the draft is open, reason why I say that is when the draft is closed, there is no flame going on in firebox. So if its the seal, this is winter, do I shut the stove down, get on propane, and replace the seal, is this a few hours job, or do I have to put seal/silicone iin and let set a time before firing back up?  Thanks
