General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: 20 yr old OWB just failed: recommend brand/model to replace?

Hey bud I just purchased a earth mountain man 500 and couldn't be more happier. It has a half inch fire box the thickest in the industry and its built like a tank. Total investment is around $9500. bucks. It's very east to run and maintain. They sell everything you need to hook up and install. Hope this helps out and check out there website www.earthoutdoorfurnace.com. With the half inch fire box and option I ordered the shaker grates I burn coal also.

Earth Outdoor Wood Furnaces / earth furnaces exceeds my expectations

« on: November 25, 2012, 06:34:04 PM »

Earth furnaces are built like a tank and performs flawless. I purchased the mountain man 500 with the ash door and grate system and it runs great. I had to change the temp set point from 150 to 185 because that seems what everyone runs their burner at. Seems to have helped because it stays hotter longer, the blower fan runs a lot less, and it still smokes but not quite as bad when the blower motor runs. When it is at idle there's hardly any smoke. I have a total investment of $9500. in it cost of furnace, parts, install, permit, and inspection. I figure in a 5 year span it will pay it's self off since oil in my area is $4.19 a gallon and recently could go up to 19 to 32 percent in today's news paper. House and hot water is very hot!!! Best investment I made. I learned a lot on this site and hope its around a long time. Thanks everyone for the good information.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / guestion on temp settings

« on: November 23, 2012, 02:00:40 PM »

My burner runs at 150 then blower fan kicks on and at 160 it shuts off, what I've been reading most people have there set point at 185. Is this the magic set point and will it make the burner run more efficient.
