My buddy installed Central Boiler's Edge 750 last winter. I'm totally impressed with it. Getting higher reaction chamber temps than I do with my E2400 and the firebox seems to burn drier with less creosote build up. He paid $2,000 less than I did for my E2400 that I bought back in 2010. CB has made a ton of advancements since their first gasser back in 2007. Self modulating air throughout each burn cycle rocks when you check out how it works on the XP wifi history charts. I still think the combustion temp sensor and self air modulation is the  feature that sets it apart.

Boilerman - I'm entering my 6th season with E-Classic 1400.  I fired her up 2 weeks ago.  I'm heating an 1840's farmhouse approximately 4500sqft.  I know that I'm on the high end of what this thing can handle.  I'm impressed that it can handle that amount of square footage.  I know there will be a time when I'll have to replace it.  At this time, it's not showing any signs of corrosion.  CB says they have a new Edge with titanium stainless steel.  What is titanium stainless steel?  When hear a description like that, generally it's followed by a lot of dollar signs.  Can offer any insight or information as to what titanium stainless steel is?   Thanks, Roger

Titanium enhanced stainless steel is regular ole 409 stainless just like Heatmor and Heatmaster already use, I think maybe Crown Royal? also uses it.

Thanks, mlappen.  I think "titanium stainless steel" sounds fancier than 409.

Yes Roger, mlappin is right on the money. The Edge Titanium Series is a Titanium Enhanced 409 Stainless. It is the best stainless option for outdoor furnaces and is the same option as those offered by the companies mlappin listed. If looking for extended corrosion resistance it is a great option, but does cost more.

Yes and no, up front it does cost more, but given the longer service life the per year cost over the stoves life is much lower.

Basically if a person is only worried about what it’s going to cost today but not in the future, 409 stainless may not be for them.

I’m a strong believer in stainless in the right applications, I’ve ordered several stainless steel bearings for a few spots in the grain drying setup, getting tired of changing the same ones every year.
