When I'm gone for the weekend, I come back to no fire with cold air blowing from the fan.  I have a MF3000 Heatmaster, is there anyway to shut down the fan when it hits something like 100 degrees and let it burn out on its own and not get blown out by the fan?

Does anyone have any tips and suggestions to follow when firing back up my furnace for the season?
I've got the MF3000 Heatmaster.

What are the correct steps to take to shut down my MF3000 for the summer?  This is the only topic I haven't been able to figure out - thanks friends!

HeatMaster / Re: fast burn times
« on: February 04, 2015, 09:49:37 AM »
I was eating through wood b/c I was emptying the bin each time it got heavy.  Then I noticed I'd get a longer burn time if I kept more ash in there, more insulation from the cold or less air blowing in, I don't know, but my wood lasts way longer when it's real cold.
So when I empty the bin, I scrape out some of the ash and keep the bin more than half full.
If the bin gets too full, its hard for the air to blow on it, so I take out some of the ash every week or so.

Nope, called my dealer, he said he's never heard of needing to put oil but he said can't hurt it.  Haven't had a chance to see if it works

If someone owns a heatmaster, can you tell me what oil and how much and how to do this? Thank you!

Hey friends,
My temp was having trouble getting passed 140 this morning despite a good fire going in the firebox.  I noticed my fan was louder than normal as it was on trying to kick up the heat. Is there a way to clean the fan or inside the blower? I'm wondering if that's the problem. I took out the whole pan to clean out extra ash down there, but it's still louder than normal. Thanks for words of wisdom!
Oh I have the heatmaster MF3000
