Fire Wood / Re: Coal vs Wood

« on: February 09, 2014, 08:02:27 PM »

Artbaldoni does your NCB 175 have shaker grates. If not would it burn coal better with them. Has the mix of coal and wood extended your burn time given you a hotter fire? I'm not familiar with different grades of coal but could it be the grade of coal that it will not burn.  I'm thinking that mixing both would be a good combination. I'm interested in trying this approach

So are you saying you can get by with one pump or a smaller one on the boiler and a small one after the furnace heat exchanger.

You will find a lot of help on this sight. Im in the process of buying a unit also hope to have made a decision today. Im not in that $700.00 monthly range for heating cost think my is around  $400.00 to 450.00  hard for me to tell with propane. I use it to heat water as well as the house. I know I used approximately 1500 gal last year average of $2.00 a gal. Cost this winter has risen to over $5.00 per gal whats worst is being ration because of a shortage. Never going to be at their mercy again. From what I have read the Heatmaster is a excellent unit.
Im leaning toward a Empyre Cozeburn 450 it appears to be a god boiler. Havent seen much on this site about it would like some feed back from anyone using one. Good luck

I live Gibson county out in the country near Princeton. I have a pole barn style house 6in walls 14in in ceiling thought it was insulated good enough but my propane usage was near 300 gal last 5 weeks. I would love to use a CB 5036 think it would be the right size but was told its not  legal had to go to the 6048.  I think that a 6048 is over kill.  where did you get your unit ? Where I live my closet neighbor is 1/2 mile away. Do you have something for sale?

What made you change to the E2400, how long have you used wood burners? I guess the CB is about as good as they come, I have a CB dealer and PM dealer near me. Thanks for your help

Portage & Main / CB Gasser or PM Gasser

« on: February 02, 2014, 09:30:04 AM »

Im new to OWB. Have read all the good and bad reviews Just dont  know if the  CB Classic would be a better than a PM Gasser or CB Gasser. It looks like the gassers do not use as much wood. But have there issues with electronics. Any advice would help. I live in southern In and if I use a CB classic I have to use a 6048 because of EPA regs. The CB Classic would be over kill but dont know if that's a bad thing.
