It gets cold -20 but we dont see -40 or -60 that is cold we live at 10,000 feet.

I have the backup and you had to order it when you got your CB. They dont even offer it any more on the new 2400 or the 1400. I have yet to ever use my backup other then just to make sure it works.

I have had mine set for like 12 days with no fire (I'm in Colorado 10,000 feet) But I do leave the bypass valve off that way the water runs through the heat exchanger, and set my house furnace to around 68 that way it will heat the water as it blows hot air through the heat exchanger.

I like the dual fuel on my e2300 for lighting my wood. But for use as a back up I use the house furnace it is a lot more efficient. Also in reading on the new dual fuel setup it looks like if you have it the clean start mode it will be using gas every time it starts a heat cycle to get the firebox up to temp not sure I would like that that means it is burning LP or Gas every time it heats the water back up to temp now that is how I read this. (Clean Start™: This wood burning mode allows the Dual Fuel Burner to operate for a selected period of time in the beginning of each burn cycle to create immediate high temperature in the secondary combustion area of the Ripple Top® and Heat Lock Baffle® firebox design. This mode also provides automatic backup with alternate fuel.)
Now on the E2300 it only lights if the boiler goes below I think it is like 165 not sure on that temp. or you push the relight button then you can tell it how long to burn and when it is done with that time it shuts off tell you push it again, But as long as you have the other button on (Wood relight) it will try to light the wood up to 3 times when the temp drops below 165.
And then if you have it in gas back up it will go to gas to heat up the water.
Hope this helps out some I know the E2300 are setup different then the new ones.
