Central Boiler / Re: CB 1400E Setting

« on: December 08, 2011, 03:21:02 PM »

Thanks everyone for the assistance. My main concern was the pulse timeout and length and if adjusting these settings I would consume less wood, in-addition to being concerned about taxing the system more by my settings. Mine seems to run best at 10 (TO) and 50 (L).

By the way, pine is the only economical wood available to me in CO(all the beetle kill) at about $180-200 per cord. Hardwood gets up to around $295-350 per cord.

Central Boiler / CB 1400E Setting

« on: December 07, 2011, 01:38:08 PM »

Hello, I am new to the forum and new to wood burning. My question is what settings should the pulse "timeout and "length be for maximum efficiency. Manual doesn't give much information and neither does my dealer. At 14 minutes of "timeout" and 50 sec. for length fire will not stay lit and it seems like I am using more wood then I should but not sure. At my current settings (see below) it works fine but, again, seems like I am burring a lot of wood. So far this season Oct / Nov have used almost two cords.

Thanks for any help in advance.
