General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: Can't get the temperature above 125

Again thank you.  We've been trying to figure out wood and how much to use, stack it etc.  I've had a regular indoor woodstove for years but this type is all new to me.  I'm sure we will get the hang of it in time but glad for all the help I have found on here already!

added more wood it is up to 149, so was easy answer maybe! We did check to make sure the damper was opening and closing too and it is.  I am glad I found this forum.  As I said we inherited the house and furnace and we have the paperwork but it's really no help.

Hate to sound stupid but what is the solenoid?  We have not added anything to it at all.  How do I find out if I have an air feed problem.  We are burning seasoned wood.  Thanks for your help and explanations.  I really appreciate it.

We use it to heat the house.  As I said I am new to all this.  My father had it installed a few years ago and we have inherited his house with it installed.  It is our main source of heat instead of having oil. Hot water is not run off of it.

I'm new to this whole outdoor furnace. We have a Classic Central Boiler.  It is usually at 170 but this morning it got down to 99 and the fire was almost out.  The water tube in front does show there is water and the fire inside is going well and has been all day.  However we can not get it to go above 125?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
