General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: Anyone using a natures comfort gasification boiler?

« on: March 24, 2012, 06:24:52 PM »

I have the 250. Second year with it. WORST investment I have made. I need to clean it every other day or I have problems getting it to maintain temp. Cleaning it is no easy task! Wood has to be split very small and has to be very dry. I had an Aquatherm for the previous ten years, cleaning was easy and if I could lift it I could burn it.

Natures Comfort / Re: GT-220

Thanks for the prompt help. I am in Fond du Lac.Total space a little over 8000. Generally run temperature at 180. At 0 degrees I am lucky to get 8 hours. I have the 220 in a shed. My wood is on a trailer, kept dry and is over a year old. With the cold temps, I have been using oak and hickory. When the weather is a little warmer I use elm,cherry and ash.

Natures Comfort / GT-220

« on: January 21, 2012, 10:58:15 AM »

I am going on my second year with Natures Comfort GT-220.I have had issues from day one!
Electrical ones initially, now with the pieces on the bottom of the door with 4 nuts to remove. I don't know what they do, but the old ceramic basically broke apart in the holders. The new stainless steel ones get plugged with a very hard substance.

The burn time is also poor. I feel the fire box is too small.

Wish I had kept with my old Aquatherm.

Did I get a lemon or is Natures Comfort just that pitiful.
