Natures Comfort / Re: Draft Fan Opening

Wood acres... Can I ask if you have applied skirting around your unit? We are still scratching heads with very similar issues on my 175. Does anyone know what kind of efficiency losses can be attributed to leaving the owb open underneath?

BTW..for some background...I purchased a Natures Comfort NCB 175 unit just before Thanksgiving. Heating a 2700Sqft farmhouse (pretty well insulated with fairly new windows) and running through a Burnham 121mbh Oil boiler system and heating a 40 gal water heater. I was hoping to someday run a second loop to a workshop but at this rate I see no way that could happen. Im only running underground 85' or so to the house.
I am routinely running through two short bed pickup loads of oak/maple in one weeks time with ambient temps varying from 40's down to the teens this week....and generally dont have sufficient hot water when doing so.

Im at least glad to hear i am not the only one struggling with my unit (Woodacres)...I too am about ready to have some one haul it back. Wishing i would have purchased a Central Boiler at this point. I have played with about every setting i know to play with and am getting lousy burn times as well as wide temp swings. I can only get boiler temps up with the damper wide open, i am getting initial temp up to 190 (have my aquastat turned up) and within 8 hours firebox is empty and temp is back down to 120. If I close up the damper, my initial temps never get up high enough and i still get lousy burn times. I only get feedback that my wood isnt dry enough. My dealer has been working hard to try to get to the bottom of it, but not much luck. Any thoughts? NCB-175
