Empyre / Re: Aspen Owner is Looking for Feedback
« on: April 10, 2009, 10:22:41 PM »
Maine
I have a Greenwood Aspen. Been operating since Jan 1st 2009. I clean the boiler tubes about every 3 weeks. I clean the lower ash tube every 2-3 days. Biggest problem? The fine ash sometimes packs in the firebox, where the air must exit down into the lower ash tube. This packed ash limts air flow and temperature will never get over 140F. The only fix is to taek the tool provided and rake the opeingins from firebox to ash tube. Careful this is firebrick. I will say, this packing happens only sometimes. It is more common during springtime, since during January at near zero F temps we had no issues.
I am heating 3000 sqft house, all domestic hot water, and a 1000 sqft workshop. Insulation is average at best, all buildings are 40 years old.
