CB makes one I have two 6048's one has a cap on the other one I use a bucket in the off season I think a good chimney fire is a good thing every once in a while it helps keep it clean
The burner with out the cap plugged last year, the one with the cap not yet, I also have one extra section of stack on both?

Let it burn down peel the old one out wire brush works good to clean it up, apply a bead of silicone put the new rope in load the furnace and shut the door 20 minute job I've done mine hot. You might take a wire brush and fluff the old one up and try that before changing it.

Central Boiler / Re: Ash height

« on: December 03, 2013, 07:47:15 PM »

I usually take 3 - 5 gallon buckets out at a time, which would leave about two buckets of ash in the furnace I've already taken 6 buckets out so far this year. I know some guys take out a bucket a week, I would say above the door is to much, as it gets colder you will be burning more material in turn the ash will need to be maintained more often. IMO

   PN 5052 page 17 in the central boiler parts catalog indoor temp indicator
I have two of them there off by about 10 degrees but gives you a good idea what things are doing
It's not wireless but you just tee into the line in the basement and run your wire real easy install

Central Boiler / Re: Hard Water an issue?

Yes it's hard on the pumps I went thru 12 pumps in one year before they figured it out, central boiler makes a softener that attaches to a garden hose it's good for 500 gallons. Now I use rain water out of the sistern there's no minerals and it's already soft, I haven't had problems since  OMO

There is a nut and bolt on the bearing which is slotted loosen it up and adjust it in or out for the right tension, you need to do the top and bottom bearings not just one
