General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Central boiler rust problem. Help!!

« on: December 20, 2013, 10:10:16 AM »

I have a central boiler classic 6048. This makes my 4th year running it. I use the ashtrol everyday just like it says to do. I clean the ashes out regularly and test my water just as it says. I am having an issue with rust on the flange of the opening of the fire box. This is where the rope seal meats the flange when the door shuts.

I noticed when I go out to fill the stove that there is like black looking water at the base of the stove that has leaked through the door. I have adjusted the door cams, and I have painted the areas that have rust with a product called rustame 2 this is supposed to stop the rust. I plan on changing the rope seal. The only thing is if I change the rope seal? Will this cause the moisture to pool up right where the door is while it's closed?

I guess my question is why am I getting moisture right there at my door and nowhere else in the stove including my stack? What do I need to do to stop this? Is anyone else having this problem? I would post picture if I knew how to load them on here.
Thanks for any input or suggestions.
