HeatMaster / Re: heatmaster c series

yes my father bought a 5000he the same time I got the g100 he burns some coal in his at night with wood mixed in he gets about 14 to 15 hours out of it but I wanted to go to just straight coal I have read on other coal forums where guys have tried just coal and it didn't work unless they put a timer in the draft fan to keep the coal burning it requires more air during idle time than wood that's what I was trying to see if they added a timer on the c series also I wanted to burn ant. coal instead of bit coal witch has more btu's burns with very little smoke but its harder to keep it burning than bit coal which is what most people burn around here my fathers looks like a freight train when it fires up back to the g100 if I was going to stay with wood I would definitely stay with it its a little more work and planning but I couldn't stand how inefficient my hardy was don't get me wrong I only had to put one blower motor on in 14 years its a good brand I just didn't care for a 6 inch hole right above the fire  when my father switched from a H4 to the 5000he his wood usage went down too quit a bit not like the g100 but definitely worth the switch though I think I might call heatmaster direct since my local dealer doesn't know much about the c series I know someone told me that a dealer named yoder requested the c series so I was hoping he might have commented on this don't know if that was ture or not

well the first winter was tough I think I got the first one they built I went through two draft motors and about mid jan the refractory in the second burn chamber started to fall apart and did I metion I don't have a back up heat source when the refractory started to fall apart I had trouble keeping it burning I work a 12 hour night shift came home to a cold house a lot but I knew there was going to be a learning curve to it and heatmaster was good about replacing the motors they even sent out a couples of techs over the summer to make updates to it my only complaint was the refractory I just got the new one 2 weeks ago I seen a rep at the paul buyan show ask about the refractory and he said they were building a new kilm and it would be up in running in a couple of weeks which that would have been fine with me except they had a new g100 sitting there if it was me I would have given the one out of it to a custumer that had been waiting as long as I have anyway I had an hardy H2 for 14 years went through about 10 to 12 cord and now I go through 5 to 6 but its a pain to cut firewood 16 inches on the money and you half to split it about the size of a 4x4 so less wood but more work it goes out sometimes when its in the 50s or 60s so you can't heat your dhw year round that's why I now have a hot water tank and new furnace
