Congratulations on the purchase of your OWB.  I think you'll like the CB unit. Is this your first OWB?  I have the E-Classic 1400.  This is my 3rd season with it and I love it.  It's heating 3000sqft plus my domestic hot water.  I have it plumbed through my oil boiler with 50 plate flat plate heat exchanger separating the pressured system from the non-pressurized system and taking advantage of the triple aquastat to open the zone valves.  One zone is my living room/dining room space, another is the kitchen and another is my bedroom and finally the fourth is my domestic hot water.

Oh, welcome to the forum.  Roger

I live in NH and will be firing it up in the next few days. All the plumbing takes time. Phew. This thing looks awesome. I just look at it and smile everytime I go outside. Thanks for all the comments.

Where in NH do you live?  I'm over by the Connecticut River, Dartmouth College area...A small town So. East of Hanover called Enfield.  I believe we have a couple of forum members in the Lakes Region too.  Oh, welcome to the forum.  You'll like it here.  Roger

Nice pic!..Congrats on the new stove!.. A farm about 2 miles from me just had their new e-classic installed...Noticed the other day it is up and running.. Lakes Region NH here...

I live over in New Boston NH and man this boiler does the trick. First night and heat is much more uniform with a water coil in my FHA propane plenum than the propane flame. More even heat

Thanks all.

Congratulations on getting her fired up. 

Enjoy your new E-Classic 2300.  As the saying goes; you take of it, it'll take care of you.  Be sure to follow the manufacturers recommendations as to cleaning. wood type, etc... and make sure the ph is set to manufacturers recommendations too.  I have the 1400 and I test my water 2 times a year; once just before firing her up for the season and the other time is mid-summer when I'm not using it.  Roger

I love to read about my fellow NH'ites with Central Boiler furnaces!   I have an E-2300 and I am currently in my 4th season in Candia NH.  No problems at all.  Have any of you E-Classic users purchased the new Refractory Target Kit ?  If so, how does it work ?  Worth the $75 ?

buckgrunt - Howdy neighbor!  These E-Classics really do the trick, don't they?  This is my 3rd season heating my home and domestic hot water with it and I wonder why I waited so long to purchase one.  You mentioned in your post about the new Refractory Target Kit.  Tell me more about it.  I haven't heard about it.  What's the theory behind it?  Roger 

[buckgrunt]

The kit replaces the upper refractory panel and the metal grate bars located just above the reaction chamber.  It is made of that heat proof concrete and fits just above the reaction chamber in the fusion combuster.  It is supposed to increase efficiency and reduce maintenance.  I will try and post an attachment of this part.  I am wondering if it is worth the money.  Maybe I should hold off and follow the "If it ain't broke...don't fix it philosophy".   

[Roger2561]

Thank you for the information.

I have 2 refractory panels in my E-Classic 1400; one for each side of the firebox floor.  This past spring when I removed them to clean the fusion chamber, one side came out in 3 pieces.  My CB rep said that as long I can re-install them in the firebox and I'm able to get them tight, I should be okay to go.  I was able to mate the pieces together and all seems okay so far.  I'm thinking that next spring when I put it away for the summer, I may replace it.  I may simply purchase it anyway to have as a spare even if I don't use it right away.  A bit of insurance, if you will.  Roger

I just love how this unit barely burns any wood or smokes. The technology is just incredible. I would be happy to show any interested people this hookup if close by. Central Boiler you guys have your stuff together.
