Have the same unit and on my third season. First 2 seasons was a learning experience. Had to clean it Several times a season, but was also not burning good seasoned wood. This year my wood is seasoned well and what a difference it has made. Cleaned at the end of last season and this season I’ve only had to sweep my stack twice. That’s it, no other cleaning. Returned my pulse settings back to factory this past fall and inside my firebox has never looked so clean. The dry wood has made a huge difference. Happy burning
Thank you very much for all this information to help people make wise decisions and count the cost before they get into outdoor wood boiler. The good-bad-and the ugly! 👍
Yes super dry wood and posibly coal when cold, it should save on wood and cleaning. My uncle brings wood inside for a week to dry up and its big diference. If you have warm garage, and some space, consired rotating palets of wood every few days in garage with tractor, then load the boiler with warm dry wood. I see others with your boilwr agree. Try it if fesible, wish you a warm winter😊
Had a Central Boiler E-Classic 2400 in use for 7 years heating a 5,000 sq ft home and garage. It began leaking water into the firebox on year 7. Central Boiler refused to stand behind their 25 year warranty. Never again would I buy a unit from Central Boiler. There are much better units available at the same price point. We now have a propane combi boiler and heat pumps to heat and cool our home (Central Maine). Plenty of heat, not very expensive, and no headaches!!
I love burning wood, but I went with mini split heat pumps with solar because I can just not think about it 99% of the time. Then on extra cold nights (single digits F or lower) or when I want a nice fire for ambiance I light up the wood stove. The only cleaning I need to do is brushing snow off of the panels.
Here’s a related question; would you do it again? What alternatives would you do instead? Different models or sources of heat? It sounds like more hassle than I expected.
I have the smaller model of your furnace and agree - cleaning is a pain. But I do use a lot less wood than our old boiler did. I forgot to send in my sample this year - ugh!!
Have had 3 different wood boilers over 37 years and will never buy another with the insane cost they are now... zero pay back for many many years and lots of work like you say... waste of money
I would never purchase one of those. Too many variables of things to go wrong. Ill stick to my wood stove and propane water heater. Only 600 a year in ptopane in Maine
Do you still have the tree companies dumping their tree removals there? It sounds like you need all the wood you can get, maybe time to invest in an extended bar for the chainsaw and start taking stumps again
I'd like to see that also. Katahdin sheep could be a good addition for him. They are low maintenance, and are not the usual, cliché youtuber homestead animal.

Thanks for sharing your negative takes on this. Looking forward to the positives on it as per your last vid states.

Is your boiler rated for burning coal? If so you can have longer heating cycles in the bitter cold.

Obviously you missed his last vid.
I thought you had a wood stove. Why would you need a boiler too?
