Thanks for all the videos, they certainly are helpful.
In this video you mention that it's not that important to crawl inside to clean the creosote in the back of the boiler. Does the creosote not hold stagnant moisture, that will rot from the inside out?. Also if it's never cleaned, will it not inhibit the heat transfer?
Thanks

To small of a concern to worry about on both. Bigger fish to fry. Nice picture, big fish! WoW

Thanks for this video! I bought a home with a wood boiler installed. Do I need to do anything inside the house like flip any valves? How does it run off the thermostat when I have a propane furnace as well?

[@AltheatsupplyLLC]

Not really sure if I can answer that. Study the pipes and water flows and you should be able to figure it out. give us a call if you need help. Jeff

could you tell me where the solenoid you refer to is located. My furnace does not shut down at 190 degrees, it runs up much too high. Thank you for doing this video.

20/20 June and our boiler got several cracks in it around the door so we had a welder come out for $175 which is more than reasonable fairly cheap did a great job of it would cost us $1,000 just to weld that one piece, you filled the boiler back up with water after 6 to 7 years of using it each year, to see if there was any more holes and found out there was a whole third the top or we couldn't even get to it to weld it you would have had to taken the whole furnace apart itself just to weld one piece, not worth it if we need to heat our house we're going to go back to our old Log Cabin which we've never had a problem with it will heat are home but it won't heat our pool we're going to look for other solutions to heat our pool, you would think for $5,000 a furnace would last longer than 6 to 7 years wish I had them spent the money or invested in it me it's all a bunch of BS fabricated for someone else to make money off of B boiling machine that cannot stand the Heat wished I would have researched it more before I purchased do anyone thinking about purchasing a wood boiler buyer beware are welder said he well it's a lot of them that crack

First winter at my new house that has a wood boiler. when I go to turn the fan on the fan cover pops up like its supposed to but then the fan just hums. is there any reason the fan should not be turning on?

[@AltheatsupplyLLC]

Probably went bad, replace it...

[@tinameoak881]

I wanted to know how to manage the damper

[@AltheatsupplyLLC]

with an aquastat is best. Look into our DIY kits. I made it easy for you. Jeff

[@shipyard8618]

Do you have any experience with gasification boilers?

[@AltheatsupplyLLC]

Yes, burned several versions of them. Not a big fan

@@AltheatsupplyLLC I’m in the process of getting a crown royal 7300e. Anything you can recommend? Lots of rebates and claims of using much less wood?
