  • HI everyone here is a quick video on a few tips to save wood on your outdoor wood boiler! This is my Central Boiler CL 6048 Classic! Always try to keep your wood and coals near the front of the door to maximize heat transfer! If you have wood far back it will be wasted and go right up the chimney!

    Good to see the side view diagram of the machine! My OWB is quite different in that perspective. I've started to add bigger founds when I have a nice bed of coal. Works good! Thanks!

      It does indeed! Good coals you dont need to add split wood just fat rounds!

    I pretty much did the same thing. My chimney came right into the firebox in the back so I always kept the wood to the front. Stay safe my friend

    Hey, Jay I really learned a lot from your videos before i got my boiler. I just posted a video on my Johnson boiler so someone can hopefully learn something from me. Thank you for all your useful information!

    Good evening Jay..
    It’s kinda funny to be able to work out side sweatshirt on January 4. It’s just not right.. But we are going to pay this summer when it is dry with not having much snow for run off this spring… I am not liking this at all… mud season is on us now.. hahahaha
    As always stay safe and always be kind.
    Go 603…

    Another great video. I’m sure you have said it in the past. But how much sqft are you heating?

    • @HomesteadJay
      @HomesteadJay  Рік тому

      About 3200. One home, no shop or anything. 6 heating zones, floor grid, and hot water heater!

    Love that ash rake, I gotta remember to replace mine, the propane guy drove right over it :)
    Does you central boiler fan shoot air over to the right predominately? Mine doesn't hit anything on the left of the chamber, wondering if that's a flaw with the design or mine is just catawampus for some reason.

      How ironic a propane guy ran over a firewood rake lol these models don’t have fans so not sure what you mean haha

    Jay- I’ve had a cl6048 for fifteen years. I have a house 150btu heat exchanger, 125btu shop exchanger and a 150btu pool exchanger. I burn 3-4 cords of oak per year and my 20” rounds are center in the stove. We keep ashes 12” up front and slowly move them out once a week. I burn mine at 180. How many cords of wood do you burn a year. I’m Delaware. Thanks

    • @HomesteadJay
      @HomesteadJay  Рік тому

      Hey there Bill! Not knocking your technique but the wood should be closest to the door! The more center or rear the wood the more heat out the back. This is right from CB from the engineers who designed it. I dont really measure cords but we dont have as much heat demand as you and our winters are wild average temp is about 29 prob last few years. Deff burn a fair amount but deff less than 8 "cords" I dont measure so cant exactly say really!
