Huh, another New Hampster person. Hi from Grafton County.

Very informative video, Jay. Seeing the wood boiler in action is cool , but the exchanger and zone set up is "where the magic happens". Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much! Very helpful

Thank you for taking the time to do these videos I recently purchased a classic 6048 and have learned a lot from you still waiting to finish Installing it and fire it up for the season

Very nice system! Heated floors sound cozy. Enjoy.

Thanks for explaining that Jay. I'm a new wood boiler user. I thought that the wood was always burning with flame, but I quickly found out that's not the case. When the damper is closed, the wood is just smoldering. It is only burning with flames when the damper opens. I figured out that when the water temp reaches 180 the damper closes and when it drops below 170 it opens. When it is heating inside the house the heat exchanger is taking heat off the water and dropping the water temp. My water seems to circulate at an average temp of about 167. When the water temp gets to below 170 the damper opens and the wood actively burns to maintain the heat level. When the temp. inside the house reaches the thermostat set point the heat isn't being taken off the circulating water by the blower through the exchanger and so the water temp. climbs back to 180, the damper closes, and the burning goes from active flames to smoldering coals/wood to maintain the 180 degrees.

I like the plumbing.

Nice job explaining your setup. Gives me ideas for when we start on our homestead. 3 years hopefully! Thanks again

That is a good detailed video! My OWB is slightly different, as it got forced air blowing inside. And I do run glycol (non-toxic propylene glycol) throughout the house. Thanks!

great overview of the boiler, I always wondered how they worked.

Hey Jay!! I really like your setup downstairs with the different zones! That's one thing I wish I had was infloor heat!! My wife and I in the near future will be building a new house so that's already in the blue prints!! Stay safe my friend!!

Good overview and explanation. Thanks for the video!

Great video Jay. I have seen the forced air style set ups before, looks like a radiator installed in the furnace, similar to a the AC coil. I heat with a fire place for supplemental heat.

Good to know how it works finally.

I load my furnace just like you do. A little pine and a little hardwood. Works perfect.

5:00 so that's where all the TP in 2020 went.. lol thanks for breaking it down. good video

Thank You For Caring, If I Comment Or Not ,Nice Job On Explaining Your Outdoor Woodburner !!!

Good morning buddy yeah I like that video you did a really good job looks like she's working really good you did a really good job showing that good job buddy

Good evening Sir ! Very well explained video Sir 🧐👍 Keep up your Great KZfaq Ethics Sir and keep warm Cheers !!!

Great video! Does the pump on the boiler itself constantly run?

Hey Jay, asked a question awhile back . Was curious if you ever have to change the water out in the jacket. You were going to find out from someone.

Tay-coe is how it’s said lol. Tacos comes from Taco Bell

Hey bud, thanks for posting this video. What do you think about smaller loads like you did versus loading up the burn box?

I got a 5068 for free this fall the out side water jet rusted and was thin and was leaking I scraped all the spray foam off and welded it all up I ended up having to cut out a 2 square foot peace. out of it, it was so thin. I got it plumed into my shop now and it works great next year i'm going run a line to the house.

Use that long Rake and take of spark Sheild run wide open through the winter , I have same one I know u know this but mine set up to cast iron radiators and radiant heat on my first floor , ok’d farm house with no insulation , 👍🏻 keep in mind u don’t have to go below frost line with 6 in cause 2 things it’s insulated , and second the water always moving , but I haven’t bought oil in 17 years it’s a win for us 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Did I see the plate style heat exchanger correctly? It looks like it was the size of a box of tissues. Very small for the amount of heat it exchanged.

Jay, Doesn’t that machine have a separate ash door under the main door? Since I didn’t see one, I assume you have to let the fire go out before emptying the ashes. Am I right or did I miss something?

Hey JD say its better not to have that screen on spark arrester on top What do you think

Jay! how you doing buddy? Looking good! Stay warm, friend

Do you refill the water in the 300 gallon holder regularly or does it cycle through for a long time?

What do you do if you are not going to be home to feed the fire? Let’s say a mini vacation or something. Do you worry about pipes freezing?

What's the longest you can go between loading it ?

I'm wondering why you don't fill the boiler up with wood and eliminate your trip out at midnight to re-load? Looks like you had a ton of room to add more.

havn"t they developed a smaller wood boiler to not burn such mass of wood ? The heat exchanger looked so small .

How much wood do you use in a year

How much money do you think you save vs. using electricity?

How many plates is your heat exchanger?

can u give estimate how much this cost me ? equipments + labor. tia!

I fill my boiler full of wood , then it will last 24 hours.
