- Were in the Northeast and building a custom 5000 SF home. Plenty of hardwoods on our 32 acres so we purchased a used Central Outdoor Wood Boiler not knowing there are EPA regulations to permit the installation. If your building a new home and looking to install an outdoor wood boiler, watch this. This will give you a brief recap of our experience and some helpful tips if you choose to go with one. If you're looking into the new Central Boiler Classic Edge, This is definitely for you.
Your Outdoor Wood Boiler is new so the gasket around the door must be new. The smoke pushing by the gasket is an indication you have air passage restriction between firebox and chimney. Check the entire air passage from firebox to top end of chimney. I believe the Classic edge has two draft fans and that they are pushing draft air and not pulling draft air. With the air passage restriction this is giving the appearance the fire box is pressurize. These outdoor wood boilers firebox are open to atmosphere thru the chimney and not pressurized unless you have a restriction as the leaking smoke is indicating.
The puff blow back on the bottom door / reaction chamber is telling you it has a problem, the air restriction could cause this, but also confirm that both draft fans are running when system call for a burn.
You are correct. I followed everyone's advice and cleaned out the excessive ash in the bottom of the firebox. I was using the "poker" with the tab on the end to stir up the coald but it did not remove enough ash. Once it was cleaned out the issue went away.
Thank you for the info and commenting!
There should be no smoke coming out the door.
With a coal bed and loading wood in how do you not get smoke rolling out while the door and bypass are open?
@@back30 I mean when it is closed.
Yes, I have the 560. Smoke should not come out door when closed. Either door gasket is not sealing, or slots in bottom of firebox are plugged off over pressuring fire box pushing smoke out the door. If you hear pressure pulsing when blower is on the slots in bottom of firebox to reaction chamber are plugged.
Thank you for the info. I'll check on it next fill.
Greetings from Croatia.someting is not right with that boiler
Your door is leaking. You need to replace the seal or tighten it
Thanks for the comment, I did tighten it after the video. My dealer saw the video and called me.
Looks like you need a new seal around the door. smoke should not come out.
I just found out yesterday there are adjustments on the hinges to tighten the seal. It no longer leaks once I tightened it.
hi there interesting i have a tea pot (boiler ) for over 25 years now . , i found i get a lot more heat from dry wood , maybe you have seen it john
in addition to the dealer mentioning the door gasket did he say anything about the flame shotting out of the ash door ?
Hi Scott, yes. It was from ash buildup in the wood chamber clogging the gasification slots on the bottom.
