i also live in mid coast Maine, same stove.4th season , i shorten my temp differential in warmer weather to maintain ash bed., 180/175 , it also solves the wet wood issue, when my supply is less than optimal. heating house, domestic hot water and a 2 car detached garage. love this stove so far, great videos
@@vitalsigncompany That's great that you have had good luck with your stove. Definitely a learning curve at first, but worth learning. Thanks for watching
When it started working well, the ash pan was building up, heating the water in 90 degree weather is really difficult, and I set a 3 degree differential. I have an ash drawer in my mp, and since I burn mostly thicket trash; I get a lot of ash. Good for my garden. Great vid, love seeing the difference between the E and the MP.
Excellent video. I just installed a 7400e at my new house and will be doing the initial break in of the firebox and full on commissioning of the unit this weekend. We will be heating DHW and radiant floor heat for 3700 square feet of house and 1000 square feet of garage, for now... Soon we will build a big shop to heat as well. It was nice to see what kind of cleanup is required.
Nice! So far we are very happy with our unit. I am glad my installer told me the first fire is supposed to be built slowly to cure the brick. Thanks for watching!
I’m looking at new Wood boilers. I don’t like the movable turbulators on this Crown Royal. I don’t want anything that I’m going to have to work on when they wear out over time. It doesn’t look like fun getting in there to work on it. I’m looking at the Central boiler classic edge titanium HDX. I also like that I can put not fully seasoned wood in it. I currently have an old Central boiler that only uses a damper, no fan but I go through a lot of wood. I’ve had really good luck with them so probably will go with them again but go with the titanium so I use half of the wood.
@@mainerdiy8399 thanks bud, yeah I don’t mean to scare you. I’m an industrial maintenance guy. When I see stuff like that I’m like nope! Lol. Hopefully I’m wrong. 😉
Hey Jared, mainly what drew me to the Crown Royal is because I knew the installer, and also as much as the bells and whistles on the CB seem nice, in my mind that is just more things to fail. With the CR 7300e, there is an aquastat, 1 fan, 1 solenoid, and 1 circulator pump. As far as I can tell they are mosy all solid units, just personal preference. I am not familiar with the 560, is that a gasifier unit? Thanks for watching and commenting!
Our final cost will be $7,500 after tax credits and rebates. Your mileage may vary depending on the state you live in. Checking with your local dealer would be the best. Thanks for watching!
There wasn't onr until about a year ago I think. He used to sell Heatmor boilers. My understanding is they stopped making boilers so they switched to these. So far it seems more efficient than the Heatmor's. How do you like your 760 hdx?
I believe you can adjust that. I saw something about it in the manual. That's a good idea for the shoulder seasons when the demand is not as high. Thanks for watching!
The outdoor wood boiler does need 120v AC. It is wired from my existing oil boiler system. The outdoor boiler has a circulator pump, blower fan, and a control board that needs electricity. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
They do require electricity, but with the pumps they use, and the blower fans they use, I'd be surprise if the lightbulb on the front of the unit wasn't the highest power draw on the whole unit.
