I have this exact unit and it is a god send if you have a wife or kids that have to fill the unit while you are away hit the button load light and forget it set your thermostat to desired heat. Great videos keep ‘em coming like this!
Thanks for taking the time to do these. Lots of helpful tips in an efficient video.
Plus, pleasant to look at
Excellent presentation. I just got a Drolet Blackcomb II . Turns out the expensive part will be having it installed. Plus, it's not easy to get a hearth pad. I'm ditching my pellet stove. Worried about the Grid
The main reason for the left hand clearance being bigger is mainly for access room for maintenance
Very nice video 📸 love 💕😘 from Islamabad Pakistan.
When you did the plenum temperature reading, was the furnace in reload mode or was it in full burn mode? Great information on it!
GOD bless
There isnt a blower to get the fire going all that happens is the unit opens the primary and secondary dampers all the way and doesn't let the distribution blower to kick on for 15 minutes to prevent any negative pressure for smoke intrusion when the loading door is open
Great idea on the blow torch to get the stove started... Im jusst glad i dont have an EPA rated stove.. they really messed up stoves by getting into that
I felt the same way until I put an epa fireplace insert in. Drolet 1800. I was used to older style stoves. Bigger is better. Well, this thing will cook you out!! It’s hard to explain unless you’ve actually used one, but I promise you, it puts out way more heat. Watching the smoke burn like plasma is beautiful. People hate them for two reasons. 1- they have never seen or used one. 2- they require dry wood, meaning actually seasoned properly, not cut the oak and burn 6 months later ( oak takes 2 years min) anyways, if you tried one you’d love it. Oh, one more thing. When they rate the epa stoves for the footage it can heat? That’s real. Do not oversize.
@@brockbaker3able dont always have dry wood on hand. I live on 14 acres.. but just moved here. I burn what was stacked in the barn. And stacked more wood the following year.. but i aint waiting 2 years. Nore paying propane costs to heat.. nore paying ppl to deliver wood.. so i burn it wet or not.
@@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305have fun basically wasting that wood
@@denverbasshead 14 acres of wood unlimited basically i dont mind. The stove burns great
@@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305 if you say so, the reburn tubes are not a bad thing in new stoves. Plus you can make your own out of steel pipe if needed
I had a question about the installation of the thermostat. I didn't notice any specific red or white labeling for the terminals and the instructions just said to attach the thermostat wire to the terminals. Is there a right or wrong way of connecting the red and white wires? Thanks
Please refer to the wire diagram inside the owners manual.
@@ObadiahsWoodstovesTroy the company let me know that it's neutral and it doesn't matter which wire goes where. Thanks for replying I hope this question helps others as well.
Does this wood stove have a secondary burner or a catalyst? Thanks.
No catalytic converter, but I believe a 3 burn chambers
My cousin had a separate wood burning furnace installed in a new house as a backup in 1990. When they had a blizzard 3 years later and lost electricity and gas they went to fire up the wood furnace and it wouldn’t work because the blower on it required electricity in order to work (which defeated the purpose) Has that been corrected in the past 30 years? Boy, were they mad, all that extra money for nothing.
Furnaces require electricity because the blower system pushes the air throughout the ductwork. Without the blower functioning, too much heat gets trapped and you run the risk to overfire the furnace. So while all the new furnaces will automatically damper themselves down, you cannot operate them without electricity.
@@ObadiahsWoodstovesTroy Thank you for answering my question. - So in a grid down situation it wouldn’t be a benefit to have one of these.
Actually, most stoves and furnaces you absolutely can use without power. They either set themselves into the lowest burn to prevent overfire, or the manual tells you to set it to the lowest setting. You won’t get max heat but gravity will get the heat to you
I have one of these and I had a factory defect with the control board and the guy at sbi said as long as the ducting is correct it it safe to run without power safely as long as you load it half full which kept my house between 65 and 68 with average outdoor temps in the low 20s high teens
Should have just lit it manually. The website says to rip the fan compartment out and light the fire. Personally I'd just have a second stove or fireplace or use the stoves with forced air if it's the primary emergency heat
