    Mine is same way. Should be a washer there that closes the gap. My door would not shut and had to replace the pins. See if SBI will send you a new door and pins do you covered either way.

    Introducing Brand New Wood Furnace to Market - The Drolet Tundra!

    Makes more sense now. Temps with a coal bed was 350, same as yesterday. Temp in the house was fine yesterday. Today it's a lot colder. That with the air infiltration it was not producing enough heat. With a full load of wood the flue temperature is 700. The Higher the flue temperature the...

    Introducing Brand New Wood Furnace to Market - The Drolet Tundra!

    Ok so I spoke too soon? I came home today and had half of the firebox full of coals. I should have taken a picture. The damper was wide open and the house was 64. The draft readings at that time was .04-.05. After extending my chimney to 22 feet my draft has increased to .08 at the peek of...

    so far 1.5 to just under 2. so same as you.we have two weeks where the temperature was around 40 I'm going to drop back down to 10 degrees. having extreme temperature change in a short period time really shows the contrast of the amount of wood that's used when its cold or warm.where we are...

    Introducing Brand New Wood Furnace to Market - The Drolet Tundra!

    I decided to add two more sections of chimney making it a total of 22 feet. my draft has increased from .04-.05 to .05-.08 depending on where you are in the burn cycle or if the damper is open or closed. When the damper is open and the unit is burning a full load of wood, my draft is .07-.08...

    vermicumite......that's what I was thinking of. I will have to look into c-cast. Changing the baffle is a pain. Which do you have? how is it holding up?

    Introducing Brand New Wood Furnace to Market - The Drolet Tundra!

    I did not know that. What is c-cast. Same as whats in the tundra? I may still check a fabrication shop and give them the information you just gave. They would know if there is anything out there that may not warp. If you go thick enough it should not be a problem. But try installing a 4"...

    How old was the ash? Did he say why? It may be that they just don't recommend modifying it at all. But they are the same manufacture as the caddy. So if the caddy has it and the tundra does not, then it was just a cost savings thing.

    Introducing Brand New Wood Furnace to Market - The Drolet Tundra!

    You asking me, flotek, or everyone? Not sure if you meant the fan snap disk. I replaced mine with an adjustable. I can try to find the part number if you need it. Coals have been less of an issue the last few days. It has been warmer out so not sure if that is helping. I did notice the...

    Introducing Brand New Wood Furnace to Market - The Drolet Tundra!

    I had problems with mine the 2nd season and needed to be replaced. I noticed surface rust inside the firebox at the start of the season. I think that this would have an effect on the temperature sensors in the unit due to the moisture. I will be disconnecting the stove pipe at the end of the...

    Introducing Brand New Wood Furnace to Market - The Drolet Tundra!

    that was with warm coals and the damper shut. I did change the snap disk to adjustable. I now have it set at 115 and get much more heat from the furnace when it is shut down. Not sure what type of wood I have other then its hard wood. No ash, very little birch. Still happens when a new...

    Introducing Brand New Wood Furnace to Market - The Drolet Tundra!

    I do pull the coals forward. Not enough heat even with a 10" bed of coal. When trying to burn down with a piece of wood across the top, I get heat but the wood turns to coals fast and just adds to the coal bed. Or at least I dont see it getting much smaller after a few times. This is what...

    Introducing Brand New Wood Furnace to Market - The Drolet Tundra!

    The problem I found was that the coal bead is very thick even when I start with an empty stove. At that point the house is dropping temperature and the furnace fan will not kick in. However, now that I increased the static pressure it seems the fan is turning on more when there is a coal bed...

    Introducing Brand New Wood Furnace to Market - The Drolet Tundra!

    I dont have anything to split the wood with since I am not allowed around sharp objects. I cause too much self injury...lol. The manometer I have does not permanently attach so it is not attached to the flue. I just drill a hole and put the rubber tube in. But when I retest I do reset the...
