Central Boiler NOT!
If you buy a Central Boiler don't count on the warranty. Whatever happens will be your fault. I have one I know. You will be talked down to as if you are a complete idiot. Anything that goes wrong with it will be your fault. Mine was for burning trash but green wood. I will be replacing it with one with heavy round firebox. Good boilers have always been made from heavy steel "boiler plate". I am only angry at myself for not doing better research before I purchased. I was able to patch this one up to get through the winter but I doubt it will go much longer. I recommend having plenty of boiler cement on hand for your CB. Maybe just go ahead and coat the whole firebox and door frame before you build the first fire. I think it sticks better on a clean surface. The only positive thing I can say about them is the dealer I located in Washington is a real good guy and tried to help. Please do a better job of research than I did before you buy. Good luck!
Hello all,
I have been lurking for a while on this site and trying to gather all the info I can. I am wondering to all those who have installed an OWB, do you give any consideration to the prevailing wind when setting the unit? My question is not really concerning the smoke, but in regards to the OWB door placement. My current plan is to buy a CB 5036. Thanks in advance for all replies.
