2019 Crown Royal 7300E Wood Furnace Cleaning Process

This video covers all of the cleaning steps required for weekly to yearly items for my Crown Royal Wood Furnace.

Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the video again. Watched it twice

[@DanielFarmChannel]

A note to all, the newer E series don't have the little tube in the back that goes from the inlet to the bottom. If your stove came with the raised ceramic (triangle shape) then yours will not have that tube.

Good review it’s nice to see that every owb has their own issues since everyone is so biased towards what brand to buy!!!

[@charlesshunk6015]

When cleaning the back I bought one of those small shovels that you get to clean inside wood stoves. It works good for getting most of the corners and under the turbulaters.

[@traviscoe9937]

Thank you for your videos! Still enjoying the 7300e? Have really debated buying this model

[@DanielFarmChannel]

I still generally like the E, but I'm pretty impressed with the MP. I'm not looking forward to replacing the ceramic already.

[@jeremygeorges6568]

If you pull your turbulator clean handle out 10" or so you can fully clean from front and clean fully in rear, puts the turbulators so the tool can get under them.

[@DanielFarmChannel]

I'll try that next time. Thanks for the tip!

[@jorrick66]

Have you thought about a metal shop vac to suck the ash out of those rear turbulator housings?

[@DanielFarmChannel]

So your comment finally motivated me to run a few searches online. Apparently they have true "ash" vacuums that are designed to pick up warm ash (up to ~115 F). I will probably break down and buy one soon. It would make cleaning out the back easy. I probably wouldn't deal with scraping it out the bottom in the back. Just suck it up and go dump it. Thanks for viewing.

@@DanielFarmChannel glad I could be of some assistance. Thanks for the content!

[@hubster4477]

I know other boiler people say that theirs run all winter. so how do they clean them? I never realized you had to shut it down once a week.

[@DanielFarmChannel]

Rarely do I ever shut it down, and if I do it's for a very short period. I typically just catch it between run cycles and closer to the next cycle when it has had time to cool down a bit. Effectively then, it's not really shut down. I just wouldn't want to clean it within 45 minutes of when it last cycled. Hopefully that made sense. Let me know if you need further explanation.

[@glenmccarty3622]

hi Daniel, I was reading over my user manual for my 7300E and it says to lubricate the fan. How? also says to oil blower motor bushings. How? I also have creosote build up under the air intake plate and not sure how to scrape that out. It is very hard to get to. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

[@DanielFarmChannel]

That's interesting. I'll have to go back and see if it says to lubricate or oil anything on mine. Not sure what to tell you on that. How old is your stove? The air intake box on the newer one unbolt to give you direct access. Mine didn't have that. I remove the damper plate and scrap out what I can. I need to create a tool that can go in at an angle to reach far back. Just haven't yet. Otherwise you have to go in from the front with the plates removed. Good luck, sorry I can't help more.

[@glenmccarty3622]

Thank you for the quick response. It's a 2021, so this is my 3rd year. Still figuring it out. You did help. I'll remove the plate and at least get as much as I can. HAPPY NEW YEAR! Stay warm.@@DanielFarmChannel

Setting that concrete block in the snow FORSURE will send cracks through it

[@DanielFarmChannel]

It's not concrete, at least not on the outside. The shell/ outside is metal.

[@cheffsolo7739]

Great video . So the bungee-cord cord holes up to the heat ,and his kid safe?

[@DanielFarmChannel]

Yes. You don't feel any heat from the outside doors. They are insulated well so the strap isn't an issue. Like I said, I don't think it's effective in holding the handle in, but it's better than nothing.

[@joshblick]

Cheff Solo, If the 2 year old is running around in the snow, in the winter, unattended, and outside, I don't think playing with the door is the big issue.

[@eloymarquez4783]

@@joshblick yeah, and at the same time, it only takes a few seconds for a kid to say, let me do what daddy does!!!

[@joshblick]

@@eloymarquez4783 and that's how you learn NOT to touch a hot door.

[@eloymarquez4783]

@@joshblick except that a burned hand is the least of the concerns. As Daniel mentions, the bottom door is insulated so you will not get burn by touching the door. If you pay close attention to the operation of a wood gasifier boiler, you will understand that that behind that door you will find the gasification chamber, which operates at 2,000 F or higher temperatures. If you were to open that door while the furnace is operating (i.e. fan is running), there will be a jet stream of 2,000 F gas directed towards you. At that temperature you are looking at serious burns and possibly death, specially for a little toddler. While these boilers are not rocket science, they are still hard to comprehend for a lot of folks.

Some design improvement potential..

[@DanielFarmChannel]

Yea, but the more I think about it the more a nice shop vac would make it much simpler. In the back I would just suck out the top and bottom and move on. That is probably what I will do soon. The front is pretty easy. Cleaning that inner tube is a rarity and isn't a big deal.
