[@fricknjeep]

hi just a thought when thinking of were to place it ,keep in mind witch way the the winter prevailing wind direction is , you don't want the exhaust blowing towards the house .on the shirt thing i will have to check some videos we had your shirt hanging up in the back wall of the tent .so ohio may be covered . john

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Awesome, yes I hadn’t thought about the winds. We live in the middle of the woods so we don’t get much wind but I will definitely take that into consideration!

[@Mark-Marine]

I have experience with several different boilers - enough to tell you that you came out pretty good. Great job, son. Rachel, goodness girl you look younger every time I see you! Simply pretty as the morning. Love you both

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thank you Mark! Rachel is amazing, no one believes she has 4 kids especially 2 in college! Hope you’re feeling better! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@bigbluegpr]

Great score on the boiler Holden!! That'll keep the Bunny 🐰warm and toasty all winter! Tip: If you have a slaughterhouse nearby, see if you can have their large bones like cow lemurs. Those will burn a long time just like a big chunk of wood.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks for the tip, no slaughterhouse near bye though. I’m looking forward to getting it hooked up and running.

[@heymakerphd1982]

Nice planning! Not everyone would think ahead far enough to have some plumbers built into the family! I love the idea that you're using all the waste of the woodyard to help with the house utilities!! My dream. Wish I still had your youthful energy! I hope it's as solid and reliable as you expect. Most of the woodyard videoistas just dump all that potential energy into a mudhole. That's a shame! Your way is a better example! One of the local guys uses bundles of slabwood, cuts it in half, puts in half a bundle at once. Amazing, to me! Takes care of a LOT of waste!

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thank you, this will definitely be a huge help in getting the most out of our wood and keeping the Woodyard cleaned up.

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great video Heath and Rachel

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thank you!

[@clarencerobey3138]

You will not regret this purchase. I purchased a used central boiler in 05 for 3500 with underground pipe and heat exchanger. I used it for 10 years and sold it for 5000 . I replaced it with a bigger new unit. Since 05 I have used 3 fills of propane. I love my boiler I still cut my own firewood at 71 years old. A cement pad would be my suggestion for stability and cleanup around stove.

[@joeahopelto8032]

Concrete pad definitely.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thank you Clarence, I definitely think the concrete pad will be the way to go! Can’t wait to get it up and running.

Looks like the same kind that Back 40 Firewood has. Love watching your channel you and Rachel seem like great people

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

James, she could hardly contain her joy! I think I’ve impressed her so much recently with great marketplace finds she’s getting better at handling it! I’m afraid I’ve set the bar pretty high for myself lol.

[@ssprofirewood]

Great find, Heath and Rachel!! You are going to love it. I am in the process of installing our boiler. I put ours on 3" by 8" by 16" concrete blocks. We are in the process of burying the pipe, and then I just need to make the connections. Congratulations on your purchase, and good luck on getting it connected. Take care!

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thank you, good luck with yours too! I think we’ll really like it.

[@clarencedobsonjr.2585]

You will have hotter water when you are done doing laundry or showering. Loved our system we had before we moved to Michigan. Had it Idling on slab wood from my woodmiser during the summer months. Rachel will really like unlimited hot water

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thank you, I was wondering about keeping it going for hot water all summer. We have access to a lot of debris and second grade wood to run it.

[@garylaszewski7380]

I have always admired the OWB wood boilers. The Central Boiler dealer once told me: "you buy an OWB for quality of life": ---almost unlimited heat; easy to control the heat...unlike hard to control wood furnaces and wood stoves; ---safe from burning up your house, since its outside; insurance companies like that feature! All the smoke is outside, not inside your house compared to wood furnaces and wood stoves which are generally inside your house. No more chimney fires! ---all the bugs in the wood you burn are outside...not inside crawling around your house. You dont store wood in your house. No more broken basement windows from throwing wood into the basement! ---all the wood you burn is outside (not inside your house). You avoid the mold, dust and dirt being inside your house. Compared to wood stoves and wood furnaces, this is a big improvement to "quality of life". Granted: ---OWB's cost more money to buy, run and install, compared to wood furnaces and wood stoves. And, you have to go outside to load wood, about 2 times per day in the winter. ---they can be "smokey", unless you have an EPA rated OWB. If you have "real close neighbors" they will likely complain about the smoke? Our house is super efficient and somewhat small. Therefore, we presently mainly burn natural gas, and occasionally burn the wood furnace and/or wood stove for ambiance.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

We are definitely looking forward to getting it up and running. We’ll still burn in our insert some but it will be nice to not have to. I’ve always wanted one! A lot of positives to them for sure.

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Thanks Robert, and yea I love it. I even wore it with a suit the other day to a friends hotel grand opening! We’re knocking some states off the list.

[@kevinyoung6353]

I would suggest to pour a pad & raise the furnace so you don't have to bend down when loading & cleaning it

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks Kevin, definitely planning on an oversized concrete pad after all of the feedback. Raising it up will be something I look into as well.

[@jerrywayneray]

I SO love your honesty! The regin is why I purchased a Mahindra tractor- it has no regin. Also, 30+ years ago I purchased a Hardy outdoor boiler, love it! This is why I 1st got into Firewood. I purchased a cheap Walmart splitter, used it a few years, then moved up to a Timberwolf. Last year, I finally got the Eastonmade 22/28 Beast :). Honesty, this is why I love your channel. Yall are honest, funny, and have great content. I'm going to get a HWM shirt- to add my home state North Carolina !

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks Jerry, the re gen always happens at the worst time! Looking forward to the boiler being up and running. Shoot me an e-mail [e-mail]

[@thomaslapp6029]

Great buy. One thing i would do is lift the furnace up on a pad so that the door is higher, it will make a difference when you load the wood into the furnace, both from a smoke in your face perspective and bending over. I regret that i did not do that when i bought mine. It really does not matter what you use for a base, i would recommend a concrete pad. I have a Classic outdoor wood furnace since 1995, it is still being used as our main source of heat in the winter. Still going strong!

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks Thomas, that is a great tip and I’m definitely going to look into raising it up!

[@southin47639]

I highly recommend buying the insulated underground pex hose. Its rather expensive, but money well spent. The less heat loss from the boiler to the house, the quicker the recovery. Good find!

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thank you, I’ll definitely be buying quality underground piping. Do it right or do it twice.

[@danwilliams6830]

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks Dan. I think I impress her so often with my great finds she’s learned to temper her excitement lol.

[@DaleFarrish]

Hi Heath and Rachel, I've bought a couple of used OWB's before and have had decent luck with them. I would suggest that you remove all the tinwork , remove all the old insulation and install new Roxul fire proof insulation Then reinstall the tinwork. As you can see in the back door it's in bad shape and you will be losing lots of heat. I also prefer to have my pump inside the house/ basement so that insulation can be put in that whole cavity. There is a rigid Rolux type insulation board called Comfort Board that you could cut to size to fit in there. I used steel studding to build around the legs and insulated it also. This really helps to keep the snow from melting around the unit which makes a mess. My OWB has a 24"x 24" door and is 54" deep. I cut my rounds to 32" long and split small enough them so my wife can load them. Branches are cut 48" long and not split. Easier to stack and less cutting. We also burn almost everything on ours. We have a bandmill so use up slabs too.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Dale, thanks for the tips. I may have to do some of this next year. I want to try to get it up and running to make sure it’s going to work well before completely re doing it but will definitely look into it once it proves itself!

[@McKameyFarms]

That's a score. Now you just have to convince Rachel to let you have a 20-ft conex container to turn into a firewood kiln that you can run off that as well as the house😅

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Now that would be awesome! This unit does have 2 separate pumps 🤔

[@garylaszewski7380]

Definitely a concrete pad. Last thing you want is this thing heaving in the winter. Robert has a great channel and makes very nice stuff. And, regen sucks the big one. Kenny

Thanks Kenny, I agree with all of your points, definitely planning on a pad and Robert’s belt is awesome. I hate the regen!!!!

[@a.l.l.firewood8883]

I recommend a plate exchanger for your hot water, it’s pretty much like hot water on demand

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thank you, I did get 2 plate exchangers with it. My brothers have a decent amount of experience with them so hopefully they can come out and help me get it going!

[@jonrussell1122]

I would go along with most comments about pouring a concrete slab for the outdoor boiler. Don't forget to bury some electric wires to the unit for the blower and pumps.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks Jon, the slab definitely seems to be the way to go. Good point on remembering the wires.

[@williammowery-pj7gu]

You got a great deal Heath, sure gonna keep the woodyard tidy swallowing up all the scraps and oddballs. Looks like your as Happy as a Puppy with two peters! A concrete slab large enough to also hold a few totes would be nice and easy to keep clean. The spiral bars are probably to slow down the exhaust for better heat transfer. Rachel may now develop a taste for cold beer as she enjoys those unlimited hot baths😂🇺🇸

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks Mike, I’m definitely looking forward to getting the boiler installed. Not sure Rachel will go for the cold beers but a nice glass of wine with her baths is speaking her language. It sounds like an oversized pad is the way to go for sure.

Missouri is taken care of with my channel and I would say concrete pad for that outdoor wood burner that’s what we use and it’s easy to clean up the bark and scraps around it with a shovel or dustpan and broom rather than fight gravel or you could also just take your Milwaukee M 18 blower and blow it into the woods since you’re less than 10 feet away from it

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks Lucas! How are you liking the new Trax dolly? Definitely planning on going with a pad after all of the comments.

[@craigwilson9560]

Heath, you got a heck of a deal. The spiral pieces are cleaners for the heat exchanger tubes. The cleaner they are the more efficient it will be. I would pour a footing first and then a pad. Make the pad bigger. Just in case you want to upgrade the boiler. No 2 boilers are alike. Please get Rehau, logstor, or Thermopex pipe. It is expensive, but you wont be doing it twice. Do not use the wrapped insulated pipe. I would run a waterline out to the boiler to fill it because of it getting low. Some people put an extra outlet out. One thing to keep in mind is a generator if power goes out to keep it circulating and from freezing. Enjoy the long hot showers Rachel and a cleaner/tidy wood yard.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks Craig, a lot of great points. Definitely planning on the quality underground lines. I’ll talk to my brothers about running a water line as well.

[@craigwilson9560]

You are welcome. If you need anything i know 3 guys that are pretty knowledgeable with outdoorwood boilers. They install them, service them in their area and always have good advice. Glad to hear your not skipping out on the good pipe like most do. Then they hear told ya so when your heating the ground due to water getting in the cheaper price. One thing i forgot to add is when doing electric, an outdoor light helps espexially if there is problem. Keep up on your PH. And due to your coldness, maybe look into Glycol. Wosh you the very best and look forward to seeing it on the channel.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

@@craigwilson9560 thanks again!

[@DaleFarrish]

craig, Instead of another water line out to my owb I just installed a Tee in my basement return line so all I have to do is turn the tap on a little then go outside to watch for it to come out the over flow. This allows the warn to warm before it hits the owb .

[@dirtfarmer3891]

Wow, Heath and Rachel! The network of advice on the comments is awesome! Since I live in “No Trees Texas”, my first idea may sound wild: Could you place wood inside a gasification chamber inside the wood burner to make bio-char? Bio-char is crazy expensive to buy. -Jack

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Jack, yes it is! A lot of knowledge out there on these boilers. I imagine we could make biochar in it but the door isn’t real big so our container would have to be somewhat limited in size. That being said, don’t miss tomorrow’s video!

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

[@BertsCustomCuts]

Best advice I can give you is put it so the wind doesnt blow smoke toards house and dry wood is definately better than wet wood. Wet wood takes alot of heat to dry it out and makes alot of creosote whick will plug the chimney. Dont run it with cap on chimney just cover it with a pail in the non burning season to keep birds and water out. Make sure to put agua stat to turn on furnace fan if water temp gets too high when not enough demand is there and you accidentally over fire in warmer weather.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks Bert, a lot of great tips! I have some learning to do. Luckily my brothers have a decent amount of experience with them. As far as wind goes we should be pretty good, we live in the middle of the woods so we don’t get much wind to the house at all which is nice except for my wood drying yard. We have plenty of dry but not top quality wood we can feed it.

[@WoodysRTBFirewood]

Hello Heath And rachel, I think you got one hell of a deal there with a little bit of labour you’ll have that thing up and running before you know it and I think it’ll service you very well for years to come and save you a ton of money on propane and it’ll help get rid of a lot of scraps. Cheers Woody !!!

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks Woody, I think so as well! Now to make the time to get it installed.

[@wollybooger]

You got a good deal, you are down to the wire to get it installed before freezing weather... Don't go cheap on the insulated lines to your house... When you run your lines underground also add a cat 5 ethernet cable it will come in handy for a monitoring system later... Crimp all pex fittings (don't rely on sharkbite). Water quality will be a whole new learning experience, boilers rust from the inside out due do poor water quality... Well water is a boiler's worst enemy if not treated & maintained properly...

Thanks William, we’ve received a lot of great feedback and definitely plan on doing an oversized slab now for the permanent installation.

[@edfeldpausch7169]

I've had a boiler for 15 yrs. You definately want a perfectly level concrete slab. It's important to keep the reservoir tank level. 4 ft. Deep for the insolated pipe. If you don't you'll be heating the yard to keep the worms warm. You lose alot of efficiency if you don't go to 4 ft. Let me know if you need help I'm only 1.5 to 2 hrs away.😂

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks Ed! Hoping to get this thing installed soon!

[@edfeldpausch7169]

You may want to think about a block wall around the parameter of the slab. To close in the bottom of the stove.leaving your pipe exposed between the bottom of the stove and where it enters the ground is another problem with that style of stove. Alot of customers of that style stove will stack straw bales around the bottom of only to have the bales catch fire. If you do the install correctly you will love this stove for years.

We have thought about an outdoor boiler, but the smallest ones I could find are over twice the heat we need for the house. Not a bad deal for you though.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thank you, we’ll keep everyone posted on how it goes and how we like it.

[@stevo333]

That is awesome to have tho!

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks, I think it’ll be a perfect addition!

[@dmalloy96]

I just bought a new one for 8000 so you got a deal the pipe to run in the house really cost a lot around here

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

The new ones aren’t cheap! The lines have gone up quite a bit in price over the last few years like a lot of things. Luckily I shouldn’t need too much of it.

[@carysmith9039]

If you need another one I have a central bioler

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

The central boilers definitely seem to be popular!

[@johnwoody4905]

Good video I think you got a good deal. I have a older wood master than that I run it year round to heat water much cheaper than water heater. I have had to rebuilt door and replaced blower and pumps. Mine is on cement blocks but a slab would be better. The regim and feed fuel is nothing but a waste and mess people have been burned alive because of it. There is a guy that can delete it and your tractors will have more power and burn less fuel. I am never buying anything with that crap on it take care be safe and well

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks, we plan on running it all year for water as well. I’ve been burned by the exhaust during regen before, it gets so hot! I hate it!

Before I sold my acreage, I was looking at a wood boiler to help heat my pool.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I’ve wanted one for a while and couldn’t pass this one up.

Put your wood stove on a cement pad

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

That’s definitely the plan after all of the feedback!

What keeps the water line for freezing. Do you have to keep it running continually in subzero temps?

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Jeff, I believe you do if you use water. I guess some people run some type of antifreeze. I’m still learning.

Don’t be a fool for what ur in it for pour ur self a huge pad for dog house and extra room for staging wood. Plus u know ur gonna build a shed roof over it To in future. Nobody wants fill it in super cold rain.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

That definitely seems like the way to go! Planning on an oversized pad and a roof down the road.

[@GlenKent-n8n]

Great deal. I have been involved with both set ups. I prefer a pad of concrete. No settling to worry about. I personally suggest you build a pad at least twice the size you think you want. Do not put the boiler on the edge. The reason is if you ever decide to upgrade the hoses almost certainly will not line up. A larger pad with at least 4 to 6 feet away from the edge of the pad will usually provide enough room for an upgrade. The other reason is cleaning and loading. It makes a muddy mess. Also you may at some point down the road may wish to put a shed over it. I hope you get after this project fast. It is not all that good for the boiler to set empty for long. Those spiral pieces are to help you clean those tubes. The tubes themselves are the heat exchanger. Keeping the tubes cleaned out will greatly effect the efficiency of your boiler. Great content keep it up. An afterthought. Make sure your home is on the up wind side of your prevailing wind.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thank you for the advice! I’m trying to get everything lined up now. These comments are extremely helpful!

Use the pad. It will make your life easier

No more selling wood you be busy sawing splitting wood keep this thing going lol

Dan, I think we’ll be good with all of the seconds as well as the half punky ash we have in the woods that I’d probably otherwise leave there. We’ll see how it goes.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks Jeff!

[@kentcorbett5436]

First of all, will you stop stealing stuff? LOL? That's a hell of a deal on that unit's even color matched to your housecondly hook me up with a hardware, a man teacher, and we'll have one in Nova Scotia, Canada. Thirdly, do not set that on gravel with the water in it. When the ground throws, the legs will sink into the ground. You wanna set it up list on the 24 by 2 foot by 6 inch reinforced concrete blocks. Or better yet, pour a small cement pad. I would pour your cement pad. At least a couple feet bigger all the way around the dimensions of the furnace. To make for easy, clean up, Tina Chaplin's known or whatever. Thirdly, an eventually, it would be nice if you built like a little. Rooftop over top of that keeps the snow away and you don't have to shovel. Snow to get to your furnace. We have hours at my shop stuck in the side of a building. Which is my wood shed mine? Is the next size bigger and I heat my 40 by 210. For building with what's about 12 qt popple That's all I burn. And they built them here in Canada as well. Minus the Empire brand. And the ones that were made to burn pellets also burned. Hey, biomass product, they even had them geared up to burn coal. Now the one that I seen appear had turntable inside. For when you're burning pellets and a hopper just kept feeding. The palette's in on to this turntable. And the turntable turned and grinded the palettes to adopt, which was then burnt in a combustion chamber. Good, pick up for yourself. Can't wait to see you hook it up.❤

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thank you, I definitely plan on going with a cement pad for the permanent install and would love to add a roof at some point. I agree, I definitely think I got a great deal on it.
