How To Change A Door Seal On A Outdoor Wood Boiler.

[@Hfoutdoorsyt]

The Gunk worked great 👍 good job Jay!

[@HomesteadJay]

Hank! It sprays real nice! Very powerful, I am impressed with it! Thanks for watching!

[@jamesb972]

Easy enough. Been four years obviously, but new outdoor boiler user and definitely appreciate it.

[@TrapDaddy65]

Appreciate this. We bought a house last fall with an outdoor boiler. I need to change the gasket before firing it up this year.

[@LatePlay33]

I thought the respirator was a little bit of overkill, until I started grinding on my door and after a few minutes gave up and got a mask. Great step by step, thanks.

[@HomesteadJay]

Oh yes the stuff is nasty! Need to be safe for sure!

[@skinny4070]

Perfect. Exactly what i needed

Sorry for the late reply! Thank you for tuning in! Hope you had a great holiday week!

[@Three-leggedRanch]

Great video!! Two tongue in cheek comments. 1.) Its a good thing you had a clean shirt on as we looked "over you shoulder". 2. As a "follicularly challenged" (balding) guy, I couldn't help but notice all your hair on the back and top of your head!! I love your videos. They are informative and so real!! Keep it up, dude!! :-)

[@HomesteadJay]

SEK! HAHAH! I was doing the edit like "Dam I messed that up LOL" glad you got to examine my head haha. I am glad you enjoy the videos I love creating them and its awesome to know people genuinely enjoy it! Appreciate the positivity as always!

[@alanross3435]

Thanks for the instructional video Jay!👍🏻 Now I know how to do my wood stove when the time comes. ✌🏻️

[@HomesteadJay]

Alan! The owner of the stove shop where I got the seal kit from said it was the same process for a wood stove so thats why I decided to post it as a OWB/Woodstove install! Glad you enjoyed!

[@LouisianaTractorworks]

Nicely done Jay! That sure help a lot . Have a good week!!

[@HomesteadJay]

I sure hope so! More efficient means less wood used!

[@joedorsey2600]

Great video man. Did Great job explaining things. Thanks

[@HomesteadJay]

Glad I could help!

[@stephenrhodesianridgeback7418]

Looks same as my fire place insert . Good too know how too do .👍 Being in the house I guess I would be best too take too shop for cleaning and fitting .

[@HomesteadJay]

Stephen! Thanks for coming by! Yes I wouldnt go cleaning it in your home LOL you see the cloud of creosote/ash come off when I had the orbital disk going lol it was wild! Nasty stuff! Thanks for watching!

[@1811bruce]

Hello Jay. That looks like a simple little job. I will probably do mine next year. I have a Hardy H2 wood heater. I installed it in 2008 also. It does a good job. Just wish I had went with the H4 heater because it would be able to hold more and bigger wood. There are a lot of options out there now to pick from. Your heater looks good to me. Catch you later buddy. Oh, by the way I like your shirt!

[@HomesteadJay]

Bruce! Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for sharing what model burner you have I was always curious! There are a ton of options out there now but im biased to central boiler, ive seen all the models in person and we have a local stove shop that sells them so parts and questions are right down the road lol. Glad you like the shirt lol im getting mixed reviews HAHA! See you on the next one! Hope the wife is doing ok! God Bless!

[@Bizarreparade]

Bigger wood

[@Loveus00]

Thank you for this nice instructional video. Would if you need to do this replacement while door is hot? Seems I need to replace it at the moment.

[@HomesteadJay]

Hmmm good question. If you have no choice but to do now while it’s heating season I don’t think that would be an issue. I’d let the machine burn down a bit maybe to like 150 degrees and keep a small fire going in way back when you do it. Keep in mind with the door open your fire is uncontrollable so I’d have almost no wood in there when you do this in case you run into any issues you don’t want the temp to exceed 185 by any means.

[@tclodfelter8789]

Going through the same thing now. The bottom latch wasn't closing and it let the fire/heat get out of control which prevented the damper door from opening to allow it to heat inside the house. I had to shut it down inside and outside and run the propane furnace. The water temp was 225 and it was boiling out the top!! Just got it cleaned with a wire wheel before it started raining. Luckily the weather is decent and I don't NEED to burn right now!!

[@HomesteadJay]

Hmm its hard to tell via comment whats going on. Send me an email with some photos and I can try to help. [e-mail]

[@luvdogsandhorses]

A few suggestions: After applying the silicone and pressing the gasket in uniformly to adhere Let the silicone cure Most doors that I encounter, which is about 50 a year, do not contact the door frame in the center of the gasket; hence the gasket rolls in one direction and loses much of it’s “contact pressure” If a door is that hard to close it is not adjusted properly, in my opinion After the silicone has cured tighten the bearings to a reasonable amount of pressure and then again in a week or so as the gasket seats with the door frame

[@HomesteadJay]

Hey there! Nice to hear from you again! I will re check it for sure! It seems to be ok! I dont have any run away fires and when the machine is idle and I open the door theres no flame so it seems to be sealing ok! I will check it out again though! Thanks for the tips! If I re do it again ill take your advice!

[@colvillemarshall3768]

I have a problem where the door does not hit the gasket in the middle on three sides. It’s closer to the outside of the steel door. How can I fix that. And where are these bearings that need to be tightened. I have a 5036 central boiler classic. Thanks in advance.

[@luvdogsandhorses]

@@colvillemarshall3768 No need to fix alignment Just let the silicone cure before closing door Dont get advice from Jay It’s usually incorrect For example if his door is that hard to close with a new gasket imagine how hard to open or close when cast iron is hot and “distorted “

[@tclodfelter8789]

The bottom latch on my 6048 won't latch regardless of how tight I get the nut.... I place a piece of rebar behind the latches so I KNOW they are perfectly aligned! ... any ideas?

[@luvdogsandhorses]

Open the door slightly and inspect the gap between the door and the door frame Slowly close the gap until just a sliver between top or bottom Are they parallel? Is the gap even ? How long since you’ve changed the door gasket ?

[@mountainviewturning5319]

Great video

[@HomesteadJay]

Appreciate it! Have a good week!

[@tclodfelter8789]

My bottom door latch will NOT latch no matter how tight I get the nut. I place a long piece of rebar behind the latches so I KNOW they are perfectly aligned but it still kicks out and won't seal. The bearing nut in the furnace doorway is fully to the front. Looks like I need a bottom latch... or may just go with a whole new door handle set!??

[@Back40Firewood]

Hey Jay...was that rope kit just a standard kit or was it made for Central Boilers? I'm thinking of doing the same to mine here in the next year or 2...looks like its still in good shape, but sooner or later should probably replace it to keep a nice tight seal. Thanks for sharing....great vid. Once you were ready to start the fire I hope you used that shirt to get it going! HA!!!! lol

[@HomesteadJay]

Back 40! It was a kit specifically for central boiler models not a generic kit. Yeah mine was beat up and we put so much effort into firewood I dont wanna have a air leak! HAHA I was waiting for a Patriots comment :) sometimes sports shirts are more controversial than political ones LOL! Thanks for watching!

[@DiligentProsperous]

Thank you for this video. I wondered how to replace this. Did you buy that from Central Boiler?

[@HomesteadJay]

I got mine from a central boiler dealer in the next county. Call the Somersworth NH Stove Shop and ask for bruce he will help you out! Tell him Jay sent you!

[@RagingRabbit90]

Hey Jay know thats its been a while since you posted the video, but, do yoi happen to remember the gasket size (¾ or ⅞ of an inch) Central doesnt post the gasket size and my boilers got some nasty temperature creep.

[@luvdogsandhorses]

Best guess Solidified creosote

[@michaelroberts9926]

Why don't you hammer that steel plate back so it will hang on the door studs and protect the cast iron door like is supposed to?

[@HomesteadJay]

Its cast iron doesnt really hammer back.

[@jamescecil4629]

They tell me to remove the cap ….not good

[@HomesteadJay]

Why? Theres not problem if the machine is running. Off season obv there should be something covering in the offseason!
