I really want to buy an outdoor wood boiler. I love having my woodstove in the basement but having to bring the wood in is a pain. Plus the OWB would make it easier to maintain a constant temperature. The last time I looked the G4000 was $12,500 before tax...so i can't justify it just yet lol.
Cant believe how small the exhaust pinch point is at the output of that fan. Is there a way to oil / grease the fan so that is lasts ? That would be pretty legendary for modern day times lol. To show us what surfaces are in contact with the water jacket and what surfaces are " dry " would be extremely helpful. Either a diagram / animation or just pointing and saying. Also, as much technical specs on the material as possible is always appreciated to throw in ( i.e various types of metal used ). Did i miss you say where these are made ?
All parts are 409 stainless. Except a few pieces like the legs, handles, etc. They're made in Manitoba. The water jacket surrounds the firebox, reburn area, and exhaust tubes. Someday I'll have time to make a video with more details, but that'll be during the summer season I'd guess.
@@georgedibert712 there is an access port above the turbulators, you can pull them out the top. But it is very rare to replace them, they're pretty heavy duty.
I would say check it every few months until you see how clean your wood is burning. It really varies a lot depending on moisture, the type of firewood etc. Cleaning intervals vary dramatically depending on what you're doing with the stove.
From what i paid for my first unit 20 years ago to what they charge for the units now is almost criminal. I understand there is more technology and better construction put into the furnaces today. But not enough improvements for a 15k-20k price tag.. Just saying

My neighbor asked me to run his G4K while he was on vacation, no training provided... Now I'm a pro... Thx...
Thank you

The fan has sealed bearings, no oil ports.
If you need to replace turbine in tube how do you get them out of tube in heat exchanger

7:30. You mention it should be cleaned out ever now and then. How often is that? Once a month or once a season?
