Has anyone tried wraping insulation on the out side of your boiler? I thought I had heard of some one doing so and wondering if it helped the dripping from the sides?
Deere10 said:I have my GW100 apart now and found the same build up on these tubes. Last season was my first with this unit(may have not been cleaned before I got it). Planning on modifying the side panel so removal and cleaning may be done during season with ease,rather than a complete tear down.

benjamin said:I'm not familiar with these boilers, is that fiber insulation exposed directly to the smoke?
Trzebs13 said:To go to a fab shop and have them take some heavy sheet stock and bend it up in a big U shape, that goes over your Hx and sits on the top of you refractory.

Or add a steel liner inside the insulation that is tighter than the existing steel skin, probably a PITA
