Hey everyone. I finally installed an Outside Woodboiler and research led me to a Woodmaster 4400. I fired it up the other day for the first time and have a couple of questions for those of you who may have one.
I notice a decent amount of smoke coming out around the damper handle as well as the handle to open the loading door. This is mainly when the fan is on. It doesnt seem right to me, but I wanted to see if this was a problem any of you have seen. After only a few days of operation the front of furnace is covered with a nasty brown stain right around the opening.
Also, there I noticed some creosote colored ice on my concrete pad immediately below the loading door. I am assuming this is moisture from inside the fire box that is coming out, but once again, not sure.
Last question, before I load with wood, I pull the damper handle out and wait a bit to open door but still get a face full of smoke. i thought that was to allow some smoke out the chimney.
Great site here. Hope it can answer some of my questions. Love the OWB so far.
