But do you ever wonder whether you are doing everything correctly with your outdoor wood burning boiler?

Here are the TOP 5 Ways to make sure you get the MAX savings from your outdoor boiler:

1. You wouldn't drive your car without oil, right? Yet some people don't use outdoor boiler water treatment in heating system.

Whenever water and steel touch, there is corrosion that begins INSTANTLY, unless the water is properly treated. That is why you need to use boiler chemical corrosion inhibitor to ensure that your furnace water is properly treated and avoid corrosion. 

Our Outdoor Boiler Liquid Armor water treatment is formulated to protect your exact grade of steel in your outdoor boiler.

2. VERIFY that your boiler water is properly treated. Send a water sample to our Outdoor Boiler Lab for your FREE water test and analysis. 

The results of this test will tell you what you need to do to make sure your water is properly treated. In most cases, the test results give peace of mind knowing that your boiler is protected

3. Ash Management - When it comes to this important maintenance item, remember LESS ASH IS BETTER.

Some people allow deep layers of ash to build up in their furnace. This first causes reduced efficiency, but then quickly destroys the steel.

NEVER allow ash to build up in your boiler deeper than three inches. Remove ash every few days, and completely remove ALL the ash and scrape your firebox at least monthly.

4. Sediment Removal - Sediment buildup is the "Secret Killer" of outdoor wood burnersBut taking care of this is simple! Just open your drain valve once per year and allow the water to run clear.

5. Operations and Maintenance - There are two important points here: First, you should never OVERFILL your firebox with firewood. We call this "Topping Off" the boiler. (This is not about water, it is about putting too much wood in your firebox.) 

If you overfill your firebox, the furnace never completely dries out. All outdoor wood stoves MUST be run in a dry state every day to keep the steel protected. 

To do this properly, don't overfill your firebox. Then DON'T ADD FIREWOOD to your firebox again until the previous load of firewood has burned down almost completely to ash. This gives the boiler several hours of burning with just hot dry coals.

If you "Top Off" your firebox with fresh firewood before the previous load of firewood has had a chance to burn down to coals, the furnace never burns dry. Again, all outdoor boilers MUST be burned in a dry state every day for several hours
