Heatmaster mf 5000

mnoliverguy · Jan 9, 2022

anybody had any experience with this type of stove? It is new to me and seems to have some quirks Mostly holding fire. It is supposed to be plenty big for what I am heating. I have tried all types of wood seems to make no diff, I had 2 Heatmore stoves in the past they seem to hold fire alot better. Any thoughts?

I from past use. Do know the more water they hold helps with heating and the size made a big difference in the fire holding. Dad tried a Woodmaster 4400 it would do the job but needed firing at least twice a day to work through the night. He traded for a 5500 and now can fire it twice a day and not have to fill it up completely to keep it warm in the house during the colder weather. Baseboard hot water holds the heat and heats more evenly than forced air. I have the air he has the baseboard and his is always the same temperature in the house through out the house.

Is it over-firing? If the control is opening the draft more than it needs to in order to maintain temp. it will burn out faster. It could be a simple adjustment. Check your barometric damper too. Too much draft will make it burn out faster than it should.

What do you mean by holding fire? The fire burns out? Burns up all the wood?
