I have had the same central boiler for 22 years. Replaced the solenoid 3 times, gasket in the door and the Taco water pump because the plastic propeller disintegrated after 15 years.
On the maintenance during off season: Old timer I bought it from, told me not to scrape off the creosote on the firebox walls after removing the ashes and spray the insides with used motor oil to prevent rust. Great burner with a simple design.

Really nice compliment paid to you by your dad. He knew things were handled well I his absence. That’s a testament to your character young man and based on what I saw from your dad I can see where you got it.

Got on the laptop tonight to investigate using an outdoor furnace and luckily I found you with all the needed information. Thanks for sharing. Rick from NE Texas.

Your Dad is a You Tube treasure & you are a chip off the old block, love your videos!

Thanks for showing and sharing essential animal husbandry. You can tell that your family cares about the whole farm vs the bottom line only thinking. Glad that your dad is sharing his knowledge with you and the rest of us. I watch to learn and expand my knowledge to further help my extended family on their Pa dairy farm. Each time helping there, the more knowledge about things, allows me to be more confident in pitching in. Milking and feeding calves still my favorite chores. Then chasing bales in the field. I also enjoy knowing each cow’s personalities. Some just love to play around with you and others just don’t.

Great explanation of the wood burner. You can hear the pride in your pops voice as he walks us through the system. Someone will buy it for sure just to pick his brain!

I agree about the goodness of wood heat. We heated our house in Maine with wood for many years, and no matter how cold it got, we always had a warm, comfy house.

My wife and I own a landscape business on 40 acres, so we have been looking into getting a boiler setup. I really appreciate the well detailed pros and cons with having one. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

I had no idea that it was possible to renew the extended warranty on my 20 year old wood fired boiler system. So I liked and subscribed today.

***Thank you for this, this type of video is better than sitting in a classroom*** When I was in school we had metal shop, auto shop and a half day class off campus doing actual building projectst like framing, brick laying, and basic plumbing, and electrical. That stuff is long gone and kids need it more now than ever since most do not have enough common sense to jump in and do things for themselves unfortunately. So thank God for sites like yours and others like it. 👍

I learned from your video how to warm my wife up twice with the same firewood! Always good info and great to see the trust your dad places in you Awesome!

I'm so glad your dad's back. I wish him good health. The boiler is great. I'm sorry I don't understand English well. The text is translated by Google. I'm still following your presentation of life on the farm.

My brother got one of those big boilers. Heats his shop and home. Big shop, big house. He just replaced this summer with one of those Canadian units because of the improved tech. He is bringing the 20 year old one to his fabricating shop. It still is in good shape.

There's a lot to like about this video and your channel on the whole, but perhaps most of all I like you're Dad's ability to speak in full paragraphs while breathing wood smoke and ash. Great stuff man

[tonyesker]

I've had my central boiler for 8or 9 years now run it year round with minimal maintenance just the normal things you've talked about absolutely love it

[tomtoms]

Nice seeing your dad back home where his heart is.

Central boiler CL - 17 was a Side draft. With the damper on the right side of the firebox. I’m still using mine !! It’s been a problem. But it gets lots of love and Fixed EVERY TIME IT BREAKS !!! I’m Getting a NEW PORTAGE & MAIN BOILER SOON. Just WAITING FOR IT.. DELIVERY .. IS ALL. And since CENTRAL BOILER BOUGHT OUT WOOD MASTER, I DONT WANT ANOTHER POS BRAND BOILER. THIS Next GO AROUND. As im buying this one Brand new. $13, 000 new 20 Yr warranty. ! Will see hope my central can make it three spring?.. if not the new one will be installed asap after it is on my property. I guess either way outdoor boilers are the way to heat ur house. With firewood!!! Hands down !!

I had the similar boiler in the 2000's and heated the same amount of square footage. Absolutely loved, had to replace one door solenoid and one door rope. This video brought back some great memories. I used it for all floor heat, I burned about 15-20 cords per year.
