    I have ran straight corn and it lit it fine every time. As well as with a couple other different biomass.

    Hey OldFart. Is your air filter for the air pump clean? The reason it has a pressure ignitor is to light any fuel. Wood Pellets typically light in less than a minute, but the ignitor runs for 5 minutes to light any biomass. If you have a cracked hose or a plugged filter? It will reduce flow and make for harder ignition.

    Awesome! You will love it! The burn pot is a better design than the original, as well as airwash. Plus you have the clean out on the exhaust manifold!! I'm jealous!! I love my Fahrenheit. I'd much rather have a New Fahrenheit that's 50,000 BTU than this Harman that's 112,000. I have to change my venting regardless. But now it looks like I have to move the furnace. So all new duct work, venting, etc....

    The air pump is just to the right of the distribution blower in the bottom back of the stove. It is a small circular case that has a filter in it. You can see it in front of the ignitor air pump hose.

    As much as I want to. After getting it home and seeing everything I'll have to do to replace the Fahrenheit? It will cost me more money in new duct work, new exhaust, more time, new backdraft dampers, etc.. I may put it in the garage. Or sell it. . We'll see.

    Hey Dex, thanks for the info on the igniter filter, I will check it out. The reason I had mentioned that to Ivan is when I was talking with Matt about a slight problem that happened with my unit that had involved lighting he said to me the longer the lighter has to run to light the fuel it will cause excessive wear and burn the lighter out. In my case the furnace only runs 24/7 when there is extreme cold which only occurs a couple times a winter. So in other words I usually shut the furnace off for the night and have to relight every morning. If you light it and it burns for days or weeks on end it would not be a concern. I don't know if that makes any sense or not but that is my situation . If it isn't minus 20 day and night here all the time it just gets way to hot for us.
    Thanks for the info Old Fart.
    PS when I am not burning fuel it leaves me more money for beverages.:cheers::cheers:

    If I had to guess?? I would say that's from the old school air wash. The newer air wash keeps the glass and door much cooler. Because it's much more direct.

    Good to know on the differences of the doors:yes:
    Also noticed the glass is further inside which leaves less lip for ashes to build up against the glass.

    Fire went out as it ran out of pellets and no error code was on. So I dump some pellets with some gel to fire it back up. The fire wasn't big at all and it lit itself without shutting down. Came back a little later and there it was, a crack. Could of been cold from the OAK?

    Hello folks, I believe I asked this once before but is there a preferred seller of this furnace that can ship to WA at a good price? And, does anybody have any idea what that price might be? Looking to heat a 30x60x14 foot well insulated shop with it and is seems that good freestanding stoves are just as expensive as a real furnace. Plus I could filter and duct heated air to the far corners.

    I live near a few softwood pellet manufacturers so they're cheap and while I love my NC30 it is not convenient to keep a wood fire going in an outbuilding. Also, despite running the NC30 hard it doesn't have the power to rapidly heat the place up on command so I spend a lot of time playing catch up and heating the concrete insulated slab it seems. Thinking a low thermostat setting of 50 or so all winter.
