I am on the 16th winter of a Central Boiler Classic. I am running water only, (with chemicals) but no antifreeze. Mine hold 185 gallons of water, so a 50/50 mix with antifreeze in northern Michigan would be quite costly. Because of that, I keep it running all winter long. It does sort of tie me to it. When our kids lived at home, and their neighbor friends, it was easier to have someone throw some wood in to keep it going. Now that all of them have married and moved away, and their friends have done the same, I am more limited in finding someone close by to do that. When it finally fails, or I do, I will not replace it. The cost of the stove itself has went up appreciably, and I have gotten older. It has served us very well, keeps the house warm and heats our hot water too. The technology has probably changed quite a bit with them since I purchased mine, probably are some with much less water capacity, and I think there are even ones that push heated air into a building instead of water. For an occasional use, one of those might be worth checking into.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
