I also have an outdoor wood boiler system.
Two things to check:
#1 Is the circulating pump on the line from the
boiler to house - hot line or in the line from
the house to the boiler - cold line. On open
systems the pump should be in the hot line to
push the heated water through the system
better. I found this after my installer had it
wrong and I had air problems. Pumps
"pulling" on the water lowers the preasure and
allows the water to "boil" at lower
temperatures thus creating problems.
#2 On radiators in open systems the lines
should go in at the low point and out at a high
point. This may take some repiping but
should have been done when changing from
an closed system.
An alternative is to install a heat exchanger so
that the boiler water passes heat to the house
system which could then be a closed /
preasurized system.
Another thought old hot water systems had a
bleader valve that took a key on each radiator,
you may be able to find them and install on
each radiator or at least the first few in the
system.
