INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing our stove. Developed and manufactured in Hersey Michigan

the EZBoilers “Simple and Strong” stove has been designed to supply heat and hot

water for your home or business. The strongest structural design is round and the

weakest is square or rectangular. This pertains to stoves as well. For longevity and

strength our stove uses a round heavy-duty design for the firebox. Rectangular designs

with many overlapping welds and faceted corners can be problematic. Our water jacket

is also a round design and is 3/16” thick. Your stove also utilizes a natural draft burning

technology to get all of the energy out of traditional fuel sources and to provide you

with many years of safe and cost-effective heating of your building and domestic hot

water supply. With no major electronics or fans on the outside of the unit our stove is

simple and safer. The majority of the parts we use are off-the-shelf readily available to

make service easy. To ensure that you have a clear understanding of the operating

procedures of your stove please take the time to read this manual thoroughly. If you

have any questions give us a call at (231) 823-2499. We will be happy to answer any

questions you have.

Thanks again

Simple and Strong…. that’s our Stove.

SAFETY

Do not operate this equipment for anything other than its intended purpose.

Do not install in a home basement or garage. This stove is intended to be used

outdoors.

Caution….Hot Surfaces….Never leave children unattended near the stove.

Do not burn any material other than natural organics. Do not burn GARBAGE

HOUSEHOLD WASTE STRAW HAY or YARD WASTE. Do not use flammable liquids or

materials to start or to enhance the fire. Never use any type of petroleum product

petroleum based product charcoal starter lighter fluid lantern fuel kerosene or any

other flammable accelerant to start your fire.

Start your fire with paper cardboard and small kindling never any type of flammable

liquid.

When opening the firebox door pause between the first (main) latch and the safety

latch. This type of latch is called a Door Anti Blowback Latch. There can be unburned

gases built up inside of the firebox during normal operation. Pausing at the safety latch

will allow those gases to ignite and burn off. Failure to make this a practice could result

in severe burns. Always close the stove door tightly after tending your fire.

Never leave the stove unattended if the firebox door is open or unlatched.

Do not touch any part of the front of your stove that is uninsulated. Temperatures can

reach 200 degrees in these areas. Failure to do this could result in severe burns.

To avoid electrical shock disconnect the electricity before performing maintenance.

Always wear protective gloves and glasses. Be aware that hanging or loose clothing can

catch fire.

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container

of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground. All combustible

materials should be disposed of by burial in the soil or otherwise dispersed. They

should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

Using an outdoor stove helps eliminate the risk of a house fire chimney fire indoor

smoke or carbon monoxide poisoning.

SECTION 1

INSTALLATION

CAUTION – DO NOT FIRE T IS UNIT UNTIL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AVE BEEN

READ AND FULLY UNDERSTOOD. NEVER LIG T A FIRE IN T E STOVE DRY (WIT OUT

WATER), AS T E STOVE WILL BURN UP.

T IS UNIT MUST BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER.

Before installing your stove always check any and all applicable state and local

regulations and consult with your insurance agent.

We recommend installing your stove a distance of at least 5 feet from any structure

and at least 25 feet away from fuel storage tanks such as liquid propane. However

farther away is even better. The underground insulated PEX water lines can transport

heated water for a long distance without sacrificing economy. Safety should be a top

priority. Your stove should be located with consideration to your neighbor’s property.

This type of stove is not designed to be located or operated in densely populated areas.

Stove Footprint. When you’re beginning to install your boiler the footprint comes in

handy to position the blocks under the legs or pouring a concrete pad. EZ-Pro: L = 60

inches W = 44 inches. EZ-Classic: L = 48 inches W = 44 inches

Those measurements are from the outside of the legs which are approximately 3 inches square. Therefore the EZ-Pro

measures 57″ by 41″ on center and the EZ-Classic measures 45″ by 41″ on center.

CAUTION: Lift and move the stove at your own risk. Do not lift your stove from the

bottom with a fork truck or similar equipment. You can safely lift your stove by

removing the chimney diverter clean-out dropping a chain through the chimney into

the firebox and attaching the chain to the door frame. The stove can also be picked up

using a fork truck by putting the forks through the door opening and into the firebox.

Electrical

We recommend that a licensed professional electrician makes all of the necessary

electrical connections involved with the installation of the stove.

Your stove operates on a 115 volt electrical source. We recommend that you use 14/2

115 volt underground wire during your installation. To avoid electrical shock disconnect

the electricity before performing your installation.

Your stove is equipped with a 115 volt aquastat controller. The pump(s) operate on 115

volts as well.

Aquastat Controller

Before firing the stove ensure that the aquastat is correctly programmed. While this is

done at the factory many factors can cause the programming to be lost and the default

programming may cause the stove to overheat and burn up. See section “Setting the

Aquastat” for details.

Grounding Rod

A properly installed grounding system will protect people from electrical shock help

safeguard expensive electronic equipment prevent electrolysis limit neutral-to-ground

voltage and satisfy the NEC along the way.

Use only a 4GA or larger wire with proper grounding clips. Grind paint away where the

wire attaches to the stove in order to get a solid electrical connection.

GFCI Outlet or GFCI Breaker

Install a GFCI outlet or GFCI breaker on the stove. This will protect the user and the

electronics and prolong the life of the stove. Installing an ordinary electrical switch

between the GFCI and the power supply coming into the stove will allow you to easily

switch off the power to the stove for maintenance. Using the GFCI reset button as a

switch would greatly shorten its life. The stove's pump(s) plug into this outlet

conveniently.

Thermostat

Install a second thermostat (110 volt line voltage thermostat) connecting it to your

existing home furnace. This will allow the heat from the outside stove to be distributed

throughout your home without your indoor furnace’s burner cycling on and off.

Your existing furnace thermostat should be set several degrees lower than the new

stove thermostat. This will allow the existing furnace to only turn on and heat your

home if the fire goes out in your outdoor stove.

IMPORTANT: Have a qualified electrician check to ensure that these changes do not

cause the electric motor to overload. Any modification to the existing furnace must be

made in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications and performed by a

qualified licensed person in accordance with local building codes.

Plumbing

We recommend that you contact a licensed professional plumber to make all necessary

plumbing installations between the stove and your existing heating system or your

building(s). There are tips for the installation elsewhere in this manual and on our

website.

Initial Water Fill-Up

Attach a garden hose to the hose fitting on the return line pipe. Shut off the return line

ball valve and fill the entire system until water runs out of the vent pipe on the top of

the stove. Open the return line ball valve and run the pumps for 24 hours to purge the

air from the system and to check the plumbing for leaks. Check and refill the system as

necessary and pour 1 unit of sodium nitrite treatment solution into the vent pipe

located on the top of the stove.

This is a typical example of the plumbing diagrams for the back ports on your stove.

Stove Water Ports

The stove pump ports are shown here. The ports are female 1 inch NPT (National Pipe

Thread) and fittings are available at your local home improvement store.

SECTION 2 – GETTING TO KNOW YOUR STOVE

Stove Construction

Firebox

Our firebox is 5/16” thick which gives us one of the thickest fireboxes available.The

strongest structure is round and the weakest is square or rectangular. For longevity and

strength our firebox uses this round boiler design. Round designs have fewer welds;

therefore fewer spots for possible failure.

Water jacket

Our water jacket is 3/16” thick and is also a round design giving it maximum strength.

The water jacket surrounds the entire firebox of the stove to maximize heat transfer.

Sight Glass

A sight glass is a simple mechanical way to keep track of the water level in your stove.

With a quick glance you know that your stove has the correct amount of water. If you

do not see water in the sight glass water must be added to your stove. Commonly the

water level in the gauge will settle just below the halfway point.

Boiler Vent

The boiler vent is a port coming off of the highest part of the water jacket of the stove

and is used to vent air from the stove when it is filled. It is also used to prevent a

vacuum from forming when the stove is drained. The stove is a non-pressurized unit

and is ventilated to the atmosphere through the vent. The vent is also a good place to

pour the water additive (sodium nitrite) for your stove. It is not recommended to fill

your stove the first time through the vent tube because that could trap air in the

pumping system.

Chimney

The chimney is 8” schedule 40 steel. A regular 8” piece of stove pipe will fit into the

chimney of your stove. You could also use 8” insulated pipe.

Stoves with chimneys mounted out the side will have far more creosote than those that

have chimneys going out the top. The answer is simple. Unburned gases when exiting

into the chimney cool off condense and form creosote. Out-the-side chimneys run

much cooler resulting in excessive creosote buildup. Your stove has an ‘out-the-top’

chimney running through a diverter. Our stove is designed this way to be simple safer

and require less maintenance.

Check the caulk around the chimney and roof of your stove. Re-caulk as necessary. Your

local home improvement store will carry a high temp RTV silicone adhesive/sealant that

withstands up to 500 to 600 degrees.

Diverter

If you look at the top of the firebox you will see a metal box. This box is called a

Diverter. The diverter is mounted under the chimney. It is designed to push smoke and

heat to the back of the stove so that the stove heat does not go straight out the

chimney. The flapper in the diverter is there to aid in cleaning the chimney. If can be

removed or pulled back to clean the chimney.

Rear Access Door

The rear access door encloses the plumbing and electrical wiring for your stove. It is

held on with two knob bolts and slides out the bottom of the stove frame.
