A very well made system. I know the weather in Montana is just a bit on the cold side. So nice to see someone use there gray matter to make something homemade that works really well. Happy New Year fella too. Peace.

Thank you for the nice comment. I am amazed this winter how much less firewood I've gone through, and it's all because of something as simple as a tank of warm water. Thanks, Pat.

@@paddyb431 Pat my stove just an upgrade with secondary air burn. I can tell you that my wood use is cut in half. Why did it take so long for this information to come out. Also, I have a 15 gallon tank on the stove and that really helps too. Simple is the way to go. Peace V

Nice, now if you just added waste oil as a fuel source, it would require almost no maintenance in the morning.

I would suggest some kind of pressure relief valve for safety.

As I agree with you- with the overall differential in water volume between the box atop the stove versus the heat exchanger box, it works under the same principle as hydraulics. The cooler liquid in the vessel with a significantly greater volume will cool the hotter liquid. This, with the probe jogging the pump on and off, it SHOULD balance itself…. Long as nobody over stokes the wood burner…. But, at least an expansion tank with decent volume!!

Looks good... FYI ... return line needs to be above 145 or it will condensate.. That is why outdoor boilers rust out so fast.. if you can keep it above 150 you will have no issues,, Also put a little soluble oil for cutting steel you will have no rust issues also.. Cheers

@paddyb431 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks. Yes, have some cutting oil in it. If you see my updated video on the boiler, I moved it. It's above the stove now and the water stays well above 150 F., and the shop is usually still warm when I get there in the morning since the boiler is still radiating some heat.

Awesome! Possibility of update video after being in service for years ?

I would be awesome if you could explain how to build this and what materials you used. It would be great to no where to get the materials. Thanks so much for the video! Great idea!

Nice. How big is your shop and did you fab the convection unit yourself

@claesmansson9070 3 жыл бұрын

Think would put a blower to the stove itself and burn the gasses instead of sending them out the chimney,think burning not effective as is,maybe would build something like the HS Tarm heater around 90+ effective.Thanks for vid.

i put boiler heat( propane fired) in my house in 96, the boiler has a small pump inside, we added a bigger pump(in line) that runs all the time, i headered 2 lines with the intent to add a wood burner with a water jacket that would supplement the existing unit, could i build a top mounted manifold to pickup extra heat sending it thru the house and back to the main boiler? That water, i think could or should keep the house warm enough to minimize the main boiler from kicking on? The bigger question is to and how to build and place the manifold or hot water box to the wood burner? Thank You.

im trying to build something like that,where do you get the circulation pump,what brand is it,have you thought of making a free energy device with the fan on the stove.

I'm impressed Did you build that boiler? Lots of nice hot water....

@paddyb431 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, I cut the end plates out on my plasma table and welded all the tubes in. It has completely changed how efficient the wood stove now is in keeping the shop warm.

@kinzieconrad105 2 жыл бұрын

All galvanized just give it another year or two and it will start popping leaks at the welds unless you did chemical treatment but I am guessing not. I am sure it works though there are better ways.

@harrymills2770 2 жыл бұрын

What's to keep the water from getting too hot when the pump fails or the power goes out and the fire just keeps heating-up the pipe and the 5-gallon tank mounted on the stove? This doesn't quite make sense to me and you said a couple things that seemed nonsensical.

What happens in the event of a power outage while there is a full fire burning in the stove?

@paddyb431 3 жыл бұрын

Nothing. The fan would quit, I'd still have heat and it would just radiate naturally into the shop vs. having it blown all over from the fan. We've had power outages several times since I've built this and it's the warmest place to be (next to the stove) until the power comes back on.

@bobbrua8758 3 жыл бұрын

how does the water get to the unit and do you need a pressure relief valve nice job may make one

@paddyb431 3 жыл бұрын

The water is in the boiler all the time. There's no pressure relief valve needed since there is an overflow tank/reservoir on top.

@benholler1389 3 жыл бұрын

@@paddyb431 is the overflow tank sealed?

@colinkulasik1128 3 жыл бұрын

You really do need to put in a water heater pressure relief valve on that. Secondly the thermal stress of the water actually boiling in your heater tank is reducing the life of the steel. I advise you continually run your circulation pump but the relief valve is a must, that is a bomb waiting for something to fail. It's a 5 dollar item that will save your life

@paddyb431 3 жыл бұрын

@@benholler1389 No, it is not sealed which makes the system non-pressurized. The water in the overflow/reservoir is about 3" deep when it's cold and 1/2 to 2/3rds full when hot. There is no pressure in the system and the lid just sits loosely on top. It's been this way for 3 years and I've never had an issue.

@paddyb431 3 жыл бұрын

@@colinkulasik1128 No, I don't. You don't need a PRV in a system with zero operating pressure. The water tank on top of the tank isn't sealed like a radiator cap-it just sits there loosely to keep dust and dirt from entering the water system. Zero pressure. Also, the water temp has never gone above 170F so the water isn't boiling-it's just heated. The circ. pump kicks on when the water gets to around 120F and stays on from there. There's no "bomb waiting to happen". It's been running flawlessly like this 7 days a week for the past 3 winters and I haven't had to fix or repair anything on it.
