Here is where there the fun  startes

The dealer delivers
As with any major purchase you should shop around and deal with some one who has been around for a wile and you trust.
So a place called Snake Oil Sam's Used cars and wood stoves mite not be the best place to shop :  )

There are some good designs out there and good dealers but there all so some quick buck artist pushing junk . So do your home work and shop around there is a lot of info on the web to had.

After shopping around I found a local heating and AC supplier who two years ago be came a dealer for Wood Master. He heats his store and shop with the biggest one Wood Master makes. His two sons heat their homes with them. And he has been working on one for his own home this summer.
Steve has been a HVAC supplier for 20 years.

Here is Steve setting the stove.
The stove weight dry is 1600 pounds.
But with this slick trailer setting it is a one-man operation   

One of the stove legs would be all most
on top of the trench.
I used ½ inch steel plate to startle the trench
. and for the rest of the pads

Here are the pads for the stove
Due to the angle the trench had to come in at

Here is a rear view of the pump, valves and controllers
This is the water to air heat exchanger
That goes in the duct work of the house

The one BIG BEFF I have with the manufactures of wood boilers that offer domestic water heating is out of the four I check out including Wood Master have no way to control how hot the water can get.
This means that you could have 180o water coming out of the tap. We are talking secant and third degree burns here. The only way you can safely use their system is with an anti scald valve that mixes cold water with the hot to give a preset temp out.  Now in some places the building code calls for them in new consecution and some places don't. But none of the manufactures make mention of them.
Talk about a lawsuit waiting to happen.

The way I am setting mine up takes care of that problem and the cost of the $200 water to water heat exchanger some of them are selling.
I don't know who came up with this first. But back in the 70s some one looking for a cheap alternative for a heat exchanger to use in a solar water heater, Hit upon the idea of using a gas hot water heater as a heat exchanger and storage all in one shot. What you do is take out the burner and cap the flue top and bottom and weld in pipe nipples for in let and out let and instead of hot combustion gases going up the flue and heating the water in the tank you circulate heated water. And best thing is the cost free for the hauling.

Here is the tank striped of burner and outer skin
Flue with ¾ inch inlet added
How I control the temperature is when the temp reaches a selected set point a zone valve from the boiler supply closes to the heat exchanger and another zone valve opens a by pass to the return line.
Adjustable snap thermostats will work and they run around $20 But I was lucky enough to have some Omron E5CS temperature controllers given to me from were I work they have multiple set points and they display temperature.    One controls the domestic hot water heater and the other is set up so when the water in house heating coil reaches a set point it switches control from the propane furnace thermostat to a heat only thermostat that controls the blower. This way both can be set at the same temperature.
The only way to tell what is heating the house is to look at the control panel .
The only thing I can do now is work on my wood pile and wait for cold weather.
I will and some data as I go a long in heating season.
