ambonci,

The way you had your domestic hooked up, did you have a pump on the hot water heater and a thermostat? Just trying to figure out why it did not keep up?

Greg yes I did.  for the $ its gonna cost im gonna have better hot water and endless amounts of it.  just ordered the plate exchanger.

  I finally got the stove all back together.  I insulated the bottom with R30 Roxul.  The sides, front and rear I used foil faced R14 foam board. also used the foam board in the rear access door.  I insulated the top with Roxul R30 from the top of the stove to the top of the tin roof. enclosing all the air space ontop and around the chimney.  Im hoping that it helps, has to be better then the stock junk.

  I also removed the hot water coil and welded it all shut, silicone it all up nice so my steam out the back issue should be cured.

  Any opinions?

the insulation job looks great!!  I set my furnace on 8" block so I don't have to bend over to load it.  I was planning on insulating underneath now you gave me a little inspiration!!

Thanks, I haven't fired stove up yet im running behind.  I have to finish my new wood shed this weekend then get to splitting.  Im hoping next weekend to make smoke.  Good luck on your insulating fun.  you will not regret it.
