General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: OWB Stack question

« on: October 16, 2013, 01:57:51 PM »

Its out of the weather, my wood is dry in there, I have access straight to it with my truck and its 1/2 way between the house and the shop so that my runs were not too long.

I'm running the Earth Worrd MountainMan furnace.

I do not have too much invested in the stove pipe and I can easily re-do this.

I guess the best would really be to run it through the corrigated roof and be done with it. Going through the walls I really did not have to worry about sealing it water tight.

Thanks,
Brian

I've never seen the sparks and flames of an OWB, that's why I come here.
My roof is corrigated and I was leary about going through the roof so I went out the top of the wall. It is not above the roof peak. It comes out in my pig pen.
The pipe is single walled.
I can turn it up and extend it above the peak easy enough, I just didn't want to add another 90.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / OWB Stack question

« on: October 15, 2013, 06:31:35 PM »

My OWB is in my barn. The stack comes up 6ft, turns 80-85 degrees and exits the bldg with a 6ft 6" stove pipe.

Does the stack have to end in a vertical orientation or will this work?

Plumbing / Check Valve in Pump Yes or No

« on: October 04, 2013, 01:39:32 PM »

My pumps have a check valve in the inlet. Do I keep them in or pull them out?
Do these effect the flow charactoristics of the pump?

Mine shows great attention to detail, on the visable parts anyway.

I'll have it fired up in the next few weeks. There's a lot of work to do to get one setup.

I've got the Mountain Man 500. This is my first year and I still have a little more to do before I'm ready.

I too have found very little on this product.

Happy burning!

I might keep the 15-58 for a spare/emergency pump and get the pump you quoted.
Thanks,

I have a second pump for my second loop, a Bell and Crossett NPF22.

That loop it 55' of 1" with only a water to air exchanger.

What do you think of this one?

Reading the previous post, I hope I got the right pump???

I have a run one way of 220' and a 30 plate heat exchanger.

What pump would you suggest?


I have a Grundos UPS15-58FC.

Plumbing / Connecting the Exchangers

« on: September 23, 2013, 07:20:58 PM »

I know that 90's really reduce the flow but how do I connect the FPHx and the Water to Air exchanger without using a few?
