For Sale / Re: Wood Doctor 8000
« on: January 31, 2017, 02:53:23 PM »
The stove is in semi-storage, meaning there is no fire but I have the pumps running to keep the water warm in the stove from the house furnace. On weekends we do fire the boiler to have heat in our attached garage.

The Stove was built in 2006 and put into operation at my house in 2007.
I am open to reasonable offers.
The garage size is 24'x32' with 11' ceiling height. The heat exchanger is 160K Btu and overall dimensions are 18"x23". At this time, I don't want to separate. Thanks

For Sale / Wood Doctor 8000
« on: January 24, 2017, 06:33:35 PM »
Up for sale is my Wood Doctor 8000 outdoor wood stove. This is the updraft style. Unit is very well built and never had a bit of trouble with it. I just don’t have the time to cut the wood and load the stove with my work schedule. The stove is set up with dual pumps, 2nd outlet for additional building, comes with custom built heat exchanger for the garage, heat exchanger for the furnace and a lot of other items.
I use to be a Wood Doctor Dealer and installed numerous brand stoves and serviced them as well. So, if a buyer is somewhat close, I could help deliver and setup the stove free of charge. I am in Southeastern MI.
$5500

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: polar outdoor furnace
« on: March 03, 2015, 05:57:46 PM »
Polar is the company that use to manufacture the Wood Doctor brand stove and Arthur was the owner of wood doctor. The whole mess was a domino effect where Arthur and Polar knew of design defects and both parties argued who would cover warranty. Arthur started looking into manufacturing companies in the states here, but could not find anyone with enough resources or knowledge to manufacture the stoves on a large scale.
I spoke to Polar, Solar Winds as they were once called, but didnt seem to have much faith in dealing with them again.
Overall a decent stove, but as others have mentioned there are more efficient stoves out there.

Current Wood Boiler is a Wood Doctor 8000 Conventional. Being an old Wood Doctor Dealer and installer of many different brands, I would not even think about stainless. New Stainless stoves might be better nowadays, but failures with the old units that were stainless left a lot of people pissed of.
Front load stove if purchased from a Manufacturer, then it would be a Royal Wood Furnace. These are pressurized units and well built. http://www.royallfurnace.com/
Ideally, new stove would be a home built Conventional Top Loader, due to the ease of loading with my design ideas of exhaust recirculation and what not.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: Need advice on water temperature settings
« on: January 09, 2015, 09:24:26 AM »
Set your high limit to 190 and the low limit to 175 in the colder times. Setting high limt at 200 will allow the boiler to overheat the water in the top of the stove and 200' is the factory setting for the 2nd safety aquastat.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: Grounding OWB?
« on: November 22, 2014, 04:38:25 PM »
I used to be a Wood Doctor Dealer and Installer. I would always install copper ground rod next to the stove and ground the stove with #6 stranded copper to the ground rod. On Wood Doctor models, there was a electrical lug on the leg of the stove. There is a theory out there that moving water in the stove and pex creates a slight electrical current.

The Polar furnace is the same company that use to build the Wood Doctor Brand models. Although, the design is not pressurized, same as previous. Decent design, that could of been made better, which I tried to talk Polar into when they called me to become a Dealer since Wood Doctor was out. They didnt want to listen to design changes, which numerous customers thought would be a great fixes for the current design. So after lenghty talks with them, I decided not to invest into Polar. When Arthur got involved with Royal for the new Pressurized Wood Doctor model, I called Royal to find out info. I was impressed with the Royal brand which has been around for numerous years. I dont see Wood Doctor website anymore, so...?

Tom Lubbers owns Log Boiler in Michigan. Do some research on the Canada "Log Boiler" because they stole that from Tom in Michigan. I talked to Tom years ago on designing a smaller residential system, but at that time he only had commercial size models. Today he builds a smaller model in the video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WfaVP1gUFM

Do you have the room to install 2 into a A frame design? Similiar to the A coil for AC in the system. Double stacking 2 would create too much restriction.

You are not out of your mind. I have been wanting to build a top loading stove for a couple of years. Probably when my current stove fails I will build it. Anyway, here is a video of Tom's top loaders. LOG BOSS BOILER

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: New EPA standards
« on: January 24, 2014, 07:47:22 AM »
This is exactly why I stopped selling these stoves and also because Wood Doctor had a falling out with Silver Winds. Updraft stoves are being banned and customers do not want to pay double the price for a downdraft model that had lack luster quality and maintenance. If my stove gives up, I will build my own model.

Plumbing / Re: Radiant floor
« on: December 11, 2013, 10:11:28 AM »
I have the same deal. Under sub-floor radiant floor heat. I was told that I need to create an airspace between the insulation and the pex tubing, otherwise the heat cannot escape or transfer to the surrounding structure. I haven't done this yet as I will need to remove my insulation and not looking forward to that work.
