Plumbing / Re: Getting ready to plumb: Feed & return question

Keep in mind, heat rises! But also, alot of furnace bottoms fail from condensation in the fire box because the bottom is to cold. So what do you do? All the manufacturers I know of use the top for the supply and the bottom for return. I guess every stove is different, some may last longer if you draw heat from the bottom, keeping the floor warmer.

 :oBe carefull! It looks like you have a gas furnace. If you place the HX on the return side, it can trip the temperature sensitive gas regulator and then it's trash. If you have oil or electric, forget what I said and put it where you want.

Wood Doctor / Re: wood doctor wont honor warranty

I sure wish I found this website earlier! I sent Wood Doctor $7,900 for a stove a month ago. Last email I got from Arthur was 2 weeks ago, saying my stove was being painted and I haven't been able to get him to return my calls since. Customer service (or lack thereof) should be a good enough reason for no one to do business with them. If someone has the where-with-all to post a website, so it comes up quickly in a search for sites about wood stoves (or other items) that should be left completely alone, I would gladly donate a small amount of money to.

Almost all non-heat problems are from air trapped somewhere in the system.
