Just sharing for people who may want info on running stove for domestic water. I was able to knock around 100$ off my electric bill by running my stove instead of water heater. I have an entire circulator that I ran on speed 1 which used 8 watts of power ran stove non stop never once lost a fire. On average I'd use 3 20" oak splits for 24hrs. I've been really happy with the overall performance of the stove. I do have a positive air stop on my draft I believe this helps me have absolutely no condensation in my upper heat exchanger which had been asked by a dealer if I was having any of these issues. Just turned bypass valves back open this morning weather is cooling off here in Michigan. Happy heating

Yes, ran mine all summer too. Minimal wood use, nice hot water. What pump is using 8 watts?

Taco viridian pump on speed 1. I run a grundfos on my boiler boiler anytime the boiler cycles to make sure I am moving the water around. Winter time I usually bump to speed 3
