« on: January 14, 2012, 07:31:36 AM »
This is my first wood boiler build its a section of 24" inch sch 4O pipe through a 275 galllon oil drum 6" exhaust and will be forced air with draft control I built all myself .. Not to great with posting pics have patience  8) also this is going to be used with coil in house furnace.. A coil in water jacket for potable water .. And I just built a 30x50 shop with Pex in the concrete for radiant heat... Gotta get on computer to add pics can't figure it out with my phone

If you can find an alternate way to post your pics it will be welcomed. Some of us don't use Facebook.

Ditto - thanks for sharing photos.  Can't help you with radiant heat, I used heat exchangers in both my home and shop.

You will need to use a tempering valve to cool the water going into the floor.i belie e the Max temp for the floor is 120*
