I was told by the dealer if you plum it to pull off the bottom and return to the top you also lose or drop the water temp by 20 degrees going to the house.

My wood is cut and delivered in 14' in the spring,the next spring i cut it in 24".It is piled in a shed with tin roof,i have no gauge but never had problems with my inside stove or the boiler i used for 12 years.It only leaks when it is cold out - 30 to -10.I believe the problem is the draft fan drawing in cold air,which drops the water temp 20 to 30 degrees.The boiler i made i ran a vent pipe from the draft fan above the insulation and the roof so it of the boiler were the air was worm,never had this leak at the clean out.

This is my first post,2840 has been running for 2 weeks.  I have water drip out chimney clean out,i have brown ice sickles hanging there.b Smoke at fill up-if the fan is on it is not bad but you have to be fast or it gets HOT fast. If I fill it like they say, I cannot see from the smoke.

Has anyone added a length of chimney to get better draft? 

Thanks, Mike
