I'm in the same boat chicken farmer not enough time in the day and not enough days on the weekends!

Isn't it part of the reason we have outdoor boilers so we don't have to baby sit them. I know my indoor wood stove it great but ever 2 to 3 hours you have to feed it.  I don't have for that I need to chuck it full and deal with it again after work or something.   I'm too busy for a indoor wood stove.  I'm sure we all are.  I'm so looking forward to anything over 10 hour burn.

Been there done that .  12  hours burns are nice

I had to baby sit my wood forced air furnace with loading and checking stack temps. She would get hot - like right NOW. Looking forward to a set it and forget it type of operation. And if it gets too hot, I won't burn the house to the ground.

This may be a stupid question but has anyone else ran there power wire through the water lines. I have z supply and I used the rope that was inside of it to pull the wire through.

[Chicken farmer]

How does that Z-supply pex line work? Do you have high heat loss?

[1ELVIS]

I don't know if it's good or not I'll tell you after my first season

[automan77]

I have zsupply 3 wrap and have like a half degree loss  if that in 125 ft. Works great

[Chicken farmer]

I know Logstor pipe is $13.80/ft. How does the z-supply compare?

[jamesbodeis]

Looking good. I'm gonna pour a pad under mine next year.

[1ELVIS]

Z supply is $6.95 a foot but if I had extra money to spend I would have gotten logstor or thermopex. I'm sure most members here will agree with me. If you have it in your budget get the best pipe

[Chicken farmer]

I've got a fairly short run between the stove and the house (50-60ft). I'm probably going to get the Logstor.

I went with the double tile on mine . Works for me
