I finally was able to get my WoodMaster 4400 installed this past Friday.  The reason for such a delay is that I had to hire an HVAC guy to unhook my furnace lift it up and then put the exchanger in underneath it, and re run all the lines and the propane line for the furnace.

The 4400 lit.


The pump.


Here is the exhanger under the furnace.


Hot Water Exchanger.

You'll enjoy that stove. Had mine going on seven years, burning 24x7. Really no problems. Have at her!

Don't forget to wash your vehicles with hot water in the winter.

Nice!  I never even thought about that.  And with my manifold water system (it is in the 4th pic) I can run hot water through my garden hose.

Yup, got a hot and cold woodford spigot on the outside of my foundation. Used it many times in the winter. Hook my gas powered pressure washer to the warm water and and gets the salt off nice. Even wash my tractor in the winter. Oscillating sprinkler slid under your vehicle works good to with hot water , gets all the winter salt off. I just regrease u joints and front end if I hammer the water underneath. Enjoy it, your already have it.

if your taps are not 'anti scald" taps you can buy yourself a mixing valve and install it at the hot water outlet of your hot water tank.

i installed a anti scald valve, so when i do get it up and running i should not have anything to worry about.

Hey Alan,

Sorry I just saw your post.  I didn't install the anti-scald valve, and the water can get very hot.  I just warn the kids and guests to be very careful of the hot water, my kids have learned to be cautious of the water.  Probably isn't safe, but I was in a hurry to get it installed and didn't bother with it at the time.  It is probably better that you installed one.

Thanks for the info i guess that i found out for my self today how hot the water gets coming out of the hot water tank. we got back from the casino this am, and i had waited long enough, i started to fill stove/system with water, I never thought that it would fill up, i think it took 1/2 hour, then i put some wood in the stove, and lit it, then turned on the blower/dampner, and holy cow we were building  fire/water temp. once the water puked out of the vent i fired up the pump, by now the stove was running like a locomotive, i went inside to eat lunch, waiting for the furnace to stop sucking propane, getting inpatient, i shut off the propane to furnace, and waiting forever with my hands on the pipes in the basement, nothing happened, i went to the bathroom, and went back down stairs and holy cow, the pipes grew, and they were hot, and now i can keep my house at a decent temp, and not buy propane, i can't wait to see the propane guys face, when he comes over. any ways like they say i should of bought on years ago.  i also do not regret installing a anti scalding valve, even though i its cheap insurance with little kids.
