Thing is I don't have heat up stairs now and i am trying to see if the one pump will push that up stairs or would i be better off adding another pump in the line. The one pump is on the back of my stove. Was told to add another pump in the basement to push water up. Trying to see if that is correct way to do it. Thanks for the help my installer went out of business and left to defend for my self.

I have a Heatmaster 10000E. I am heating about 3500 sq feet now and want to add 1500sq feet. I will be putting and heat exchanger in my air handler to get the heat water to air i think it is called. Somebody told me to T off the line and add the pump which would pump the water up stairs. Or do I just add to the line and let the pump do the work.

I have a 2 story house with 2 different heating units. I use the wood boiler to heat my downstairs. Getting a little older and would like to add the upstairs. Need some ideals on how to hook it all up. Like do I need to run another pump since it will be going upstairs? Can i tie into the line that is there and have the pump come on as needed to pull the water up? any and all help would be wonderful

Table is 24 x 22 and works great not the best at welding but it holds and keeps me from having to pick the wood up several times. I love it!!!!

I go with 180 with a 10 difference. My stove usually shots over 2 degrees so it gets to 182. I have tried several different settings and this works best with my stove and burn times.

I may just try to make it where it will tilt so the ashes can flow out.

All great ideas. Tell me if I shouldn't do this but I am thinking about welding a plate in my ash pan  about 15 to 20 inches from the front forcing air to stay in the back. My thinking is the fire stays to the vac of the stove and heat has to travel the length of the stove to get to the moon shape bypass to head out. Anybody ever thought about doing this?

I am wanting to make me a longer take to help clean better. What kind of tools does everybody use to keep their stove running excellent.

I agree with CountryBoy. I leave a little ash in there all the time so if forces more air to the back. I try and keep new wood in the back and burnt wood in the middle and ash up front. It really has made a difference in how much wood I use.
