HeatMaster / Re: Considering G200 and C250

Where your bypass is at your water to air coil, I'd put in a 3way zone valve or a secondary pump loop hooked to a secondary t-stat. Where you are at in the south you have hot and cool spells and you can switch from heat to cool at the stat rather than switching manual valves.  Also if you are going with the C250 remember they have a triple bypass in the top and will smoke out the door when loading. I'd keep the stove back away from building to let it get away and not smoke up your building. Just something that comes with being more efficient.

Thanks for the feedback.

Is your 6” PVC a straight shot? If not you will play hell getting Logstor thru it. If you need the flow Logstor offers then go with the 1 1/4” from Z-supply, will still be cheaper then Logstor  is and a lot more user friendly to install.

Thank you, it's straight except where it comes up through to the crawlspace and up through concrete slab.

One set of 1" lines will do everything you need. That is a basic drawing but I would add a few controls to make it more user friendly.

Thanks, can you let me know your suggestions for controls?

Thanks in advance.

Alright all, I guess I will be replacing the current PEX as I've decided to go with with HeatMaster C250 and the dealer does not want it under a roof, so I'll stick the front under the edge of a roof and the rest outside.

I've attached 2 more drawings for possible plumbing, the 2nd picture would be cheapest with only 1 run of 1" underground.

Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions and thank again.

I think a email to heatmaster would give the most acurrate anwsers. There are a lot of "I think".
I would like to add, if burning wood on new models voided a warranty I would not buy a new c250.  If it didn't effect the warranty and was just not suppose to, I wouldn't care but that's my outlaw attitude. I'll email heatmaster myself and get back with you all.

Also like to add to the people that say the president doesn't reall have much power I say, they nominate judicial judges, choose  attorney generals-head law enforcement officers and most importantly to me they choose lead officials of the EPA. In our current case of our Obama appointment liberal EPA, the crazy regulations have me laid off from my good job at a steel mill, over 100 other people in my town laid off from local bearing making factory with average wage $22/Hr cause there bread and butter is railcars bearings, and no coal equals less railcars hauling, and also it's been 4-5 years ago but the aep power plant in my county closed down and has recently been demo'd, cause they couldn't afford the EPA upgrades in the short amount of time they were given to do it.  The liberal EPA, that same people that down all of this to my little county are the same making crazy regs about wood burners.   Commie  nazis I say.

Let's bite the bullets tomorrow and vote trump to keep the lifelong coruption of clintons out, and lighten up the EPA regs and get people back to work and get some of our freedoms back.
And hey I voted Rand Paul all the way. So for u Gary Johnson voters , don't waste a vote, plz. He just can't win. If we want a  libertarian wait till next cycle and get behind Rand or someone that could win. I'm no big trump fan but imma do what I can to keep Killary out of the whitehouse

Shame we are not neighbors, we'd get along really good.

Thank you both for the responses, I'm not familiar with paralleling the lines, I'm guessing your talking about using a connector to use 2 of the lines as supply and 2 as return underground?

Can you clarify what that means...also, if that is the case, 1 of the current 4, 3/4" lines is cold water supply for auto-fill for the old Hardy H2, so I may need to dig it all out and install all new 1" PEX and a supply line anyway, its still just not lear to me.

Any other pointers are appreciated and thanks again. If I have to go with new 1" PEX, any thoughts on insulated badger? or would z-supply or Thermopex be much better?

Hi All,

Wanted to get some input from folks with much more experience than I have.

I am replacing a Hardy H2 that was damaged by a storm that hit my property.

I'm considering a G200 and C250. My property is all mature hardwood and with the storm we had, I have firewood for years. I am rebuilding my 24'x24' pole shed that I part my tractor, mower under and the rest is used to provide covered roof for my stacked firewood.

I'd like your thoughts as well as how to deal with the plumbing. I currently have 4x3/4" insulated PEX in 6" schedule 40 under the ground to my crawlspace and have drawn out and attached a couple of plumbing options I like some feedback on as well.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or other questions I can try to answer.
