I built one and works awesome.  Instead of a hand crank I used one with a worm gear on the crank and use my cordless drill.

There has to be a seperate thermostat upstairs with 2 wires going down into the furnace.  Red goes to red and white goes to Green for fan.  You have to disconnect the air conditioner wire because it will backfeed and turn on when your blower turns on.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: Rain cap or no rain cap?

no rain cap.  Use a 5 gallon bucket when not running.  All it does is the creosote collects on it then drips all over your shack.  Tried it and hate it.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: Will I burn less wood if I dont run my circ pump 24/7

I am not a boiler expert but I do know a lot about them and what works.  You have to get the boiler shutdown quickly but snuffing out all the air.  I have a flapper connect to a solenoid that is wired to the aquastat so if closes off the air to the blower so it doesn't keep feeding the fire.  I did a ton of research and put in a handmade 20 ft. steel coil that my return water runs through before dumping into my tank.  I burn over half of the amount of wood that I use to.  It acts as an on demand hot water heater and have it perfected to where I get super heat of approximately 70 degrees hotter than what the water enters at.  It's all about regulation, style, and length.  It is a true wood saver and know noone that does it.
