Would this do the trick?   It says up to 30 Gallons, but being the Woodstove is insulated and the pump running it should be ok I would think

Farm Innovators "Around The Farm" Submergible Cast Aluminum Utility De-Icer Model C-250, 250-Watt

The issue i see, is the hole where this would go in the WoodMaster is only about 3 or 4 inches wide.

Hi all,
thanks for the ideas, I will either go wtih two options: Heater inside of unit with the pump on to keep the water ciculating.
or just empty all of the water out to be on the safe side with no worries just alittle more work before i go away and when i get back.

Wonder if i go with option one, to use one of those timers so I can have it turn on every 4 hours or so, hate to leave a heater inside running 24/7.

It it soo sad, I live about 5 min from the school.   On Friday morning,  I was at the children's dentest wtih my daughter, one of the Staff workers all of sudden started flipping out sceaming and crying.   She raced out the door saying my child is in the school and they just locked it down.  I never seen someone so scared before.  I will never forget the look on her face.   Those poor childen in the school didn't even know what was going on.

Hi All,

Thanks for all of the ideas, this forum is great.   I might go with Jack's idea of a space heater.  I will have my Mom come by the house every fews days just to check on the water temp and also make sure the heater is working inside. 

Some one also mentioned just put a 100 watt bulb inside and should be good.  I have 16ft of chimney on my stack so i can't put the cap on so some heat will be lost...so maybe the space heater set at low "750w" will be more heat than the 100 watt bulb.

thanks again.

Hello,

I live in New England and my Woodmaster 4400 is very close to the house, it is about 3 feet from my house.

If I have the pump running would if freeze? 

Any recommendation of other options I can do?

thanks all for any ideas.
