just wondering if any one else has hicks waterstoves? and why they dont list them on here w/ all the other stoves or furnaces? be nice if we owners could find each other to discuss our equiptmnt and ideas??

There are a couple, they don't add any categories much anymore, there isn't a lot of talk on that brand but there are a couple owners on here

Welcome to the site

I have a Hicks bought it this year.

I believe there are 2-3 more people on this site as well.

I think the issue is "Most" Hicks stoves are built to go inside a building or large shed.
This site is for Outdoor Wood boilers. Many of the manufacturers listed may build indoor
versions but the site is for outdoor boilers.

Feel free to contact me, Mark is my neighbor.

i smell ya frye daddy ,thanks for the reply.same concept but , you need a dry place to tend the stove as well as a dry place for the wood.the furnace i have is equipt w/ solar connections,im sure youra as well. so do the others have solar opts? guess you would need to build a building.or build a stantion to accept solar panels?never seen a stand alone w/ solar panels.but is probally do able

thanks scott,maybe these guys will chime in later.has there  never been any conversation on the hicks? or reckon its cause were too far south?  not sure where the majiorty of the folks live on here, but feel its a bit north of the carolina.man its really time consuming trying to figure out where everybodys is from   ya know  maybe some day our location will be posted w/ our register.  thanks again scott

Yea.. Is a location thing, I've only seen a couple hicks up this way in NE ky, the warmer winters in the south make it easier heating, the ones I know of here have a harder time keeping up than some.

Homeyd,

I do have the solar connection and will be installing solar panels this coming weekend.

I hope to shut my water heater off for good!!!

 :thumbup:good on you man. did you get the panels from Mark?or did you find them elsewhere?weve got several at the shop.if you need anymore. most are 4 x 10. how many you gonna put up?they do a great job, imo                             ill have a set in time gotta do some work on my shed.dont have the southern exposure.                                                                                                weve put up panels two days this week. the customers are really stoked about the set up so far .       
its pretty amazing what four of those panels can do.even in the early spring.                                                                                                       did bruce ever get his hooked up ?you might have to light a fire under him get him on the ball.BUT its hard to teach a dinasour new  tricks!! na he will  soon prob hes wasting all that sun  ya know.                   
good luck w/ the panels ,  gonna be a great weekend to do solar.supposed to be cooler this weekend.  great time for an install.let mr know how it goes...            homey d
