I too replaced triple wrap with logstar this summer and already see a difference. Instead of filling the OWB 5-6 times a day, I've been filling twice a day. Although, given the temps (50-60 degrees here), it still seems like I;m burning more wood than I should. I guess I'll find out when it gets colder. My settings are at 170/10. I have an 85' run and I'm getting 169 temp gauge readings inside the basement sending back 160 degree return temps to the OWB.

My z-supply 3 wrap works great .  No problems  what so ever.   Double tile  106 foot run from boiler to house.  Less then 1 degree temp loss.

I've got the z-supply 3 wrap also. Single tiled. 4-5 feet deep. So far so good. Havent had any real cold weather to test but it seems the colder it gets the better it works.

The pipe we use and how we install it is so important, it affects the amount of wood/ therefore work we do and the heat we receive.

I think that because we stick it in the ground and never see it we underestimate it's value. Yet it is a critical part of the system.
