Picked up new stove on saturday, I have some other projects going on right now so the install will be slow, I will keep you posted maybe some pictures, I know how much everyone likes pictures.My setup is 1420 sf unfinished basement,1420 sf 1st floor, 770 sf 2nd floor, 22 year old house, 2x4 walls r-19 insulation lots of windows, r-49 in ceiling. Stove will be in basement with heat jacket, 14 inch duct going into cold air return on furnace (heat pump). I am going to be able to control or close any of the cold air returns.That will be trial & error,example 2nd floor returns open, 1st floor returns closed, basement door open. Coal-trol t-stat will be on 1st floor 40 feet away from stove. Will have a fan limit switch to control furnace fan. The stove has a 21-t double loop coil , I will have 2 tanks 50 gal. each about 10 feet away they will be elevated, the system will thermosyphon,I will also use a 007 circulator on a wall switch running 24/7. I will be able to draw or return water to ether tank

Let us know how you like the 460 air meter when you start setting the draft .Also we like pictures . Thanks Dave

Any suggestions on which fan limit switch ? I was looking at honeywell L4064B2236, 8 inch insertion, I have heat jacket with 14 inch duct. also how high above stove body should I put switch

We love pictures here!

Just finished electric & tested,on back of hopper

Your going to be in your underware all next winter.

You electrical boxes and switches look familiar......

Dave I got the idea for the outlets & switches from your post. thanks for the info. Dean

Some updated pictures of install. I still have to hook up water coil , I have all the fittings & pipe just need to get another water heater. I want to get cold air returns hooked up also.I better get working on it before it gets cold

Looks great so far . Looks like you will have a warm winter . Dave

Looks almost the same as my install, less the hot water coil....

Enjoy the heat!

Wow are you going to make some hot water with that thing. Especially if both burners are running.

Do you have a way to dump excess heat from the water. I have a single loop coil and a single burner and do occasionally pop the relief valve. I believe your setup is going to need it. Very nice job.

When I had my stove with a coil . I just used a 6' base board heater and a good quality mixing valve .When the water went above 150 -160 it would circ through the baseboard . Worked well , cannot remember the exact layout but it was somehow paralleled in .Dave

More pictures of install. I fired up both burners on 10/20, stove is just on low idle,turned min. down to 4 , draft is .04 ,front of stove is about 300 , I can put my hand on stack pipe. The hot water tempering tank is about 130 going in coil, 140 coming out.]

Thats a great instalation. I have a Hyfire II and every year I try to think of way to make more efficient.
