Hi. Thanks again for all the details. Its really going to help. One thing I could recommend to help with getting a better draft is to take a piece of pipe and drill many holes in it and than weld it to the pipe/ inlet you have at the front of your burner. This will pull the oxygen through a disperse it around the whole burner. I have added it to a camping stove I have to great effect. Once again great video
I like your set up but the stove pipe could be longer ....your air inlets apear adequate but more draft will help with moisture and reach a correct burn cycle faster. I'd try adding one length to experiment.
100% agree! How do you think I could support the pipe when adding the lengths? Even just with the two sections the wind sometimes blows it around. Thanks for watching and having a great comment!
commenting on a 3 year old video. your measurement may not be 100T accurate, but it IS scientific method. you measured your constant pool temp, before heating. then measured the two variables and made a comparison.
@@UpperPeninsulaDIY you are a smart fabricator....dont let a little wind stop you....guy wire it or weld the sections and add a strap...."yes you can"...! You want heat...! Not smoke and creosote...!
One thing I noticed is that when you look at the filter loop going to the propane and the filter loop going to the wood, they are not the same size and diameter therefore they do not get the same flow. Your flow going to the woodstove is extremely restricted due to the size of the line. Also I wonder if using your filter to pump that water through a restricted line that is much smaller than the filter, going to cause problems with your filter pump? If those lines were the same size all the way around through the wood stove as they are on the propane I bet you would have closer to the same amount of water heating with both systems. There's really nothing you can do about it at this point but just an idea.
You are right, the wood stove loop is more restrictive. Copper piping is the most restrictive with only being able to purchase nothing bigger than 1". At least easily able to get. There is more head pressure for the pump but managed with the bypass valve. Thanks for watching and having some great advice in your comment. Thanks!
@@UpperPeninsulaDIY I am putting a heater in now off my Natures Comfort wood boiler. Just the salt water heat exchangers go $1000-2700 Not counting pex tubing and hardware.
@@UpperPeninsulaDIY By only closing the big valve partially, this will allow a percentage, only to go through the wood heater, the rest will still flow through to the pool, unobstructed, a good balance.
Some high temp insulation on the roof wall between the coils, and maybe more coil incoming around the chimney pipe to prewarm incoming water. Towards the idea of a furnace for melting metals near the coils the heat has more dwell time around coils, smaller fires with bigger temp increases
My pool is a 28 foot round pool, about 18,000 gallons. How much wood you would go through and temperatures will very depending on what type of would you use.
@@UpperPeninsulaDIY how much wood do you go through and what temperature does it hold ? It's hard to figure out the correct btu output and if it's financially fiscal to get done as a start up
This type of stove is not efficient. I don't know exactly how much wood I went through but a lot. I only usually us this stove after a rain or just to warm the pool a couple degrees. I also have a propane pool heater that is much more efficient. I use the propane for initial opening of the pool to get the water warmed up, then the wood heater to maintain. I know it doesn't directly answer your question but your question is tough because there isn't exact numbers.
Pipes are soldered together. I don't remember what size I went with, I want to say 3/4". Here is my playlist, you can look through the videos to see what size pipe. ru-vid.com/group/PLhm4dRKS8DVfs17YMARWLIhbfKh6F0f4S
@@tastytechaddictsmtb It's important to always have water flowing through the pipes when there is a fire going. If water is flowing then the solder want melt.
