building my own outdoor wood boiler and was wondering your opinions.
first i am wondering your thouts on return water line location, what ive been thinking is i will have my water return from the house go directly through the water jacketed stove door then out of the door and into the bottom of the main water jacket.the feed line will come from the top . i've noticed that most stoves have the water return going to the top and out the bottom. i realy dont understand this concept because heat rises the hotest water is at the top of the tank. witch explains my thinking on my stove.any imput?
also you all keep talking about secondary combustion? what is it ? how dose it work? can you retrofit a stove to achieve it? what parts? so many questions thanks nate
