Hi. I have just had a new Pacific Energy Super 27 wood stove installed. It has a water coil - not a water jacket, as I'd understood when I decided to order it - for heating domestic hot water. I have a local installer looking into designing a system to preheat water going into my electric hot water heater, but I'd be interested in hearing advice and the experience of others with a similar stove. (IE how much hot water can be produced; what is the impact on emissions and creosote; what kind of power failure backup system used (the tank will be downstairs, below the stove), etc.) I called Pacific Energy but they were decidedly distant when it came to answering any of those questions.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts anyone can offer. (I'm in New Brunswick, Canada - a very efficient home but a pretty cold climate.)
