Hello, I have an Eko 40 that's been waiting in my garage for a bit and I have a question.
If I can't do hot water storage right now is there any reason I couldn't heat a smaller tank, call it 200 gallons just for a number, and then from that go out to hot water radiators throughout the house?
I realize I'd need more fires, but the 25 year old firetrap that's in my basement now goes all the time now, burning tons of wood not very efficiently.
Storage seems like a spendy deal no matter how you do it. It seems like heating less water more often and sending it out wouldn't hurt anything and might be better than what I have now.
Does that make any sense?
My current furnace is an old forced air burner that doesn't do anything all that well, goes through a lot of wood tho.
Thank you.
