Hi to all, I've been cruising this site for a long time and finally registered. It has been a great help in my own purchases, as well as giving sound advice to others. So here is the deal, Ive been heating with my quad now for going on three years. I only heat my home with wood and I have recently installed some hydronic tubing (pex) in my bathroom floors and want to heat the hot water it with my quadrafire stove. I have a 50 gallon storage tank situated close to the stove which will act as hot water storage. What I was thinking was putting a heat coil above the fire blanket. Hilkoil makes a stainless steel one that is sold on ebay. Kind of pricey though, i think. Anyways It seems out of the way, and shouldn't interfere really with anything or effect the draft. I would have to drill 2 holes in the back of the stove. My other idea was to build a small tank inside the step top portion of the stove which is hollow. Thoughts guys? Thanks
