Oh boy, I've got nothing better to do either.
Here's an idea, keep your secret to yourself, only way you'll get slammed is by coming around here spewing your bunch of B.S.

And the fact that it doesn't look like its very cold down where u are, 10 hours south of me, so I'm sure u probably can heat your 1500 sq ft house to 70, and keep your 140 sq ft one bay garage at 50 and supply dhw for two people that shower together and use cold water for dishes and clothes washing lol
I got a kick out of this blast from the past. Just for grins and giggles I went to the web site and reviewed the blogs. There were only a couple of negative comments and most of them appeared reasonable positive. You gotta give it to him for that coil he sells. It's ready to go. Drill a couple of holes and it's ready to hook up. And it appears to work pretty good with pellet stoves. I don't think it will last any time with coal because of the materials.

My stove used $1100.00 Used Boiler Kit 1 year old used $850.00 ( Kit came with 2 Aquastats and a new 6 gal hot water tank.)
130 feet of 1 inch pex. Plus Taco Vt 2218 pump 18 x 16 heatexchanger
Expansion tank air scoop side arm heatexchanger for domestic water
My electric is shut off on my electric hot water tank
My house is 70 My garage is 20 x 20
I am burning less coal and distributing more heat evenly.

ouch! so you have well over 2,000 in your stove with a coil, idk how great of a deal that is....
ive got roughly 1500 dollars in my BOILER installation, I am heating a 2100 sq ft house, 900 sq ft garage, and heating my DHW, and have been lit since 9/26 and only burned 3018 pounds so far, I keep my house 72-74, and the garage at 55, and lets see, today your temp is 70 degree's, and mine is 36 right now, and tonight it is suppose to get around 18 here.
sorry but im not sold on your fab system for my heating needs, im sure it works great for you, but some of us live in cold places and it would most definitely not keep up with our needs..
