Outdoor wood stove add on

[ditchmedic]

Hey all, i just bought an outdoor wood stove add on for my furnace. Its a US stove 1600 ef. anyone have any experience with this add on, or any furnace add ons? I am fixing to install it sunday during the break in the weather to beat the high propane prices that are coming.

Is it a hot water boiler or a forced air furnace? What is your current heating system? If you currently heat with hot water baseboard and you are adding an outdoor wood boiler to the system it is pretty easy. Basically 3 valves a trench and piping tying into the existing system. You might want to consider adding antifreeze to the system though since you will have piping potentially exposed to sub zero temperatures.

it is forced air, and i currently have a propane forced air for the house...no water here.
