Re: [RE-wrenches] hydro coils
Todd, I have a customer who just added some to his cook stove. Don't know the brand but I will check with him to see what they were and where they came from.

Re: [RE-wrenches] hydro coils
Assuming you’re talking about the units that actually installed in the fire box; I’ve actually disconnected a few over the years because they overheated the water to point of regularly blowing the pop off valve of the domestic hot water heater. It’s pretty spooky to rely on the PT valve in that manner. These were retired folks that didn’t use much hot water and plenty of time to keep the wood stove stoked. Hyrdo Coils (etc) would probably work OK for an installation that didn’t keep the wood stove going 24hrs/day, used plenty of hot water and had a very attentive owner. But to answer Todd’s question. I haven’t seen a new one for long time. Seems like I’ve seen a few NOS ones on Ebay and in the dusty corners of wood stove dealers. There was a product that actually installed on the outside of the firebox in such a manner that the heat was conducted to it. I don’t remember who made it and it’s been years since I’ve seen it. Of course it wouldn’t be near as efficient but that would be a good thing in this case plus it didn’t void the stoves warranty because you didn’t have to drill any holes into the stove.

Re: [RE-wrenches] mate/flexnet
Jay - Unfortunately not at this time - but we are considering a way to do it via a small auxiliary power supply module. You can run it without the MATE on the system and only connect the MATE when you want to access the information. The only display then for the customer normally would be the five green-yellow-red LEDs. Christopher Christopher Freitas Director of Research and Development OutBack Power Systems, Inc.

Re: [RE-wrenches] hydro coils
Todd / Wrenches: For what its worth: My favorite woodstove hookup is a thermo siphon feed as done in days of old. This is self regulating and worry free. My oldest one has been going for ~25 years. Just use all threaded joints anywhere near the stove! In firebox HX Id average 24 of ¾ brass per person for a full time woodstove. A scraper arrangement to clean off deposits can make a big difference if more BTUs are needed.
