Posted a thread on my stacked tanks once before. Got good advice form forum member. I was all hung up in the stratification, verticle vrs. horizontal efficiencies discussed at length on this site on this site. Went with 2 (500 gal) stacked . Put 3 ( 10") pipe ports in center, spaced about 4" in between so as to fit my one poiece system into my building.. I think the bigger the ports the more even the flow. It really made the tanks rigid. My Frohling 50 had a plug in port for tank temps . I put 4 evenly spaced digital gauges to see how it stratified. It works naturally and charges to 180 top to bottom evenly, usually on one charge of wood. I put it on 4 small dollywheels that will handle the load. Moved it with 100 hp tractor with a 2700 lb loader lift on rough terrain and got it to a slab where we were able to roll it into a 82" standard door opening. Quite a ride indeed. It was all the tractor could handle and certainly out of my comfort zone. The 2 stacked 1000 gallon tanks would need serious equipment to move on out of level terrain.
