Cast Iron Boiler Stoves??

[Rob From Wisconsin]

We currently have radiator heat in our house.
It would be nice if we could add the woodstove
to that circuit. Any manufacturers of fancy, cast-iron
type models??

Thanks,
Rob

Rob,

I was thinking of doing this too until I realized I didn't have the room where my stove is
in my basement.

There aren't very many options here in the US. The closest you will probably get is if you can find
a Tirolia 7ZH. These were Austrian made cook stoves that were imported in the late 70s and early
80s. Nice stoves, and with a backboiler setup for handling several radiators.

This sort of thing is pretty popular in Europe where houses are smaller so the heat loads aren't as
high. Here are a couple links. If you Google 'backboiler' you will get a ton of links to mostly UK firms
which sell these. I have listed a couple below.

This one, assuming the link is good and current looks like a good deal but shipping might not be possible
or cheap
