I was told today that my Englander 25 pdvc stove is not able to have a thermostat connected to it from a customer service rep at Englander. Does anyone know if this is true? it says it will do it in the manual.

superchips said:Hi/Low = stove will jump up to 9-9 setting when the thermostat calls for heat, then will go back to the setting you have programmed on the control when the stat no longer calls for heat.
Personally I never used it, but I've heard it's good if you connect a water jacket and circulator to heat your hot water tank.
I agree w/ Smokey....try again.superchips said:Hi/Low = stove will jump up to 9-9 setting when the thermostat calls for heat, then will go back to the setting you have programmed on the control when the stat no longer calls for heat......
My neighbor heats his hot water tank off of a 25pdvc. He made his own exhaust pipe with a water jaket coiled around it with a thermostat from an electric hot water tank on the coils that runs the circulator when the coolant in the jacket gets hot enough. In the winter he uses a timer thermostat connected to the control board of the 25pdvc. It turns his stove up to high at 5 am and runs the stove on high. for 45 min That heats up his hot water tank in stead of running his boiler.SmokeyTheBear said:superchips said:Hi/Low = stove will jump up to 9-9 setting when the thermostat calls for heat, then will go back to the setting you have programmed on the control when the stat no longer calls for heat.

Nope try again.

When the stat isn't calling for heat, the stove runs normally.
So I'm not the expert. Maybe you can clue me in?

I know I'm from another country, but, if you change an appliance from its intended use your insurance company might have something to say. After going through 7 months of hell with an insurance claim I wouldn't advise my worst enemy to wrap there stove with a water heater.

If I did I would tell'em to put it in the shed away from the house with the still.
Hmmm... A pellet still. I may be onto something here.
SmokeyTheBear said:imacman already told you how the hi/low operates, as for a water jacket people do the strangest things, it is an untested uncertified user modification and while not likely to cause an issue definitely can.
We can start by looking at how the jacket is constructed and mated to the vent pipe, remove enough heat and you have creosote build up, but hey that's his problem.
