hot water tube

[Doug MacIVER]

When I take our total e bill with taxes and all it's about 15cents a kilowatt hour.

Total e house and we pay usually around 130-180.
Thank God for wood or it would be way higher!

THAT'S BALLS TAX YOUR ELECTRIC

So to clarify: I was wondering if anyone has any experience with an externally mounted hot water coil on a newer wood stove.

I know there are many who have installed internal coils by drilling holes in the stove. But I am not interested in these aftermarket internal coils for a new stove.

I'd be interesting in checking out that option as well, NWB. The Napoleon 1900 has two recesses (one on each side of the stove) that are hidden by the decorative shrouding, that would be perfect to put an external water jacket on. I bet it would heat the water OK, but not as good as the internal piping. HMMMM....now you got me thinking.

I think as long as the system was non pressurized it would be safe...not sure if you're talking about doing baseboard heat with it or what.
You would need a pump.

Has any one had any experience with a hot water tube/coil hooked to a new wood stove? I assume if they exist now they would have to be mounted external.
It seems to me with the long burn times of most new stoves it would be ideal for steady DHW heating.

be careful check with your insurance company
