Hello All-

So in the past, on fuel oil, I have seen that thermometer, on the oil boiler go up it 180. But when I preheat with wood it dutifully climbs to 130 and holds. While the wood boiler continues to climb into the 200's.

The supply loop between the 2 boilers is hot, and ocaionally I can hear bubbles slipping through.
The return loop between the 2 boilers sounds solid.

22 PSI on both boilers.

Please review my schematic....

Is this a thermo syphon?
