Firewood?

If your heated floor is hydronic , you might be interested in this. I installed a hydronic heat system in the concrete floor of my little man cave in my pole shed years ago. Then a while back I inherited this wood stove and decided to install it here and integrate it to the hydronic heat. My main goal was to save some space in the 325 square foot room. I installed multiple lines of 1/4 inch copper tubing on the two sides facing the wall and mortared it in with a heat transfer cement. When the stove temperature gets up to temp the disk thermostat closes the contacts on the water pump and pumps the water though the floor. Now when the fire is cranking, I can put my hand on the back side and it is cool to the touch. If I had a chance to do it over I would have come up with a better why of making or hiding the two manifolds for all the copper tubes . The other day I had a friend up to stay for the weekend so I need to get the temp up for him to say here. The floor was at 25 degrees and I got the fire started at 8:30 in the morning, with constant fires I got the room to 80 and the floor to 60 degrees 12 hours later.

You sure that isn't some sort of moonshine device?

Interesting. Good use of the WS to heat the water.
