Looks like that will make some heat. nice job i love the shop you are in. wish i had one
OP
Nice work! When you're not building owbs what is the shop used for? It looks like a shop I would like to have a few hours to do what ever in!
Firebrick would do the trick I bet also. I questioned it because a friend of mine built his own OWB and had 1/2" plate for the door also, it was ok for awhile but began to warp and was'nt sealing. He wound up making a new door from 1/2" but added another 1/2" plate spaced off the door in the back about an 1" so far it's been fine for a couple years.
Good luck on the rest of your build, I give anyone alot of credit that likes to tinker with the trial and error to make their own heat!
ThanksNice handle design, the up/down should be easier than the push pull. What are your plans for insulation?
Thanks
going to use 2" foam sheets,what do you fellows use for underground pipe to hx?
Nice stove, did you get plans, use your own, or build as you go? Keep the pics coming please.
Hopefully the 2" insulation gives you enough R factor for your climate.
This is the style pipe I used Time Saver Pipe™ :: Pinnacle Supply LLC :: Your source for Time Saver Pipe™, PEX tubing and other components for the Hydronic heating and cooling industry.
I heat 3 buildings, one 140', one 120', and one at 80' from the stove. I have no ground water where the lines run so I went deeper than the standard 18"-24"s that's usually the recommendation, all 3 of my lines are 4' at least with sand under and a couple foot above. At most I only have 1° temp loss on the feed line, I'd say if you can't go that deep that the CB style pipe may be the way to go, but then again it's double the money.
Get ready for the pipe discussion! Ha!
