Well, two days ago it took me around 35 mins gathering up info and pics for my thread but somehow it didn't make it live? Anyways I'll make it simple.
I have a few questions regarding the insulated piping and heat exchangers.
I am getting a woodsman 405 from earthwoodfurnace.com - i picked this furnace due to it being local the half inch fire box and 25 years warranty.
The insulated pipe they sell is this one, pretty much fiberglass insulated r-30 pipes with 1" pex, 12/2 wire and 1/2 pex to fill up the furnace. It sells for around $9.50 a foot minimum 50ft order.
second choice comes from biomass direct about the same price too. Same 50ft minimum order.
So which one should i go for? The OWB will be around 30 ft from my house so I want to use the best stuff out there, so you guys know better insulated pipes?
Second question is about the heat exchanger. The one earthwoodfurnace sells are these two: $190 for side arm and $250 for coil.
side arm
and the coil one
and here is the one from biomass direct $349
so what do you guys think? also i just bought me a splitter from ebay, huskee 22 ton with boom and winch :msp_razz: wife is not happy with my purchases especially because we have to go pick it in Iowa, a 12 hr drive round trip - I keep telling her, it'll pay for itself
