What unit do you have and how much more wood (or less) do you use with this system?Ours is a gassification set up and I added the 750 gal strg tank. The pump from the tank to the house loop runs 24/7 during the winter. The pump from the heater to the strg tank only runs during a burn cycle. This allows us to burn full out without any idle time or smoldering/smoking up the joint. Then those BTU's are in the big tank and the house gets heated from that. We also do our dhw in the winter off of the house loop. It isn't worth burning only for the dhw in the summer, unless we upgrade and put in a hot tub. Then we would, of course, get to (have to :msp_thumbup: ) expand!
Cheers!
