[QUOTE="joecool85, post: 1971141, member: 17847"] I have a couple questions about plumbing an outdoor wood boiler. I have an existing baseboard heat system, oil fired boiler, 2 zones and domestic hot water. 1200 square foot two story house, central Maine. I'm mostly interested in using the wood to heat my house, I can worry about the hot water later. I'd like to only run the pump for the owb when heat is called for, so I was planning on wiring it so that if either or both zones call for heat, the owb pump kicks in as well as the regular baseboard pump(s). Is this possible? Also, plumbing wise, would I need two plate exchangers (one for each zone) or just one? If just one, how do I hook it up to the large "black pipe" style water pipe feeding my oil furnance? [/QUOTE]
