I apologize to rise this thread from the grave. However, I am officially going with wood and it is ready to go for this winter. Here is my plan and let me know what you think.
I was going to buy a wood stove then put heating water coils like here in it: Wood Stove Hot Water Coil I6T Kit Hydronic Domestic Heating Wood Coal Stoves | eBay
Then connect it to a heat exchanger and use my existing furnace fan to blow over the exchanger to heat the whole house. Therefore, I will heat my entire house off of one stove which will be very nice and efficient. My question is has anyone ever done this or have experience with this.
How many coils would you need?
