Woodsplitr, what do you think of an Ice Vending Machine at a State Park? Something like this (attached) that would be available to campers 24/7.

Caddy If you don't mind me asking, what made you decide to install the damper? Was the draft to strong or too weak, or just some other reason? Please advise, thanks

ductwork hookup Just want to say thanks for the suggestions/advice. I was able to locate an HVAC installer who knew exactly what I was looking for and was able to suggest a very reasonable price for the work involved. I would have tackled this myself, but the intricacies of my metal...

Hello, I am in Farmington Hills, MI, and need to put together a plenum(2) that will connect my newwoodfurnace to my main furnace plenum and return. If anyone here is good at cobbling such things together, please let me know, thx! Most HVAC contractors don't want to do it w/o also providing me a...

Hello all (I posted about this in Heart as well). Again, I am getting ready to install my new 1950 (Caddy), and had another install question before I do. Last year, after screwing around w/ a Daka before selling it, I gave up on trying to solve my problem. Arrangement was that with the Daka...

I have a Daka add-on. I have finally completed my install, and I'm excited. However, my initial burn has been underwelming. Problem is no heat moving t/o the house. My Daka's 2 top 8" heat outlets are ducted to the main furnace plenum as described in the manual, yet when I turn on the main...

Thanks a bunch Brian. Very detailed pics there. I'll make sure to take some of my install as well. That pretty much matches what I am trying to do. I will also check out **********. Did you use triple pipe or dbl pipe?

Hello all, wood heating newbie here. I just purchased a Daka after much reading of this site. My house does not have a masonry chimney, so I will be building a metal ClassA chimney. Issue is that it will have to be a thru-the-wall setup, as opposed to going straight up thru the ceiling. Question...
