Not sure if I understand you but our H2O coil basically preheats and is like a helper for domestic H2O. I think it works pretty well but our owners can give you their own feedback.
Does it fit into the firebox? Or does it mount between the firebox and the jacket?
Now I here there is a tax credit of $300 for 2013 retro active for 012 also.
So I'm eligible?
I talked to Keith for over an hour on the phone last yr when I was looking around for a wood furnace. He was very nice on the phone. However, he put down caddy, and kuuma constantly. Stating that there's no way to get emission #s like that etc without creosote build up. Constantly cursing etc. Yes some things he said were true , but bashing someone else's product without ever having first hand using it is bad.
I never bought a furnace last yr and decided to think things over. I finally decided on the kuuma. And I'm proudto say I'm glad that I did. I never see smoke coming out of my chimney and my house is toasty warm. The only time I see smoke is when I load it. That lasts a max of 15 min.
How many square feet are you heating with your KUUMA and how has it performed to date, thanks

I'm confused... Do you own a Kuuma or not?
Some of what you said isn't true and not sure what you're getting at.
I've never left my ash door open to "help" the draft. There was 2 times that I had a problem starting my Kuuma last yr. When the barometric pressure was very low during heavy rain fall. It wanted to back flow. Once I got a good fire going, things went as it was suppose to. In my set-up, I have two 45deg elbows before hitting a 90deg through the wall thimble.
The furnace does idle and isn't sealed up which creates creosote. When weather is really mild (upper 40s-low50s) my house is plenty warm. 78ish. I have my thermostat set at 76. Would I rather have a warm house or a creosote filled chimney?? Hmmm. I'd like to keep my house. And opening a couple windows up in my house is very simple. When you do open up a couple windows, it does 2 things. 1. It cools my house. 2. I get fresh oxygen rich air in my house which is healthy!.
I'm not sure why you're telling us this furnace doesn't have a secondary gasification burn?? Have you not looked directly above the door after opening it? Guess that's there for decoration?
Either way. My Kuuma heats my house very well. It is a clean burn. And I use way less wood..
I was wondering the same thing but he is talking about his Yukon, because he doesn't own a Kuuma. Probably should have started his own Yukon review thread.![]()
