Very good idea using the hot water tanks. More capacity that’s insulated and with the 4, it’s chambered well 👌🏻

Yeah I’m excited to see how it handles when the snow melt system is running.

Very interesting. As far as the elbows , you don’t want to see my system in my basement for my boiler. To heat hot water and house. I did some research and found a magnetic 🧲 filter. My tank stainless at wood boiler. Nothing as far as rust. Or metal should be in system. First two times cleaning. Very impressive the black baby powder metal on filter rod shaft. I will send you the model and company. That’s metal not clogging my exchangers. The filter if I remember correctly was designed for pressurized boiler systems. Not open. It works fantastic. Weird to clean. The magnet super strong. Enjoy your channel.

Cool!

Great job I love this type of experimentasian. I would probably get rid of those elbows. I believe they're going to. Impede the flow. I'm Stand by for more great informative videos

Yeah I probably will get rid of the elbows. I know they slow down the flow a bit. Thanks for watching.

Can you store 185 F water in those tanks? Are you concerned that they aren't rated for temps that high? I'm thinking of doing the same with my indoor boiler that only has a 30 gallon jacket.

@mattfelice3870 yes you can. Rated up to 120 degrees I believe with a relief valve of 115. It’s in my loop so when boiler is at idle the water in there is around 185

Hey Matt, question for you on the additional heat storage - are they just plumbed in as a separate loop from the G10000, out of the boiler into the hot water tanks and then back to the boiler? I'd really like to see what you've devised for a distribution system / manifold for all of the loops for the different things you're heating. I've got the same G10000 and I'm heating our house and my shop with it, but I really like the idea of running a wood drying kiln with it too. You're definitely getting your money's worth out of that boiler. Keep up the good work!

With my garage loop. I have one current loop for both garage heaters and the snow melt system. Only reason I don’t have them on a 3/4 loop system is because I don’t always hear the garage. So I wouldn’t want the water to just sit there and freeze. Because if we go on vacation which we do in the winter. If I stuff the boiler full and just heat the house I can get 3 days no problem. I don’t heat the garages just leave the loop running so the water don’t freeze. I may put a system in for that. But my kiln is on the loop but only pulls when being used. Just know you will go through a lot of wood to heat a kiln.

@@Treestofirewood That makes sense. Thanks for answering that. I still have my old Portage and Main boiler and I'm thinking I might use that, since it's sitting idle right now, for my kiln build. The only thing is that I'd need to add glycol to it because I would run it occasionally. The downside to that is glycol is expensive. Do you have a good source for that at a reasonable price?
