Indoor Wood Boiler - Update 2

Had to whip out the digital video cam to get the still pics because of the aforementioned issue with digital camera. Maybe I'll up a video to show the cycle one of these days.

Anyway, the boiler is working really well & there's just a few things to tidy up. One is the conduit for the electricity wires & I also need to finish the cover for the reserviour.

Here are some explanatory pics -

The actuator is shown here in the closed position.






The plastic pipe shown is rated for 180 degree water. Suprisingly, it's not hot to the touch like copper or steel piping. Does this thick plastic have decent insulating properties?

Hello,
Your woodstove add-on is great! We are interested in building something similar. Do you have any more information or directions?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
