(More customer reviews)I installed the Magic Heat Exchanger at my camp on a wood burning Franklin Stove and it was easy to install. It took about 40 minutes to cut out a section of the 8" flu pipe and place it in. Be warned, you will probably need to have a set of hand crimpers to make this work right. The top pipe will have to have a crimp. The bottom pipe needs to be straight to fit into the exchanger's crimp. I used an abraisive blade on a hand held circular saw to make the cuts. I suggest using a few small self tapping screws to make it tight. The unit was also missing a few screws on the sheet metal in the back. Fortunately, I had a few extra about the same size and made the repair. All the other screws were loose and I snugged them up. How did it work? Real good. It was the first year that the Franklin stove heated up the entire camp without firing up the propane stove in the other room. The downside is that this unit is rather noisy. If you can handle the loud fan then you will love it. Also the exchanger reduces the draft a bit. If your draw is barely making it then the Magic Heat may cause your stove to smoke. I now have to run the stove with the damper wide open. If I get 10 years or better out of it I'll call it a great success. FYI, my brother in law has an old coal stove and a 6" Magic Heat Reclaimer in his wood shop. He loves it. That is why I got one for myself. The 6" and 8" exchangers are based on the same size box and guts are the same. Just the Flu is different in size.
