What output to water will the woodburner give you?

I'm considering a 12kW woodburner with 6kW estimated to the hot water.

So 6kW to the room... This is a large room or one very poorly
insulated then?

Very high room with a different layout to the UK. It's "piano nobile" which
means that the stove will heat three rooms.

You don't want a Coalbrooke Dale Muchwenlock stove with boiler do
you?

Are you offering free transport?

Sneaky feeling that you aren't in the UK though.

Saw through my cunning plan, eh?

That's the only option that I have.

The cautious side of me says "what happens if there is no power"...

The diesel generator with ATS should cut in. If it doesn't then I'll have
to start the petrol gennie.

Thats just when I'll be wanting to have the woodburner on not off
'cause the store is overheated.

I went for the DPS because of the tech support which is outstanding, the
high output of the plate heat exchanger, and the fact that the exchanger
can be changed if necessary.

Our water is soft so scale is not a problem. It's also "what happens
if the power is off" again. KISS and passive rules... I'm almost
presuaded about mains pressure HW or at least HW from the mains via a
pressure reducing valve but not having stored water makes me nervous.

UPS, generator, 1200 ft above sea level so no chance of a tsunami. What
could possibly go wrong?
