Combination Wood Stove and Gas fired Boiler?

jmddab asked:


Would it be benefitial to run a loop of pipe through my wood stove to heat the water the boiler would normally do? My wood stove is burning 16-18 hours a day anyways. Would this work on gravity (since the wood stove is directly above the gas boiler) or would I need to put a pump in?
