Mastering Magix Heat Ytove: Tips and Tricks for Beginners

The Magix heat stove is a revolutionary product in the field of home heating systems. It is designed to provide efficient and environmentally friendly heating for residential and commercial spaces. The stove combines advanced technology with a sleek and modern design, making it both functional and aesthetically pleasing. One of the key features of the Magix heat stove is its ability to produce heat through a process called catalytic combustion. This innovative technique allows the stove to burn fuel at a lower temperature while still producing a high level of heat output. This not only reduces the amount of fuel needed for heating but also minimizes emissions of harmful pollutants into the atmosphere.

This not only reduces the amount of fuel needed for heating but also minimizes emissions of harmful pollutants into the atmosphere. The stove is equipped with a user-friendly control panel that allows individuals to easily adjust the temperature and heating settings according to their preferences.

I purchased a new stove this year. I have a 2200 square-foot house it won't heat my house above 65. It's a US 2000 stove model it should be heating 2000 square feet. We are burning seasoned oak maple and Elm. It's in a finished basement with an open stairwell beside it. It was suggested to get a magic heat reclaimer. I'm torn about the heat reclaimer should I get one or replace the stove? If new stove do you have any recommendations? I live in Minnesota.

Hey Matt welcome aboard. Magic heat reclaimers have a bad rep around here since they remove heat from your stack that is needed to keep exhaust going up and out w/o causing creosote to deposit.

Is the basement getting warm and you can't get the heat where you want or no heat at all. No heat can be the fact that basements can suck heat endlessly but can also be due to lousy wood.

Basic first question; How long has your wood (what kind) been cut split and stacked (CSS)?

Some of the wood is a year some of it is only 10 months all split and stack nicely. My basement can get up to 69 and the upstairs would be at 65. I didn't know if it's because I got the stove from tractor supply and it says it can heat 2000 square-foot so I thought it be fine for the size of my house.

Magic Heat is junk you don't want.

Wood stoves are space heaters. Getting any of the heat upstairs from a basement is tough.

An uninsulated basement will suck up more heat than your stove can put out.

Your wood is certainly not optimal.

So does the wood sizzle from the ends on startup and reload?

Matt, welcome. The Magic Heat is not a solution for a modern stove. If your US 2000 is not heating the house well there could be several explanations. It could be the house is poorly insulated and leaky, it could be the stove is too small, it could be that the stove location is poor, or it could be that the wood is not dry. Modern stoves want fully seasoned wood.

I suspect you are dealing with two situations. One is the basement. The stove is an area heater. Heating remotely from a basement is hard. A lot of the heat is lost right through the basement walls and heat is often only able to migrate upstairs via a narrow stairwell. The other issue is the wood. Oak takes at least a couple years to season. At one year it is still damp which cools the fire.

That stove is a not-too-big 1.9 cu ft, which CAN heat 2000 sq ft, but maybe not in MN. that's why they say "up to" 2000 sq ft.

I'm not surprised that upstairs is only 65, for the reason a stove is a space heater, but am surprised the stove is only heating a finished basement to 69. So in addition to the wood not being optimal, it may be also that your flue setup in not optimal, either. Is it a six-inch pipe top to bottom, or a clay liner?

You are not getting the most out of that stove, even though you may indeed need a larger stove (or one upstairs) to get all the output you want. I would second the opinion that you may not be getting the secondary combustion that stove is designed to get, with two-year wood and an optimal flue setup.

The question I have is who finished the basement and how did they do it? My biggest question is how did they insulate it? I would peek behind electrical covers and see what it looks like. If it is 2X4s with R19 and no vapor barrier and no gap between the foundation and studs it is going to take a lot to heat it.

As a point of reference my carriage house / shop has a radiant floor heat.24 X 32 with 6 inches of concrete sitting on top of 6 mil poly and 3 1/2 inches of high density foam along with 800 ft of pex tubing rebar etc. When it was built the heat was not done until Dec. 1 and it took 24 hours with a 70k btu net boiler to get it to temperature and it never stopped or went off on high limit. So that is around 56000 lbs. of well insulated floor for the floor to be heated before the room gets heated.

This made it incredibly frustrating to cook meals, as I constantly had to adjust the heat to compensate for the stove's inefficiency. On top of that, the stove's knobs were poorly designed and difficult to use. I would definitely not recommend this product. Save yourself the trouble and invest in a better quality stove.

I wouldn't recommend this product to others.
