    The flow out of the stove must rise all the way to the top of the coil on the cylinder. The return should always stay below or level with the flow pipe is basically how it works. Make sure to vent the flow at the highest point by the cylinder. Make sure you know how it works or you could get into serious trouble when you light the stove.
