Just wondering isn’t it bad practice to run the pipe going to the expansion tank with 90 degree angles because of air locks , I’m just learning about these systems as I want to design my own home but where we want the stove, there will not be a loft /attick space directly above it to run the pipe to the tank.

Had a difficult time getting baffle plate to stay up, as it didn't seem to fit from the lugs to the front. Firebricks held it up, but needed two pairs of hands to get everything back up. No need to unscrew the other lugs at all.

Hi was just wondering if youd be able to help? My stove is dripping water on the inside? Any information is appreciated.

I have a new boiler stove and the instructions specifically give the option of using an open OR closed system . The gas or oil boiler connection is via an injector tee. My system all works by gravity although I also have a pump. Hence as a rural property if there is a power cut it all keeps working.

Can I use flexible straight down through the roof or does it need some kind of housing ?

To many Hum’s. just require facts.

If you live in a housing estate, or you have several neighboring properties of the same build AND you may end up selling in the next 10 years then get a HETAS 'engineer' to install and sign off the stove otherwise the buyers will beat you done on price if its not approved and it will get messy and extend the sale cycle. I can't foresee a HETAS engineer just signing off a self installed burner on inspection as they have no way of assessing the flue liner, or anything above the plate above the burner, or material construction of the surrounds, hearth etc, etc without charging you accordingly - You can do all the initial prep' and final finishing like plastering and making good etc. your self but pay silly money for them ti install the flue and burner, it will remove one nag from your property sale. If on the other hand you live in an area where your property is unique and you have no intention of moving for the foreseeable then crack on - BUT make sure you read up on the risks of CO2 and safety requirements in terms of installing a proper flue liner and fire riske etc,

How would incorporate this into hot water for taps in downstairs kitchen and upstairs bath room please

Thats a fairly handy design. Have you heard of NRG awareness in County Cork? I use them for design and supply now I'm in ireland previously UK. Do a lot of interlink systems, stoves and heatpumps. Just one note, Your stat needs to be on the return and set to 50°c, if you have water returning to the stove below 50°c you'll get condensation and the stove will rust away in 5 years. Seen it happen. I have an henley, it's in the manufacturers instructions. 😊

Do you rate the mammoth fire ?

14% less wood because of that little fan? What a load of %#"¤%it :)

This doesn't actually address the problem, by allowing the fire to die and burping there is almost no smoke to cause a problem, you then have to open the vents to get the logs burning, wasting heat up the flue. Refuelling should be done whilst the fire is burning, if it smokes back in the room it has a problem, could be an over long flue, flue not high enough above the ridge, not enough airflow in the room.............. ad nauseum.

Great video, very informative, thanks

Hi there So I have made a contraption I call a vacuum linkup. It is a wood stove link to any raidiator system without all that fafing,, Is there still a market for it? It is safe if you loos power to control and pumps, but works better with power.

What number shoukd dial be on

Hi Richard , I Francesco I m a qualified gas engineer, I got a customer that want to install a log burner on the existing heating system and also keep the boiler. The fire is a 30 kw , and i m thinking to use a plate to plate heat exchanger. How do can I calculate the size of the plate and where can I buy it ? Thanks

How strong is it on cleaning

Why not use a motorised valve to direct the heat to the heat bleed radiator when the stove gets too hot. Thatthe system I use. You can manually overide them but better still have a battery back up system or generate for the whole house to keep things running in case of a power cut.The amount of timber required to heat a house is huge and you need a massive wood storage facilty. Unless you get your timber virtually free it just makes no sense. An oil fired boiler is the cheapest form of heating. It might not be all that green but the modern boilers are 96% efficient and the output is condensation unlike a wood burner that polluts the atmosphere.

I think you just solved the mystery of why my stove isn't heating the room- there's no register plate and it's at the back of the fireplace.

I grew up with a fireplace in the house. As most homes in my home country at that point, was located in the living room where the only TV was located (no internet not phones no nothing). It was great to warm your bones beside the fire and just watch fire go over some pipes. Those pipes were heating water but it was water for the boiler only. So we had hot water for showers etc, not for radiators. Still was such a good time to live in.

It's beautiful, it's beautiful, it's beautiful, it's true. I saw Richard's face, by a fireplace, so I'll be buying two.

wot holes for in black flu pipes

Great video.. I have an old Parkray room heater with a back boiler but no one knows anything about them… can you point me in the right direction? Set up in the house seems very similar to what you just described, an open tank in the loft etc.

This is perfect very well broken down and informative , massive help thank you sir 👍

Thanks for info

What is the most energy efficient boiler stove ?

Thanks very informative and timely for me, as I am in contract for a house in Ireland. Regards from North Carolina

That was very informative. Thank you.

Does an inset stove like this need a hearth per regs?

Hi i cant find this on the website

Could you install this system in a bungalow with a heat soak radiator in the loft space. I did wonder if the expansion tank gets hot where does the evaporated water go? Is it in the air which could potentially condense in the loft space causing issues. Im moving into a bungalow and love the idea of heating my house with the stove alongside gas/oil.

Thx A great explanation!

Can't watch. Smug brit accent and slow pace.

The problem is if you don’t have outside air directly into the stove you will actually cool your home!! It’s a leagal requirement in most states in the USA because of this!!

I saw the regulation in J about flue systems having to have a min height of 4.5 metres, but when installing a 4kw stove in an upstairs room 4.5 m woukd take the flue far too high off the pitched roof. Is it not the case that you need to have up to the ridge line in this type of installation or a min of 1metre of flue outside the pitched roof ? There are no adjacent buildings by the way. Thanks for the great vid

That explains absolutely nothing 😂

May I ask what the price you are getting from the factory for 20mm boards?

Brilliant video - I am looking at something like this, but wonder if you can still do it if you I can't directly put big radiator over fire - it can still be above fire, but will need to be 5 meters away.

We have one of these but we find it doesnt give out any heat

Hi great videos What about installing into conservatory?

Are those boiler stoves available in canada?

What is the name of this wood stove and model? I live in Northern California and I'm looking for a stove like this but maybe a little smaller

Good video

I'm no heating engineer but I visualise having a hot water tank with multiple coils in for wood burning boiler and ASHP, and heating if thats how the heating works. So essentially the ASHP and stove keeps the hot water tank upto temperature and the hot water and heating will come off a coil. I think that's how i'd like to do ours when we get to that point of the reno. Great video explaining everything.

Just out of curiosity, why is there two sets of firebricks on either side? Generally on stoves I’ve noticed theirs just the one firebrick either side.

all air going up the chimney, is replaced by air sucked into the house from outside. This is why too big of a furnace, can struggle to keep your house warm.

Really interested in a back boiler stove multi-fuel Looking at a Parkray looking for a medium sized this one seems too big 5 radiators two of them are double

Great video thanks ☺️ I have 21 kw multi burner stove but not got the boiler connected but will now get this sorted given me motivation thanks

Hi matey do you still need a hearth for reg

Great video mate! I was under the impression that you had to have a metallic expansion tank because of the potential heat from the stove ?
