    Wood burning stove.

    Ahh, you see the ex got the completed renovation with appropriately sized grant combi boiler. I got the half finished project, dodgy Rayburn and assorted animals and children. Still think I got the better deal :D Maybe I should go take some pics for eBay..... Of the Rayburn, not the...

    Lol indeed It reminds me of middle child.... Threatens to deafen me and bankrupt me, but looks gorgeous! Maybe..... I could ... A) get it looked at by a proper engineer type person B) link in a boiler stove (see still not letting this one go!) C) if it still proves to be ridiculously...

    Wood burning stove.

    Agile, I think it is that Eco green inner self rearing it's head actually. I haen't looked at all of the data to see if it is worth my while financially or ecologically putting in pv cells. I have had a couple of quotes, at present I do not have the capital required, but may in the future. I do...

    Wood burning stove.

    There is already a cylinder stat fitted. Smething is switching the burner on and off somewhere as it doesn't fire continuously during the period it is timed to be on, not sure if it is this though, I have it set at 60degrees, but haven't tested what temp the water actually gets to, but having...

    Wood burning stove.

    Thanks :-) I will, but I still want rid of the Rayburn. The original plan had been to get rid of my wee gas cooker and use the Rayburn for cooking, and possibly have an additional electric hob in the new kitchen. I have only used it a couple of times for cooking, but when i have to use it...

    Wood burning stove.

    Lmao, that is one huge burner! It is a pressure jet Rayburn, with twin burner, one for oven the other for heating/hot water. I had suggested to my ex and his (plumber/electrician) friend who installed said appliance that I didn't think it was working right, because it should switch off when the...

    Wood burning stove.

    Yep, it heats the rads up, the thermostat clicks, but the Rayburn still fires (you can hear it burning) and the rads stay hot, pump is still going. In the rooms that the children remember to close the doors of, the trv's help moderate the temp, but downstairs where the doors are generally left...

    Wood burning stove.

    Lol, yes the radiators have trv's, and there is a room thermostat in the hall way. However, even if I turn that right down, the Rayburn still fires, which makes me think there is something not right with it, I have the boiler output turned down to about 1/3 which gives me a reasonable temp in...

    Wood burning stove.

    I currently have a 24kW oil fired Rayburn running my heating and hot water, and I am looking at replacing it with a wood burning stove with back boiler. My house is a traditional 1 1/2 story croft house that has been renovated, so it has 600mm thick rubble Walls, with 75mm insulation inside...
