Adding Stove to existing water/heating system

[Forresian]

Hi there, anyone got any good sites showing reasonable diagrams that explain the integration of a multifuel stove with an existing water/heating system ?

Current sys is gravity HW pumped CH, from an oil fired boiler (quite old). Boiler has 2 inputs/outputs. One for HW the other for the heating.

Hi again, been looking further at this integration of a boiler in a wood burning stove into my existing system. I follow the reasoning behind the equaliser, however, perhaps someone might give these diagrams a quick glance.

Diagram 1 shows my existing oil fired gravity hot water and pumped central heating. If you are wondering if I have omitted any controls, I haven't !!! Thats it !

Diagram 2 shows what I hope to achieve. I noticed here that the chap suggests introducing the stove in series with the existing boiler.

My idea would then be to introduce a pipe stat on the HW output from the stove that would switch the existing CH pump on independently of the timer switch IF the stove was heating the water above a preset temp.

Thoughts
