Simon & oilman; Am I missing something here 
The normal product training from a manufacturer does not make you officially approved does it? I thought this would entail more in depth training like their own engineers do.
I would never deem to call myself approved even though I always attend manufacturers training schemes. I am an Ideal 'prefered' installer, but they have not realised I don't fit their boilers anymore

There's not much to know about an oil boiler, they are a water jacket and a blowlamp. The blowlamps use standard parts, and other than that there's a couple of thermostats. They can probably estimate whether you will be an embarrassment if they send you somewhere. If so you won't be approved.
Nor would I, that's for them to do, I'm just on the list.

Are you familiar with these oilman ?.

It says the "FCX is a dual circuit boiler which can provide up to three heating circuits at different temperatures"
What does this mean ?.
Would you describe this particular boiler as a " water jacket and a blowlamp" ?
Or just aesthetically pleasing to the eye ?

The boiler part is still only a water jacket and a blowlamp. In this case the blowlamp is a Sterling burner, possibly a ST108. As for the aesthetically pleasing appearance, do people care? It's a boiler and should be relegated to a utility or plant room, not the main feature in a living room.

They sure do.
Ain't you ever fitted one of these before ?.
Almost 4 k of pure elegance and weighing in at almost half a ton. People in my area love these.
It's a back breaking job shifting them though. I've seen up to six people pushing and shoving and it just sitting there as if bolted to the floor.

Yes, seen these. We are an installer and service agent for Heritage and Vintage cookers.
The delivery guys normally turn up on their own and move them on steel rollers and wedges/levers. We normally have them in position in just a few minutes. Flights of stairs are a problem, just like they used to be to the Daleks.

I Have never seen a geminox but the pictures look very similar to the first of the worcester oil steamers, could it be badge engineering ?.
I do allot of cooker work and if you know what you are doing and have the kit, moving them on your own is not a problem.
The grant marketing plan, err sorry approved engineer scheme has done wonders for their sales along with ditching the monoflame burner .

Just a few steel rollers and a lever and it's usually in. Rather than posting Dinky toy pictures, why not ring up the manufacturers yourself.
We work with this type of stuff and it's irritating to argue with someone who clearly has no experience in the field of heatstore cookers, just a lot of opinion. If I want an opinion, I'll get the Daily Mail.
