Multi Fuel Stoves With Back Boiler

A multi-fuel stove with a back boiler is used to heat your home and provide hot water. They have two water ports (1x return and 1x flow) that are 1 inch BSP size and can be connected using standard compression fittings.

Features

Multi fuel stoves can be paired with back boilers to use a variety of materials apart from logs. This gives you more options for heat sources and helps you reduce your carbon footprint. This is possible because multi fuel stoves were made to work with a greater variety of substances and burn them more productively than wood burning stoves. Multi fuel stoves with a back boiler can burn smokeless coal turf, peat briquettes or turf as well as traditional logs. These stoves can be equipped with a raised grates and moving bars, or with a central riddling grate and an asphan. Both of these will let the stove de-ash frequently. Ash will be stored in an asphan beneath the combustion area, to ensure the safe and efficient removal.

Boiler stoves offer a heat output of up to 21 kw (14kw for water heating and 7kw for space heating) dependent on the model selected. They can be connected into hot accumulator tanks and/or a conventional boiler or system that allows them to work with solar panels when needed. The boiler is situated inside the stove and is typically located on the back or side of the firebox. It is made out of a thick, rolled steel, not fragile cast iron.

This means that it's built to withstand greater temperatures than cast iron stoves and thus is less susceptible to rust. The boiler is pre-fitted or purchased separately. There are usually two pipes (or sometimes four) that extend out from the back of the stove to connect to plumbing pipes.

These pipes can be connected to a hot water cylinder or directly into the radiator circuit in your home, and pumps will switch on when the water temperature in the tank reaches the desired level. This ensures that your radiators are heated first, before the hot water for cooking and bathing is available - a great method to keep your bills low while also preventing cold winter conditions.

Benefits

The inclusion of a back boiler to multi fuel stoves provides additional benefits when heating your home. A multi-fuel stove with back boilers will heat your hot water in addition to the heat generated by burning wood or other solid fuels. This means you can cut down on the amount of gas, electricity or oil you consume in your home, and reduce carbon emissions.

The heat produced by the multi-fuel stove with the back boiler is used to heat the cold water that flows through the bottom. The hot water is used to heat your home and can even be used to heat domestic hot water taps as well as bathing too.

When properly installed, a boiler stove can be used to provide hot water to a small or larger central heating system or thermal store, resulting in greater energy efficiency and lower energy bills within your home. It can be paired with solar panels or underfloor heating to further reduce energy costs and reduce carbon footprint.

A multi-fuel stove that has back boiler can be used to run a small, simple central heating system that burns wood or to connect to the hot accumulator tank making it a remarkably adaptable and cost-effective way of heating your home. You can even combine log burners and back boiler with your existing gas central heating system to save money on the installation and running expenses.

Stoves that are eco-friendly make use of up to six times less fuel than older models and will help you save on your fuel costs as well as cutting the environmental footprint.

Other models feature a 'water-jacket' where the body of stove has a cavity which can be filled with hot water, and sometimes with an electric pump.

Installation

The Ruben is a striking stove that features a large ceramic window and silver door handles/controls and a back-boiler integrated to provide central heat and hot water (up to 7kw water heating and 8kw room heating). It has two water ports on the rear of the stove (1x flow & 1x return) with a size of 1.0 inch BSP (male 1 inch). "''). It is able to be used with either vented or unvented stoves.

A multi-fuel stove with back boilers can be attached to a central heating system with a simple non return valve or to a thermal storage tank with an overheat valve. A thermal storage tank is an insulated water tank that acts as a neutral point for the heat generated by the stove and stores it until it's required.

If you want to install a wood stove with back boiler, you'll have to ensure that your local authority is able to allow it and that the insurance company is satisfied with the work completed on a stove that isn't listed as having a back boiler.

In most cases, you'll have to replace the plumbing in order for this to be feasible.

If your installer is experienced in this type of work, they'll be able to give you suggestions on what's required. Beware of sanitary plumbing engineers who claim to be solid-fuel heating engineers. They might not be aware of the principles of this type of system. We at Stovesellers have been called upon on numerous occasions to fix the mess caused by other tradesmen. We only urge you to choose an engineer who understands the basics of what they do.

It is crucial to know that you'll require an extra large cylinder for a multifuel stoves stove with back boiler. Also, the heat output of the stove must be carefully matched to the property so that you do not run out of water and wasting money. This can be accomplished by dividing the total cubic meter of the room (length x width x height) by 14 and choosing the most appropriate model based upon this data.

Maintenance

A multi-fuel stove that has back boiler is an appliance which can heat hot water and radiators. These types of stoves are ideal for those who live in smaller houses or need to reduce their carbon footprint by not being so dependent on central heating systems that use gas.
