Multifuel stove - water heating.

evilgoose

I fairly set that I'm going to install a multifuel stove in my house.
At present there is no heating installed in the house, though I am due to have a combi boiler c/h system installed.

I dont really want to use the stove as the central heating system, but I'm wondering about getting a stove which has a backboiler, but I'm not sure how to utilise the hotwater it will produce (when its lit).

We have a coal fired stove that heats the water and radiators in every room. We do use a fair bit of coal but the house is toasty warm (apart from the back room in the dead cold weather) and we can have tons of baths every day if we wanted Plus you can turn the control right down to 0 and that banks the fire right down, so it only needs filling once every 24 hours. I didnt pay for it as this is a council house, but I would recommend this type of heating to anybody..and in power cuts you're laughing.
