Running radiator off a Rayburn No.1 in Yurt

Hi there,

I hope someone can help. Me, the girlfriend and our little boy are in the process of moving into our 16ft yurt with a Rayburn Regent No.1 with back burner that we got off ebay. We were hoping to run a single radiator from it under a raised platform, about 6", above the deck were we sleep as primitve underfloor heating to keep the chill off.

I was originally thinking of simply connecting the radiator to the backboiler and filling the system by funnel. Although I've been told this may be a wee bit dangerous and likely to explode!

Do I need to connect a storage tank to feed the radiator? If so I have read elsewhere that the radiator needs to be above the tank - is this right? Also we have no mains water but fill up from a tap 50m away.

Hope you can help and give us some good advice on the best way to go forwards.... I suppose if it gets too complicated could always take the backboiler off.

Thanks for your help,

Mike
