Wood Burning Stoves

[scott_01]

Does anybody on here run a wood burning stove with a back-boiler / heat accumulator system to provide hot water and heat for a house?

If so then I've loads more questions to ask.....

Hi,

I did. Now installed oil central heating. However, can probably answer many of your questions.

Cheers

Thanks guys

The first few questions:

1. What type of stove and accumulator did you have?

2. How big was your accumulator?

3. How hot could you get the body of water with one load of wood?

4. How long did the accumulator retain usable heat for?

5. How far away was the accumulator from the Stove?

Cheers
