Feeling Fuelish...

[BIG MAC]

Hi all,

Have just joined and would like to say I have found the site very interesting and informative so far.

I have read Opel Fruit's thread re oil fired heating and was impressed, my problem is that my chosen method of heating is solid fuel....a logburner with backboiler to be precise.

Back in Britain we would tend to install these systems as "vented" using an open vent combined Fand E arrangement on primary and domestic HW cicuits. lLooking at the make up units etc which are stipulated for oil fired does anyone know whether the same rules apply for solid fuel?

I have purchase an elderly but hooge Quebb Master Multifuel stove and was intending to have a pumped primary heating circuit for space heat plus a gravity circulating circuit serving both domestic HW cylinder heating coil and towel rail as a heatsink for when fire is damped or there is a pump failure.

Any guidance anyone can provide re French Building Codes etc gratefully recieved.

 

Thanks.
