- How do boiler stoves work? Richard takes us through how he uses his boiler stove to heat the radiators in his home alongside an air source heat pump. Let's take you through everything you need to know and watch our separate video on how Richard installed his.

Really interested in a back boiler stove multi-fuel
Looking at a Parkray looking for a medium sized this one seems too big
5 radiators two of them are double
Is there a recommended setting on the thermostat to get the radiators hotter?
Thanks for this video. Can you hook one of these up to an underfloor water, isolated, all electric system?
Thank you.
Yes. Any hydronics
Is that James Blunt?
Why does my multi-fuel stove cause my water tank to flush and bang and make all the pipe Work rumble and sounds sedimenty??
Hi, I am really interested in combining a wood stove with an ASHP, like you mentioned. Do you have a video on this or some info somewhere?
Hi, thank you for your question! Yes, we do indeed have a video coming very soon. We run through everything that Richard has done for this install. Keep an eye out on Sunday midday when we release our next video. 🙂
Our video is now available to watch on our channel. Here is the link to our installing a boiler stove video: ruclips.net/video/DnyDMQRXcqo/видео.html
could you have this, and a normal combi boiler, and/or heat pump feding the same radiators?
Although not impossible, it would not be advised as you would be attempting to install an open vent system with a pressurised system which would be complex and expensive. We would advise seeking the advice of a heating engineer for further information.
This is effectively what I have done with an Air Source Heat Pump but with a gas boiler it would be even easier, the combi-boiler would just take over when the boiler stove was low or out. I have a more in depth guide here:

Would you be able to answer few questions for me. I’ve exactly same stove. Can you talk more regarding thermostat potentiometer on the bottom left? How to operate most sufficiently this one. Second question is which water connections should be use along with Heatgeanie heat exchanger? Third: how to overcome chips/dirt inside burning chamber? Is it normal to have this sort of issue in this stove or perhaps there has been wrong plumbing at the back to circulate water so it’s not evenly circulated? Thank you in advance.
Great stuff, it is a good stove. The thermostat operates a damper valve in the stove and the idea of this is to try to even out the heat in the fire box by fuelling or restricting air flow. It is simple in principle, the higher the number, the more air goes to the fire box and the lower the more it restricts the air.
So if you want more heat out of the stove, set the number higher and if you want less heat and the fuel to last longer, set this lower. It is similar to a standard air control except it adjusts based on how hot the fire box is, so if you have it set in the middle for instance as the stove heats up beyond your setting it will start closing the damper to try to slow the fire down and reduce the heat and likewise, when it falls below your setting it will open up the vents to try to increase the heat from the fire. Of course you have to have enough fuel etc for it to do this and in either direction it is just a help, the other air vent settings, the fuel you are using, the amount of fuel you have on, you flue etc all have a bearing on this - but the idea is to just help get a more consistent heat from your stove.
The numbers are fairly arbitrary and don’t correspond to a particular temperate, you just need to use the principle of the higher the number the hotter the setting and play around with it until you get the balance right for your fuel and needs. It is worth pointing out too that you read the number at the top of the wheel - there is no pointer to mark what setting is being used and this can be confusing.
For your heat exchanger, if you are looking at the back of your stove from behind the stove the top right should be the outlet for your pumped side of the system and the return being the bottom left, so obviously from the front, you reverse this.
Not sure what you mean by chips / dirt in the chamber? Mine does collect soot around the water jacket if that is what you mean, these can be scraped off or if you are like me, it does not bother me and I don’t really notice them.
Thank you, really useful informations. I’ll keep learning about operating this stove as we go since we installed this stove recently. It’s will be its first winter with this one. All the best, regards Greg
Is there a recommended setting on the thermostat to get the radiators hotter?
I looked into this last year when I bought a multi fuel stove to link up to my gas boiler and use either to heat the house, I have a sealed central heating system [ no header tank in the loft] and it wasn't suitable, I have a standard boiler with hot water cylinder
Yes, you would need to add an expansion tank in the loft and a heat soak radiator but you can install these with a gas boiler or other boiler, you just need to ensure that the system is well designed.
This system, I guess, is only available in Europe...?
You should be able to get boiler stoves in your country too and the system would be designed to fit your home. Where are you based?
Oh hi@@glowing-embersUK , thanks for getting back, I already have radiators around the house (10), and really liked your Idea of the boiler stove! I am living in Quebec, Canada ; )
The answer is probably NO. I looked for these in the US / Canada market and could not find any. The hydronic market simply does not exist here like it does in Europe. It is the same reason why the selection of air to water heat pumps is much smaller in North America compared to Europe.
