Multifuel Stove With Back Boiler
A multifuel stove with back boiler can heat radiators and also providing hot water to the property. This can reduce heating costs.
The addition of a wood-burning stove with a built in back boiler to an existing central heating system is easy and can be completed by a qualified plumbing engineer. This article explains how.
Features
When a stove is fitted with a boiler, the heat that is produced by burning wood or any other fuel is used to warm the water in a hot water cylinder and to heat rooms. A boiler stove is also able to heat radiators throughout the home. If you are looking for a multifuel stove that has a back boiler then we have a wide selection to choose from. All of which come with a complete manufacturer's warranty.
A typical wood stove releases heat in one direction, as it passes through the flue outlet that is located inside the firebox. Multifuel stoves with back boiler generate more energy because the heat is distributed across multiple directions more efficiently. This means that more heat is directed into the room and less heat is lost through an outlet for the flue.
Once the heat from a multifuel woodburning stove that has a back boiler is used to warm the room, it is possible for this heat to be transferred elsewhere in the property by utilizing a pipe loop. This can lead to the heating of hot water cylinders as well as radiators, or a shower that is not pressurised. In most cases, a thermostat is installed to monitor the temperature of the hot water tank and switch on the pump for the radiators when this level is reached. This prevents the hot water from running out and ensures the hot water cylinder is able to provide a steady supply of hot water for domestic use.
The CSB multifuel stove with back boiler has an impressive power output of 21 kw. It can be used to power a whole house via the central heating system or even a domestic hot water cylinder. The CSB is a stove that can be used in a variety of ways that can burn wood logs, anthracite, brquettes, and smokeless fuel. It can also be operated as a separate wood burner that is heated by the thermosyphon system. The CSB is compatible with both open and closed central heating systems (not compatible with pressured systems). A CSB is typically supplied with a stainless steel thermal store or neutraliser tank.
Fuel type
The main difference between a standard multi fuel stove and a log burner that has a back boiler is that the latter features an integrated water tank that can heat domestic hot water supply and even radiators within your home. This feature makes boiler stoves a popular choice for environmentally-conscious homeowners who want to reduce their reliance on gas, oil or

Wraparound boiler stoves are the most well-known type of multifuel stoves with back boilers. They feature a water tank running along the sides and the back of the firebox. The boiler part of the stove is set so that it hugs the firebox. This increases the efficiency of heating and power output. Wraparound boiler stoves are available from a variety of leading manufacturers including Stratford and Hunter Stoves.
Another alternative is the clip-in boiler stove, which has a water tank which replaces the firebricks that are located at the rear of the stove's firebox. These stoves cannot produce large amounts of hot water because the boiler tank is smaller than the one of the wraparound stove.
You can put in a multifuel stove with a back boiler in your system in several ways however the most popular method is to pipe it as a radiator

You can also set up an electric wood stove with back boiler by connecting it to a multi-coil hot water tank or a heat accumulator. In this scenario, your stove will heat the hot water tank prior to sending it to your radiators via an electronic thermostat. This installation is more complex and should only by performed by a trained heating technician.
When a multifuel stove fitted with back burners is installed incorrectly, it can be dangerous. When the stove is in use by the water in the boiler could turn into steam. This could cause damage to the system if it's not correctly vented to explode.
Fuel supply
The heat produced by the stove's combustion can be transferred to a tank of water through a boiler unit that is integrated into the back. You can utilize the heat in your home to lower carbon emissions and energy bills. It also makes the stove more efficient because it prevents heat escaping up the chimney. This type of stove is often called a wetback wood-burning stove or a back boiler stove.
Modern multifuel stoves that have a back boiler include hot water cylinders that have the heating unit built into the body of the appliance. You can connect the stove to the domestic hot water system to heat your taps and radiators. Certain older models of boiler stoves have a separate hot-water cylinder, or 349338 (

This model features a large firebox with a large glass window made of ceramic that is complimented by an " advanced air wash system'to keep an unobstructed view of flames. This big stove comes with the top and bottom air vents (Primary & Secondary) to allow for simple but effective control of the burn rate and output. The chrome door handle and air controls provide a fashionable appearance to the stove.
When the stove needs more air, a thermostatic probe connected to the stove will open and close an additional vent at the rear. This increases air flow through the heat exchanger, which increases the output of room temperature.
The "Elegance B" models come with four water ports (2 return and 2 x flow) on the back of the stove. They can be shut off when only one circuit is needed. The stoves can heat up to 10 standard radiators and the domestic hot water system is properly plumbed in.
We offer a broad selection of wood burning stoves, including back boilers from the top UK manufacturers. We also have a broad range of boiler stoves, thermal stores and pumps for these models.
Installation
There are a variety of options for how a stove for a boiler can be connected to your central heating system. It is possible to connect it to a combi-boiler using a special adaptor, or you can add an energy storage unit that will allow your wood burning stove to feed the hot water system on its own (this requires an additional header tank that is located in the loft). It is also possible to make it priority for the hot water by connecting the radiator loop and heat loss radiators to the stove through injector tees and feeding the hot water system from this. A thermopile thermostat could be used to regulate the pump inside the loop of radiators. This will ensure that the system operates only after the stove has heated the hot water tank.
The addition of a wood burner with back boiler to an existing system could be fairly easy. It depends on the plumbing and system layout but most modern open vented systems can be connecting to a boiler stove little effort or cost. It is a good idea to consult a HETAS qualified person or a local plumber installer who is experienced with wet systems prior to installing multifuel stoves with back boiler.
A typical system would comprise a thermal store with an accumulator tank for hot water and woodburners with a back boiler installed in the firebox. The back boiler water ports are used to connect the stove to the system.
