I was and still am pissed at the "knowledge" (O.K. from 10 to 15 year ago) which  "stated" that one sized the heatstore volume on boiler output, not the firebox size= total heat output,

and there was considerable variance in firebox sizes in the 30-50kW boilers I was looking at.

And simply because of the £ cost and footprint of the heatstores, they=those quoting for the work, always kept them as small as they could get away with.

Ditto for flue heights.

So I ended up with a 2200l on a 40kW, and in hindsight reckon double that would have been better fit.

Ditto for the 5.5m flue height.
