  1. wood burning rayburn

    in Firewood forum

    Posted

    We had Wood-only Rayburn (345W) fitted just over a year ago, can't fault it.

    Ours is connected to a thermal store (along with log-burner in living room). This produces central heating and mains pressure hot water for a 3 bed semi (9 rads). We do 99% of our cooking on it as well.

    Couldn't tell you how many logs we get through but it is probably around 15cubic metres, mixture of hardwood and softwood. The 345W will only take logs, not designed for any other fuel such as coal.

    We can get it up to 200 centigrade in a couple of hours from a cold start (have had it over 250 when not paying any attention to it). The great thing is, if you like cooking, the oven and hot-plates are on all the time. Gets a good clean out every four weeks so we let it go cold for this.

    If you have to buy in your logs it will be quite expensive to run.

     

    I'm fascinated as to how you get mains pressure for your hot water. I though you could only achieve gravity pressure from a vented system? Are you using some sort of pump?

     

    Thanks!
