    Help......
    I recently purchased a HPB stanley erin stove only to discover that i have a sealed/pressurised heating system.....! I wish to run the solid fuel stove with a gas fired central heating system (calor, metered,not standing tank). My research online today has led me to two possible options (i think).
    1) It is possible to add an expansion tank to the existing system, thus making it open vented. Also adding a heat exchanger to the outlet of the stove, and connecting both stove and gas boiler into it. I understand this may cure water pressure issues but does it solve pump failure/no power situations...?

    2) The other alternative is a 'thermal store' or 'heat bank', these are multi-fuel cylinders that seem (to me at least) to allow the use of stoves in a unvented system. I think they are mainly used in conjunction with solar panels.

    If the above is correct which, if any, are possible and least expensive and most simplistic...? Please advise. Thank you.:confused:
