Always wondered which is the better of the 2?oil(kerosene) is getting pretty expensive these days would there be any benefit of using lpg gas over kerosene?

nevermind oil or gas, they are both going up in price all the time...

a multi fuel stove is a better option with or without a back boiler

regarding installing a back boiler stove into an existing heating system, this is possible, a friend of mine got this done for a 4 bed house and he is saving a fortune.. it was an expensive installation...very good stove and expensive fireplace...

he runs the central heating till the rads are nice and hot and then switches it off letting the stove keeping the rads nice and hot...

that is what a plumber would know....most fireplace shops that sell stoves would have a good r.g.i./plumber, to do that kind of work
