    Not exactly plumping but..

    Had our old back boiler removed and replaced with a fireback yesterday. Back packed with sand, lime and vermiculite.

    How long should I leave before lighting a fire? Forgot to ask before he left. I read that the first few fires should not be too hot, so avoid coal and stick to... Wood or briquettes?
