    Hello Folks, I want your good advice on the best way to have a back boiler stove fitted into an existing fireplace, I want to keep if possible the fireplace that I have and would like the stove sitting out slightly however if I remove the original fireplace hearth it will be sitting lower, is it possible join up another hearth to the one that is there and would this be suitable to have a stove in situe?

    I have a 3 bed bungalow, I am thinking of getting the Stanley Erin Stove, the cylinder etc is right beside the fireplace for getting the back boiler work done, there is no previous back boiler installed, so it makes the job that bit easier having the cylinder next to it, I am also putting in a new outdoor condenser boiler to replace 40 year old boiler that has had its day, I am also going for this grant for the heating controls hope they are worth it :).

    Stanley Erin won't fit there without taking it some of that fireplace, they are a big stove.
    You will need a new dual coil cylinder too

    I will be getting the new dual cylinder installed as well, there is 10 rads in the house, what type stove would you recommend for this type fireplace? as its a relatively new one I would not like having it ripped out, is the back boiler really worth the hassle? For example can the Erin Stove be installed directly in front of that firplace opening with the flue directly going up from back of the stove?
