    21KW is only 71,000 BTU's. It would be struggling IMO. How many BTU's is your oil/gas boiler? I would be guessing at 90 thousand.

    You might need the boiler to pre-heat the rads first and the stove might maintain it once the system is up to normal working temp.

    What type of heating system have you? Is it open vented or sealed?
    IMO it won't heat rads from cold.

    I have oil heating pressurized now. Plumber said that it has to be change for open vented. I would like to use oil boiler as well. In the morning turn on oil boiler to heat rads and later burn in stove to keep this temperature.
    Now I'm looking for good stove in good price and asking about this stove. If not this, can you recommend any stove?

    It should work once pre heated with the boiler and light the stove before the boiler is switched off.
    It will need to be open vented system.
    They are 14KW to the boiler and 7KW to the room.

    "The Modena Back boiler will power up to 14 radiators, based on an "average" calculation of 3000 BTU's per radiator. In a typical dwelling some radiators will require more than 3000 BTU's and some will require less".
    According to dealers are meant to heat up to 14 rads. BS IMO!

    I can't advise on quality of the stove as I have not seen this model but most are very much the same, it's down to your personal choice.

    Stanley stoves would be very popular.

    would be any problem to put this stove into existing fireplace? We would like to put this stove inside fireplace hide as much as possible in the wall.

    Hi ciekly
    Don't waist your money, a stove is either wood burning or it is multi fuel. This is advertised as being both. The secondary air inlets are positioned differently on a wood burning stove as it needs more air over the fire box, where as a multifuel stove will typically have a large primary air inlet under the grate for burning coal and also a smaller secondary air inlet to allow air in over the firebox to burn off all the gasses released by the wood as this burn off creates extra heat, hence the term multifuel.

    Also a stove made from metal plate will not last, when you continually heat and cool metal plate it hardens, eventually warps, and eventually cracks.... This process is caused by the change in the carbon molecules in the steel plate.

    As I said don't through your money away.

    If you need any more help please post.

    hi Ciekly,

    my advice is clear:if u want to heat ur house well u MUST go for a good Boiler stove which is:clearview,charnwood,nestor Martin or stratford for example.one particular model of startford will do ur Job,its a EB20 ecoboiler.its small enough compare to others with the same power.very good stove,around 1600euros i think.i would not go for a cheapest Option,never.Do it once and enjoy the heat!!

    good luck
