    Hi, Can anyone give me some advice. We have to totally re-plumb our house. I like to light a fire in living room but currently inherited a very poor gas one which we will remove I'm considering a stove with back boiler. I want to heat 8 radiators downstairs and also have heat from the stove to the living room. We have a further 7 radiators upstairs but I'd use the gas central heating for them as only need heat in early morning and before bedtime.. We're looking at getting solar panels to heat the water so I won't need the back boiler to do this. However,I don't want to spend my day shovelling coal and logs so I'm also thinking that a stove without a back boiler may be more suitable for. I don't have access to free solid fuel. The house is used during the day. We're getting external insulation also. So basically my question is would it be economical for me to get stove/backboiler or would stove alone suffice and any recommendations of suitable stove would be appreciated. Thanks.
