Want to add second back boiler to heating circuit

    I am living in a dormer house for the past 10 years. I currently have a Stanley Erin stove with back boiler in my main living area, this is supposed to heat the downstairs of the house (18 rads) but fails miserably, the rads never get beyond lukewarm usually. This is probably down to the fact that the Stanley Erin is only designed to heat approx 8 rads.

    So my plan is, buy a Boru Carraig Mor 30kw stove for the main living area, and move the Stanley into my sitting room, I have just an open fire there at the moment without a back boiler, this fire is directly behind the fire in the living area.

    My question is, would it be relatively easy to plumb the second back boiler to the heating circuit, seeing as the two fireplaces are back to back?

    Would this be a good solution to my problem, I would be hoping to install a valve to allow any excess hot water to flow into the upstairs rads if both fires were on at once.

    Any advice welcome
