Hello, The chimney sweep has passed: clean duct a little soot -> normal. This means that the combustion is going well, and that the duct is well insulated (double stainless steel skin and duct to the outside).

Hi, To significantly increase the efficiency of my wood boiler (20kW wood - 25kW coal - rising combustion - natural draft), I placed 4 refractory bricks in the smoke path halfway: at equal settings (primary air and air shutter secondary) I saw the temperature decrease ...

Hi I am surprised that you last 4 hours with 1500L from 80 to 50 ° c for 160m² ... because as a compensation I have 200m² I have an 800L balloon and I go from 85 to 55 ° C in 5 hours or 26.5kWh or 5,3kWh.hour ... DHW included ... by 0 ° C outside I think you will have to review your insulation ... By cubic meter I need ...
