[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 330358, member: 6969"] So the log burner is piped to the tank with large pipes that give gravity flow. I assume the tank has two heat input coils, one for the log burner, one for the oil boiler. So you light the stove, water from the stove flows by gravity and heats the tank. If that's the case, no controls needed there. So what feeds the radiators? If this is a "conventional" tank, then the tank is for hot water only. "Turning on the pump" will start circulating water from the OIL BOILER to the radiators. That won't help you dump excess heat from the tank will it? I think (as is sadly often the case) the plumber didn't have a clue, and has plumbed it completely wrong. Do you have enough information to try and draw out the plumbing circuit? [/QUOTE]
