[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 300384, member: 6969"] That's actually a very good question. The best way to organise multi source heating systems is with a heat store tank, but crucially those are fed from a header tank so no unvented tank issues. But you might well be right. Feeding a wood burning stove into an unvented tank would rely on a thermostat and a pump to dump heat. If there's a power cut (which is just the time you would be using the woodburner on full tilt) then there's nothing, apart from the over pressure and over temperature vent, to stop the tank becoming a bomb. This is beginning to look like a can of worms I might not want to open. although I didn't plumb the system (and would never do it that way if I did) is it a case of the last person to work on the system becomes responsible for it's safety? If so I may walk from this one. [/QUOTE]
