• Poor output to water - not what's wanted from a boiler stove

  Nick Rogers 9 years ago

  Installed 16HE boiler in November and have tried everything to get a decent output to water. Regardless of burning wood or "superheat" smokeless coal, this boiler will only output a maximum
  water temp of 60c. Testing at boiler input and output pipes, when the input is about 35c the output can be 52c, then when the accumulator is returning 52c to the boiler input the max output is only 60c. And nothing will get it to output hotter than 60c, which for radiators is useless. Cold water in the rads mixes with the flow from the accumulators bringing the temp down to 50s and quickly to 40s. A boiler stove should output 80c and this one doesn't.

• Stratford 16he g4 boiler stove

  David McLeod 9 years ago

  We have just installed this stove to replace a hunter 80b boiler stove, the stratford is a much smaller stove and only consumes about half the fuel of the hunter and does the same work efficiently
  domestic hot water and 15 radiators, two small complaints I feel air intake for the air wash is to small and door glass soots up slightly arada could rectify by making slots bigger, other point curved door has two ledges that collect debris apart from these two things an excellent purchase.

  Very pleased with this boiler, heat to the rads is good. Heating 7 rads easily, but having problems heating the water. Water only gets to hand hot unless I close off the rads. Thermostat control
  is very good to use.

  Stove expert replied: Have you any control on the water that prevents the radiator circuit from coming on until the hot water cylinder is up to 40 degrees as this should help. Speak to your installer regarding this as initial priority of heat should be to the hot water cylinder.

• A Stratford Success

  John Clemits 11 years ago

  We are very pleased indeed with our choice of this Stratford stove. It looks good in a natural stone hearth and is very easy to light and operate. We burn both well- seasoned logs and, after
  experimenting with several types of solid fuel, opted for 'Newflame' nuggets which although a bit more expensive than other solid fuels seems to us to be better value for money - the stove burns this fuel to a fine ash. This stove has turned out to be a first class 'burning machine'. It provides lashings of hot water and heats up to six radiators without any difficulty. The air- wash vent is conveniently placed and is easily controlled and keeps the glass in the door reasonably clear. We have found it necessary to fit a thermostatic safety device to our hot water cylinder which turns on the radiators automatically if the hot water in the cylinder gets too hot and overflows from the overflow pipe. The metal door handle does get very hot; perhaps it should have been made of wood or a similar material which does not conduct heat so readily.

• excellent choice of boiler

  Geoffrey Jarvis 11 years ago

  Start with the positives of the boiler. Very solid and sturdy boiler. Side thermostat and front opening air valve lets you easily light the fire and keep under control. The ash pan is big enough
  not to have to empty all the time. The airwash system works really well when the fire is burning at a very high temperature. The size of the fire is a major plus as we can easily fit 17" logs on to burn. Overnight if we stock up the boiler it lasts about 4 to 5 hrs, then if there is just a tiny bit still burning we just open it up and away it goes. In the winter the fire hardly went out. The boiler easily heats our 3 bedroom house and gives us hot water. The major positive is that I have had no heating bills in just under a year ( I get free timber ).Negative point. We have just two, the first being the handle does get really hot so a fire glove is needed most of the time and the second is that the thermostat is very awkward to access and clean out. But overall the boiler has been a great success.

  Stove expert replied: Ash should be removed on a daily basis and should not be left to build up in the ashpan. Do insure that the wood is dry and seasoned with a moisture content of less than 20%. A stove should be let out on a monthly basis to check that the air ways are clear (drop the baffle down and remove debris off of the top), this is good practise and will allow for maximum efficiency.
