Hi,
I’ve just purchased a woodstove on eBay for my houseboat – details on https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Antique-Wood-Burning-Stove-French-Art-Deco/254042898853. It has a cooker and two cooking rings. Would it be possible to retrofit a back boiler? If it isn’t possible to position a back boiler inside the stove, could it be placed underneath, assuming lots of insulation (I was planning to stand the woodburner on a brick hearth with a kerb)?
Would be grateful for any advice.
Best wishes,
Verity
It maybe? Ideally it would need to be fitted inside the firebox
How many rads can the back boiler run
2 x .75 KW or 1 x 1.5kw
Hi. I’m thinking of a hobbit and back boiler for a truly off grid (no gas or diesel for heating or cooking) camper conversion. What thickness stainless is the boiler made from and what’s it’s life expectancy please? Also, do you know of any suitable small (<50l) stainless tanks with a heat exchanger in (to store the heated water for a shower and sink) that the hobbit could feed into? I’m also very interested in the range stove with the oven. We live off grid using a similar set up already and want to go mobile! Cheers.
Hi Nathan!
That sounds great, it sounds like a pretty exciting project!
The boiler is made out of 4mm thick stainless steel and it has a life expectancy of 10-15 years. I’m afraid we can’t recommend a small stainless steel tank with a heat exchanger in because we couldn’t find one ourselves, so we made one very easily out of an old copper tea urn instead!
That sounds fantastic, good luck with your mobile set up!

Hi i am looking at buying one of these off of a friend. Can I aftermarket install the boiler?
Hi Brian!
Yes, it’s possible to install a back boiler after purchasing the stove although it is quite difficult. I’ll email you over some instructions!
