There
is no absolute rule for calculating heat requirement. Every
installation is unique.
Before
we
talk about boiler capacity and output, we must stress that
there is no absolute rule for calculating the amount of
hear that will be needed for a precise room area. This is
because there are so many factors affecting the boiler's
performance. For example, central heating efficiency will
be governed, not only by the number and size of the rooms
to be heated, but also by the number of windows and doors
and the degree of insulation there is. You will also need
to take into account the capacity of your hot water storage
tank and the pipe required to link the system.
....However,
having said that, the following may help to give some indication
of what you can expect, provided the stove is operating
at its optimum efficiency. Heat output is measured in watts
or kilowatts (kW).
....The
old imperial calculation, still preffered by some people,
is measured in BTU's (British Thermal Units). To convert
watts to BTU divide by 0.293. Therefore 2930 watts (2.93kW)
becomes 10,000 BTU.

The
bolt-on legs fitted to gas stoves can only be replaced by
longer ones as a minimum clearance is required. Bolt-on
legs for woodburning stoves can be altered and are available
in lengths of 100mm (4"), 127mm (5") and 254mm
(10"). If you wish to remove the legs then the bolt
holes much be properly sealed. Please check with your dealer.
The legs on multi-fuel stoves are an integral part of the
construction.
