    Tameriska,
    last place had a solar HWS, only needed to turn the electric elements on a few times in the 4 years we were there. I've got a 2nd hand solar system sitting in the garden, it's on the (long) list of things to do. I want to have a water jacket for the wood stove just to back everything else up, and figure if I do fire it up, I might as well get some hot water out of it too. Most (all?) solar systems are mains pressure and you can have a mains pressure wood fired HWS as well, just depends on the cylinder and how it's set up. I just wouldn't want a wood fired stove to be my only source of hot water, I reckon that electric booster elelment sounds good.

    Cool Wellstood

    Hi did you ever get the Wellstood up and running please. i have on in Western Australia and it is wonderful. i read today it is important to keep the bricks maintained so there is no crack.
    oh why did all the skilled people disappear? i am writing to also ask if you still have the page how to fit the firebricks and if you were able to source the right ones.

    long live Wellstood.

    Hi I too would like to see the fitting instructions or the sizes of the Firebricks. I am attempting to convert a Wellstood that was converted to run on oil back to solid fuel and need any information that is out there . If you could send me any photos of the firebox grate ash pan and existing bricks that would be great. My email is aghadarra27atgmail.com. I’m in Ireland by the way.
