  1. I live in a static and a few folks have mentioned that I should leave the fire as is. As long as the 4 pipes are not connected and not capped the air can escape so no build up of pressure inside the Boiler so no explosion, also mentioned that if I am worried about the boiler warping etc due to high heat to somehow fix fire bricks to the face of the redundant boiler. So i was thinking of drilling through the firebricks and then into the face of the redundant back boiler to hold the bricks in place? D'ya think this may work guys? Saves the hassle of taking the bloody thing out and capping off the holes etc and then fitting firebricks in the back of it. Thanks ever so much guys from your input so far, learning a lot here
  2. Many thanks Pete, I'm hoping it can be removed (I wandered what the 2 long screw n nuts were for) as I will never use the boiler again, Please excuse my ignorance, i take it that it is dangerous due to heat then pressure could blow up the empty boiler? I thought that with those pipes not capped there would be no pressure as such due to those pipes pressure would be released, I was advised on another site to drills holes in the back boiler to release pressure but surely those redundant pipes would do that, again please excuse my ignorance, cheers Pete
  3. Hi Guys, I live totally off grid and use a small portable gas fire for heating but living on my war disability pension this is getting very expensive with gas bottles getting so expensive. I was given an old multi fuel burner which obviously used to be part of a back boiler system? as per the pipes coming out the back of it? Anyway I've totally refurbished it and think it's ready to go. I/ve now heard that I cant use one of these multi fuel burners without water going through it as it is very dangerous. I just want to use this as it is now (see pics) for heating my place with wood/coal. I don't have a lot guys but what I do have I want to keep including my ability to breath lol I don't know what make or model this beast is but I know it's very very heavy. it does have a small outline of a fuel stove on it but no other identification. Any help would be greatly appreciated guys as it would be lovely to have proper heat this winter, there are 4 pipes coming out of the bag the top left one is capped? Haven't got a clue what the pipes were/are for but I think for water? Please excuse my ignorance but military veteran here and know nothing of this stuff
