Thanks Iaink, I tried that (I had never even heard of Silverlight before!!) but still no joy with either "Facts" or with "Fireing", ...but I don't want to hijack this thread or digress too much. I have learned more about wood pellets v wood stoves though, so I'm good!! Thanks.

But good news, that fix did work on another PC at work, so I will try again on laptop later - maybe I screwed up the "Install"?

Kachelofens are incredibly efficient. I remember being in the Hexenzimmer at Schloss Ringberg in Bayern in the coldest part of a cold winter and spending the evening feeling very toasty while drinking large quantities of helles wearing just a t-shirt (and trousers of course, at least early).

I bought one of these from ChimneyHeaters.com . I installed and it works fine. Heats my 2000 square foot house. I have the pump connected to a UPS but I am not sure how long the pump will run if the electric goes out. I had it installed all winter and did not have to turn on my Electric heat once which saved me about 200 euro a month here in Romania.

The Electric is not stable here so I had to rush to take out the fire a couple of times because the water pump had stopped and the pressure valves were going off. The UPS will solve that but I dont know how long a UPS will keep my central pump going. I will attach a pic of what chimney heaters are in case you are not familiar with them. The pump is a Grundfos and has three speeds.

Thanks to this post, I am now wrestling a wood burning stove into my container. Many thank Mandy
