Fill Rayburn Boiler with sand? or other idea - Help please
Posted: Wed Oct 05, 2011 5:37 pm
Hi All
Thanks for reading this.....
I am renovating a place and will be getting my Rayburn bought here soon (Fife) and it currently had been running radiators and water. I don't actually need the water or radiator heating side of it for the first year.
I wondered if anyone has experience of filling the back boiler with sand ? and or does anyone have advice as to what it the best thing to do OR will I cause problems for later.
OR
If put a tank on it for water and wondered if the cold needs to come from a tank also or can it come straight from the mains?
Would I also need to add a small radiator as well as water tank?
OR
Could I just run small radiator on say a towel rail type.
My issue is that I am going to be using it for the one room I shall live in whilst beginning renovations and need it mainly for cooking and warmth at the moment.
Any suggestions thoughts greatly welcomed.
Thanks JB
