Thanks Tony, very informative.
Not that any extrapolation would be appropriate, but to give an indication, could you advise the surface dimensions of the ceramic and an approximation of the total boiler volume
Thanks in advance.
Tim

Hi Tim,

The burner I know, as I have just made it is 10 x 30mm and uses a number 3 jet. The boiler is 55mm in diameter, not sure of the length, I will check and get back to you, but less than 100mm. However, any calculations will be effected by the couple of heat exchangers fitted under the boiler. See: https://youtu.be/WY8EBiPSlP0

Take care Tony.
