Here is my idea:

You could heat bricks in your oven, then have a model railway going in and out of every room of your house. You could place the bricks (one per carriage) on the model railway while a 2nd batch is heating in the oven. Then an hour later you could swap the bricks over.

If there is a better way of transferring heat from a central heat source to every room of your house, I can’t think of it…

Excellent idea, can move tea from source to site too.

A couple of weeks back we had the first cold nip in the air. Went downstairs expecting chill but the WBS thermal jacket had done its job nicely. Room was at 18+.which was not expected. I guess I've grown used to its benefits or not been running the WBS hard enough? We'll see how it goes when we dip properly. That is the biggest room we have at 7mtr x 5mtr, a lot of glass too.

A good test room with one connected 800W SH and a couple of hundred kilo storage bricks jacket around the WBS. One other 800W connected in an adjacent open room then the kitchen sans SH. Those three open connected rooms are the heat pump into the rest of the home, works well

My family room is approximately 10x6 x3m high ceilings and is currently 22 deg c with an outside temp of 10 deg. Heater by a 2 element storage heater.

I think the mrs would kill me if I wanted to drill for heat!
Just getting ‘approval’ for the storage heaters!! Which I think is a game changer.

Apparently my idea for a variable heat transfer system didnt impress.

Seems the wife isnt keen in usiing the oven ^^

Just say it’s a new brick cleaning product, designed to absorb the old cooking smells and leave the oven clean.

The game is afoot

"Hi, are the storage heaters you put on Facebook marketplace still available please?"

'Oh, you sold them 2 months ago......"

grrrrr to the seller for leaving the ad up and grrrr to Facebook for hiding the date of posting so well and turning 50km range into 300km as if it didnt matter.


Sigh...the search continues.

Just found some more, this side of 2022 !!
