plumbing in portable gas stove? Discussion Thread

I'm moving to a flat currently fitted with an induction hob, but I really can't live without a wok burner. The best wok burner approved for domestic indoor use is a German propane-fed portable burner. I'm told the manufacturer can re-jet it for methane - but is there a compliant way to get a portable device permanently plumbed into the mains? If so, is it something any registered engineer should be happy to do?

About "Trusted Advisor" / "Esteemed" tags Discussion Thread

I know a while ago that there was an issue with regards to some members who fell into certain criteria (what year they registered for eg) that meant when we removed the Trusted Advisor tag and moved towards the Esteemed automated version, we may have not rewarded some of the incredibly brilliant plumbers who spent a fair bunch of hours on here between them all.

There will also be a wood burner...

 

Boiler problem Discussion Thread

Dual fuel towel rail heating element Discussion Thread

The instructions with the new dual fuel towel rail we've had installed are in very bad English and, anyway, are pretty short!
Any chance of a couple of quick questions?
1. Do we have turn down the central heating control on the radiator when the electric element is on? Obviously, we wouldn't choose to run the central heating AND have the electric element on but mistakes can happen - is it dangerous?
2. Does anyone have better...
