boiler lagging

(1/6) > >>

logoman:
Most boilers are lagged with mahogany, and the Martin Howes & Bayliss boilers are lagged with a different lighter coloured wood.
What timber is appropriate or authentic for boiler lagging?

Proteus:
Its up to what you want MHB use Pear but have a sheet of ceramic blanket in between the planks and boiler, to protect the wood and keep heat in.

Is wood lagging really needed? Mine fell off and I don't know if I should replace it or not.

Proteus:
can save a bad burn .. {:-{  you just get a burn... <:(

Bunkerbarge:
...plus it's all wasted heat and therefore wasted gas which is also affecting the surrounding model, possibly leading to warping of structures etc.  More of a problem in an enclosed model but I would definately say that lagging is essential.
