Sharp Point

Evening all, I'm currently in the alps snowboarding. I've just had my meal and browsing some recent posts and got me wondering about what is the best boiler on the market, we all have our preferences. After ideals shamble of shat ' isar' I vowed never to touch an ideal again, but I was coaxed in with the 'logic' but that's just as bad.
Let's design a boiler with all our knowledge, let's use the best parts from whatever boiler. Only one answer each and cover everything from casing to sensors to wiring to flue etc etc and give your reason

I'll start with this bad boy, viessmann main heat exchanger ! Stainless and would probably last a 1000 years of heavily sludged mess before needing a bloody good powerflush. Lol

Glow worm hideaway, BF. That was it.

Cast iron heat ex, No worries about sludge.
1 x MF gas valve
1 x Stat
1 x thermocouple.
78-84% efficient ( roughly and depending on system, these are my figures and I do not care if anyone disagree's with me)
Lasted a good 20 - 30 years !
Easy to service and repair. ( not that they ever needed repairing).
Bring it back tomorrow for me !

Memory lane: When Men were Men, and Boilers ran for 30 years
Memory lane: When Men were Men, and Boilers ran for 30 years My old 1972 floor-mount boiler is on the way out. The casting's been weeping water for a 12 month now, a Potterton brick of a thing, bigger than any washing machine. A Honeywell 2 button, as an upgrade?!, not much else in it. You know...
