Ours is usually set to 17 in the winter and as low as possible in the summer so it just heats the water but not radiators. I also reduce the length of time its on too depending whether we're there or not and time of year. Occasionally we turn it up to get clothes dry because its still cheaper than running a drier when it rains.

multifuel means it will burn solid fuel or wood, depending how you set the grate for the airflow.

Poor Ruth's bedroom (one with a non-working radiator - and you can't get at, except to bleed it, for the mountain of "stuff") was arctic the other day as it was getting the full force of the north wind.

It's not the main heating boiler, however. It's a cast iron stove in my living room fireplace.

You can get them with back boilers, but I didn't look into that as I just wanted a less messy fire than my open basket.

It's irrelevant what ours is set at at present too, because the boiler is on the verge of giving up the ghost... most days we have to relight the pilot and I've come home to a house colder than charity most afternoons...

It's snowing here in London now... not much, and it's not sticking, but there is definately snowflake precipitation... and it's bloody cold!

My tent doesn't have a thermostat.
