Default LOT20 storage heaters , old systems and changing a storage heater - anyone up on this?

So how does a slow heater make any difference. Take the kettle if it takes
longer to boil the water surely you have probably used the same power as you
would have with a more powerful heater for a shorter time. Same goes for
room heaters.

Which is stupid.

A big fat thermal store you fill up when the sun is shining and the wind
is blowing is ideal to work with renewables.

(Given, of course, it will store for several days...)
