Making use of the FBH when the stat is working below design temperature, is not a good solution. The FBH tries to heat the coolant to around 78C and if the stat, is trying to maintain less than 78, the heat produced by the FBH and the fuel it burns in producing the heat will be wasted, being dissipated by the radiator warming the outside air once the stat opens.
