Thats why it says do not block, the boiler will not burn correctly without sufficient air.

Digital carbon monoxide alarms are great if your around to hear it, one of this days the manufacturers will have the brains to fit them on their boilers etc so they cutout the appliance if carbon monoxide is detected.

scruff. Cool

Exactly, there are a few industrial models available, but for the sake of £ 50 quid it should be standard.

One day perhaps?.

You can get a deflector or diverter on the outside so the air cant just blow across but has to go under then in HTH
