Got my old Gentleman Janitor CJ 63 back. I bought it years ago from stoker Scott. Traded it in Warrensburg for an EFM. Its then went to New Hampshire, now back in New Hampshire. Now back in Salem, NY. 16 inch burn pot, it comes up to temperature very fast. I may put it in the cellar if I can get it down there

Nice GJ S.C.!!!

You need to take some better pictures of it though, that GJ deserves it. It would be nice to know if it has cross tubes and how many wet baffles it has.

Thank you for posting it!

Thanks I know the pictures are terrible I am new with a cell phone. Don does SC stand for super chief? I have a smaller Gj posted for sale on forum. This one is not for sale but in one of the bad pictures I took in the for sale section you can see the difference in size between this one and the smaller one piece gj boiler. Rob , I'm going to have to plan ahead as Buck is a little bit harder to find by me

S.C. is for Salem Coal!

That is a nice little GJ you have for sale to. I have one just like it! Yours is in better shape though.

Sounds like you are in the same boat as me with Buckwheat Coal, not really an option down here. I am successfully running Rice Coal in a Van Wert stoker right now. I will likely be trying Rice in a GJ in the future.
