First, let me introduce myself; my name is Don and I have been reading this board for many years now. Thanks to this forum I have gone from burning wood, to trying to burn coal in my wood stove, through the coal stove phase, into the hand fired furnace, then the stoker stove phase and now the stoker furnace phase (hot air).
I have just installed an Alaska 140 dual feeder in my basement and it is working great! On days when it's 60 deg it idels along and the house and the basement are not 85 to 90 deg like when I run the Harman SF3500, only 68 to 72 deg.
So after all that one would think that I am perfectly happy and should get on with my life like a normal person, right? Well, there is this problem, I think it must be the final phase of STAGE 5 stoker madness. My big white truck has been whispering, and I quote, " There is a Yellow Flame Stoker Boiler that we need to go get... Come'on, lets go! ".
It seems that the big white truck has this plan to get a stoker boiler, put it in either the garage or the basement, put a heat exchanger in the hot air ductwork, install an indirect water heater in parrallel with the electric water heater and on top of that, heat the 2 plus car garage and the breezeway.
This is a very long winded way of saying hello and by the way I have a line on a X510 Yellow Flame stoker boiler 102,000 BTU and I need to know if anyone hear knows about this model?
Thank you for your help,

I was also concerned about parts, especially grates, and gave Joe at Marks Supply a call back in the early part of the year and have a new set of grates and a few other parts that was recommeded sitting on the shelf as well as a parts list. He said he has the grates cast regularly and sells a lot of them!
