The other Saturday I had to fix a broken pipe in an old farmhouse basement. All I had was my flip phone. I never noticed it before. There’s an old New Yorker also sitting aside it. Don’t know if it worked when disconnected. Dennis

An old Yellow Flame, NICE!

If you or someone you know is looking to convert to a stoker boiler you should grab that unit. Yellow Flame's are nearly indestructible, put out tons of heat and parts are available from Mark's Supply. Think of it as an industrial strength Keystoker.

I just picked one up a few weeks ago and put in my basement due to this forum and it’s members I easily got it up and running and is throwing an enormous amount of heat.

Yellow Flames are very heavy duty boilers. Chances are you will pay next to nothing for one just because no one knows what they are. Don't let that scare you, they are great units! :yes:

Just be prepared, these things are a little heavier than your average Keystoker. :o

Sounds like it could be a very quick ROI, with tremendous savings forever after that... :)
