While i was in the middle of cleaning the efm coal stoker i thought id take some pictures and share them.
I have a propane modulating boiler and the coal boiler sharing the same piping system , with some underground piping . I have to be careful as in the summer the mod boiler runs the pumps every so often for exercise. This has a unintended consequence with the underground piping (not much) of being cool. So if it flows through he fitzgibbons boiler and i have the draft pipe connected*( usually blank off) I can get condensation on the boiler in the summer. thats what some of the stains are on boiler wall.
