I have possible access to a Buderus Logana 02.40/40 , 145 btu/hr , the biggest one made of this line.
I have done some searching here and there is not much info on this or any other of this series Logana 02.40
It is a hand fed ,if coal is to be used. The original manual that was still with the boiler states that it is a wood boiler.
How ever , other search from Hearth.com , some one states that due to the low ceiling height of the sectional castings
that it is a coal burner. Another German site states it is a coke burner.
I have looked at this unit, and there are slots in the base for air, but they are not grates and are part of the sectional castings , no movement here.
The way to remove ashes is by opening a middle door and inserting a very solid circular brush and heave ho in and out to
get the ashes to fall through the slots and into a lower ash pan. I question this method while the boiler is running, and how well it
works. I guess this should get you thru the ash removal, but I wonder how well it works and how much effort is required.
I know Buderus is a good quality unit. I just question if this system is still desirable.
I will probably go grab it and we can all figure it out.
Here is a pic of when it was new.
Input air is via a lower door, with a temperature chain to door.

I ran a Buderus Juno hand fed stove for 27 years. No forum just figuring things out by myself. The only thought I have is to find American fuel that behaves as the European fuel does. Buderus has been in business for over 250 years, and that is no mistake.

Do a search here and on the interwebs for an Attack FD 42 >>>http://www.attack.sk/en/cast-iron-boilers/wood-coal/ that is what your pic looks like. I had looked into this boiler before I got my New Yorker.

I have a Buderus 02.40-6 (rated at 140k on coal/gas/oil and 125k on wood) in my garage. With those water-cooled grates it is efficient for wood but a PITA for coal. Quality, heavy duty unit with cast iron watertube design but limited size firebox. To me it looks like a good basement wood burner for a small- to medium-sized house.

I would avoid that if I planned on burning coal.

I stripped it today, The rods and nuts seemed to loosen well, I will separate the sections and grab it tomorrow. Too busy shoveling coal today. I think some one would like it as a wood burner and maybe throw some coal in on a cold occasion. looks like the weight on it is 770 pounds, and I do not want to move it in one piece. And on the rebuild, you have a choice of how many sections you want to build it, for log length and BTU output.
