Anybody out there ever see one of these?

**Broken Link(S) Removed**

It's a cutie of a little boiler! It states that it is 80,000 BTU, has shaker grates for hand firing and some kind of a stoker. You can see the hopper in the back. Its so tiny the DHW coil plate is wider than the boiler!

Unique...Could stoker just screw/auger in coal from the hopper and gravity drops or slides down a short chute to land on top of fire in middle of the grate?

Automatic grate shaker must be clever as well. 8-)

In experience units that are designed to do two different things aren't much good at either one. I would avoid it.
