so as the titles suggests, i stumbled upon this insane idea for a boiler that i just cant get out of my head... Now i have a harman sf260 with no issues that runs like a dream, but i cant help but keep looking up information on this anthratube designed boiler.... I have it in the back of my head if i ever need to drop 10+k but is there anyone out there with one of these units that can tell me about it, and how you like it?

It's a beast. Where did you get the $10K number? New they are probably $3-4K more than that, a good used one can be $2-4K, or less if you're lucky.

If by "Anthratube" you mean Axeman Anderson Anthratube, here are a few hundred Youtube videos.

If you go over to the coal stoker boiler section of this forum you will find many people with the same, crazy obsession you have with these things!
