After a great show in Essex Jct. Vt.2 weeks ago and an even better show in Richmond, Va last weekend, today I picked up the chip boiler that I used to pass EPA 2 years ago from a dealer that was showing it and had no sales, my goal was to bring it home from Ohio to Maine and clean it up for resale, I made a few phone calls on the way across the southern tier expressway, old rt.17 in NY and before I got to Binghamton NY the boiler was sold, I dropped it off at it's new home 30 miles north of Binghamton. DEALERS GET READY FOR A VERY BUSY YEAR!!!!!!

After the bitter cold winter most of us encountered I'm sure sales are through the roof with these things. Propane and fuel oil raped the hell out of people.

I looked really hard at the P&M chip boiler, problem was here nobody was doing any tree work this winter either from the cold or the two feet of snow in the woods.

I suppose once it got below freezing and stayed a person could stock pile chips as long as they were covered?

Would have been a good excuse to get a three point chipper for one of the tractors.

Did you see the prices on those P&M Stoker Boilers!  $16,800 to $20,200 of OUCH!  Pricey but darn near industrial grade tank builds!

You get what you pay for!

Slim jim i have  a dumb question. Can a person burn coal in a gasification stove or do they not have shaker grates?  I bought my ml 30 with grates and works good  but how does it work in a bl or gasification model.

[slimjim]

I've never tried it with the 250, I don't think it would work out well but perhaps one of the guys in the coal belt could try it, might be an interesting experiment! The B-L shaker is designed for it

[sdrockhauler]

Thanks. Wasnt sure how those gassers worked. Are the bl stoves more enviro freindly than the ml or is it the same stove with bricks. What would happen if I put bricks in my ml.

[slimjim]

Yes they burn far cleaner after the bricks get hot, that holds the heat in the fire instead of the fire right up against the water jacket, hot fires burn cleaner because they burn more of the smoke.
